Making code easier to write exacerbates our existing issues with review bandwidth.
Man, so much this. LLM written code is, most of the time, both excessively verbose, and overly complicated.
Also, I’ve found myself asking more about “why” than “how” in my reviews. Why is this loop here, why is this one liner method used only once, why do these five tests do the same thing. I’ve reached a point where I feel like I'm gaslighting myself into thinking that I'm constantly missing something, because nothing makes sense from an engineering perspective anymore.
Seriously can you dispute that or are you just going to keep going "no u! no u!" every time your precious corporation gets caught
I would love to, but since you aren't capable of addressing anything I have said, and would rather replace my arguments with your personal beliefs, I won't.
You could have simply said “yeah I use X, and turns out that X also complies with legal subpoenas, even when they say that they are privacy focused and this and that”. Instead, you are on a multi month denial tour where Proton, and only Proton, does this. Which is so consistent and so dishonest, it is hard to believe that there isn't anything shady behind your drive to discredit them.
you've admitted Proton is engaged in corporate deceptive practices
I did not say that. Again, putting your beliefs before the facts.
But I can play this game too.
You have admitted that you use a service that necessarily follows the same legal framework as Proton, which makes you a hypocrite. On top of that, your refusal to admit it and your systematic and continuous campaign against Proton, suggests that you may actually be just a marketing asset astroturfing for some other company and/or organization.
And I’m going to assume that, since I asked you two questions earlier, one implicit (is Proton an outlier when it comes to handling subpoenas), and another explicit (which service do you use instead of Proton), and, instead of answering, you would rather keep peddling the same FUD over and over again, that you are full of shit.
No. What you implicitly said is that they should ignore the law, which not only none of their competitors do, but also would take them out of business.
Every time I see this type of argument, I wonder what is expected from Proton. No one ever answers that.
Tutanota, another popular provider, also releases data on court orders, so do Mailfence and Countermail. Same goes for messaging services like Telegram or Signal. Most of these also publish yearly transparency reports with detailed information.
This is not new, nor unusual. Pretending that Proton is the outlier here is a lie.
How something is framed, is different from what it actually is, even if the background is the same.
In this case, there isn’t anything notably shady about running A/B tests or deactivating a promotion using a feature flag that doesn’t reach some instances in time, I personally have run into issues like this many times.
Now, Windscribe is taking a single HTML tag as undeniable proof that Proton is trying to screw their customers. They published their “proof” in four tweets and left it there with no further explanation.
And it’s not like this is the first time they used amplified media to attract users from other platforms. They also published a satirical statement about Mullvad back when the political donation scandal came out, and they are extremely active on social media, especially Twitter and Reddit.
If this doesn't look like scary tactics and conflict of interest, I don't know what it is.
I judge people for what they eat every time I put a foot in a Target.
Let’s normalize shaming adults who eat like five year olds.

You know what's tiresome? Having some sort of LLM shoved in every single piece of software or service.
I want new features and bug fixes, not the same chatbot everywhere.
I don’t want another bot engaging with the community to farm for responses, which will inevitably end up in some training set somewhere.
I’m just pointing out that the severity makes it a nothing burger.
Also, not all illegal things are crimes. For instance, overstaying your visa is a civil violation, not a crime.
If you want to troll, at least get your basic facts right.
Entering into the US illegally is a misdemeanour, not a felony.
This is a lie.
It is even funnier to see how you fail to acknowledge that Proton isn't doing anything every other privacy focused service does.
Good luck finding a service that doesn’t hand anything to the authorities when they receive a subpoena. You are going to need it.
You just insinuated that I'm a shill, and now you complain that I'm getting back at you?
First you complain about me not answering your questions when you ignore mine, now this. What a fucking hypocrite.
I would love to, but since you aren't capable of addressing anything I have said, and would rather replace my arguments with your personal beliefs, I won't.
You could have simply said “yeah I use X, and turns out that X also complies with legal subpoenas, even when they say that they are privacy focused and this and that”.

On top of that, your refusal to admit it and your systematic and continuous campaign against Proton, suggests that you may actually be just a marketing asset astroturfing for some other company and/or organization.
And I care that you refused to answer either of my questions, which I asked first.
Which by the way, makes you a hypocrite.
And I’m going to assume that, since I asked you two questions earlier, one implicit (is Proton an outlier when it comes to handling subpoenas), and another explicit (which service do you use instead of Proton), and, instead of answering, you would rather keep peddling the same FUD over and over again, that you are full of shit.
Which provider do you use? Should be easy to answer.
That is some Goebbels-level bullshit, but alright.
They do. It's in their transparency page, same for Tuta or any other legitimate provider.
Which provider do you use?
No. What you implicitly said is that they should ignore the law, which not only none of their competitors do, but also would take them out of business.
So, no, wishful thinking is not an answer.
