Andy Yen's values are incompatible with Proton's mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.

Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.

If you're able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can't let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.

See? You're almost helpful. But I do have to ask you if that password manager has a name? You see, at this point most people would've already given up or just ask ChatGPT or Google AI about it, which in this case would be hypocrite but I digress.

    Sure, had you asked about a solution rather than trying to write some sort of gotcha. KeePassXC is a fully complete password manager, better than whatever subscription crap you'd rather push, and it stores everything into an encrypted local db file you control. Now guess what I'd recommend for syncing that file across other devices.

    Okay now you have to give me a source on that too.

    Do you understand a source is? How can one provide a source to a subjective statement with a comparison that doesn't name a particular service? Provide me a source that my favorite dish is yakisoba.

    I was just calling out your antagonism because making wild assumptions about me is pretty wild. Sorry if I'm being perceived as help vampire for asking for directions. Please, if you only wish to give information with a side dish of hostility then you can keep your secrets.
