I also saw reports that Proton has divulged some private information to at least one government entity.
Please go read about the facts of that. All they handed over was the recovery email address. And they didn't just hand it over on demand, it was complying with a court order and after their own lawyers had made sure that what they had requested was legal under Swiss law. It is the same as every company operating anywhere in the world is legally required to do. Every company has to comply with a legal court order issued against them in the country they're operating and those courts only issue those orders if the alleged offence committed is illegal in that court's country. And as Proton cannot see files, email contents, or any other personal information related to users' accounts, that information cannot be shared with authorities on request. Literally the only thing Proton can see is a recovery email address.

The absence of a linux client is exactly what the CEO is complaining about. The lazy ass luddite programmers at proton are causing the company to fail.
In the password manager space, 1Password is eating their lunch with AI integrations that protonpass can only dream about.
Honestly at this point if AI spits out a Proton Drive linux client in the next couple of months it kind of proves the CEO's point given that his programming team still haven't done over 2 years later despite several unofficial clients using rsync being released.

The CEO literally just said thinking about security is "loser thinking" and that "perception is more important than truth" -- if it were my money and my stuff, I would've dropped all of their services like a hot potato.
Loser thinking is dropping everything at the drop of a hat based on nothing more than one article written by somebody nobody has heard of on a fringe website.

Biting the hand that feeds them.
They'll bitch about lack of tax revenue and want to raise taxes (again) once all the data centers are being built in North Dakota or BFE.
Ha ha!
Oh my sweet summer child you really believe that the tech companies pay taxes on those data centers?

the company is now monitoring all traffic and paging security if live internet access is detected.
Unfortunately by the time it's detected that and someone has blocked the internet access the damage may already have been done given the speed these models work and the bandwidth they have available to them.

I suspect this is a non story. What's the alternative to Microsoft? PSN doesn't have a streaming system.
Been living under a rock for the last decade? Playstation Plus has had cloud streaming for ages...it was first launched as Playstation Now back in 2014.

Memory now is expensive now, and fewer people shell out for the gigabytes of memory a typical Linux system needs.
Linux uses less RAM than Windows. A typical Windows 11 installation will use 2GB more than a typical Linux installation sat on the desktop.

Which loss of functionality are you referring to?
HDR if you choose X over Wayland and if you have a Nvidia card you're using a hell of a lot when it comes to DLSS, especially because there's no Nvidia App that can automatically over-ride the game's DLSS version on a per game or global basis. Those are just two I can think of OTTOMH.

Ecosia, which I've been using for over a year, and Qwant. Both source from Bing and Google as well whilst they continue to expand EUSP (European Search Perspective), a search index built by Ecosia and Qwant and based in Paris.
