Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with!

this appear to however only be a frontend ui and doesn’t change anything on the data collection / OS right? still - looks very cool, will definitely check it out.

okay, thanks for this - gonna have to do some research

do you have to set it up yourself or does it come pre-configured? i ask cause i just got out of setting up my own server and as a non-tech native, it was EXHAUSTING (rewarding, yes - but time intensive).

copy that - thanks for the hint. honestly, if it doesn’t work in the future, I’ll probs just cancel my account with them

Revolut works fine for me still on Graphene?

oh yeah? well my grandma’s 212 year old great grandpa picked it up within seconds.

Anyone see the Johnny English with the American billionaire cyber-terrorist Jason Volta as the main antagonist?

That’s how I see news coming from Washington developing on a daily basis.

We need you Rowan Atkinson.

Dumbass Overlooking Governmental Existence

There’s never the perfect moment, there will always be one more post, or picture, or question you need to post on either Instagram or Reddit. It felt like an addiction for me. When I deleted IG three years ago, I didn’t know what to do with my time for weeks. I started taking up old hobbies and reading books again. I never looked back.

Reddit was harder for me too, I was just getting feeds on things I was really interested in, whilst exchanging ideas with others. I like Lemmy because of it’s not as large user base - less distractions.

Anyways, welcome to the Fediverse! It’ll take some adjusting at first, but guarantee you’ll overcome it!

Agent 47’s cabin. For those that don’t know, he’s the main character from the Hitman games - and yes, his crib is epic.

I don’t see any reason why it would affect your application(s) in the slightest. A good CV is a good CV. You could have @goatfondler.com for all I care.

This one’s wild

I genuinely don’t remember the exact instances we were speaking about, but it happens from time to team. They released data from a French citizen to Swiss & French authorities in the past, and I’m sure this isn’t the only case.

Maybe not the contribution that you’re looking for, but going to tell you this story regardless.

I am Swiss, and am a former Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA / EDA) employee. My colleagues and I had organized an evening on cybersecurity, where we showcase what Switzerland has to offer. I invited stakeholders such as:

• Dreamlab (really cool company, should look them up if you don’t know of them)
• NCSC (Swiss National Cyber Security Center)
• Some Swiss cyber regulator; and
• Proton

Firstly, when speaking to a delegate of one of the above listed (don’t feel comfortably sharing publicly which one), he ushered a statement; upon me saying I’m a huge Proton fan and subscribed to all services - “they are lying to your faces”.

I was curious, so I spoke with the regulators and NCSC delegates, they said that Proton has been involved in a handful of leaks - some that were made public, some behind the scenes.

When I spoke to Andy, having told him that I grew up in Canada, I asked him what his plan was for North America. His response: “I will gladly take their money, but never open up shop there - too many national security departments that come knocking on the door”.

Now I see that (on the Proton page), that they are looking for a few US based positions for Marketing and Growth - going against what we discussed a few years back. In all honesty, I still have a Plus subscription with them, but beginning to questions a lot more things regarding security and ethics at Proton. Guess I’ll just self-host in the future. Trust no one but yourself with your personal data.
