No they don't. Their CEO is an idiot and said that Republicans are the party of small business and did so on the official Proton social media channels. But it clearly is their opinion and they never said they support Republicans and Trump on anything else.

How? We try to adopt AI for dev work for years now and every time the next gen tool or model gets released it fails spectacularly at basic things. And that's just the technical stuff, I still have no idea on how to tell it do implement our use cases as it simply does not understand the domain.

It is great at building things other have already built and it could train on but we don't really have a use case for that.

In Switzerland it's Twint, but if you are from here you probably knew that, we seldom need to use any other payment system.

Softwaere engineer in Switzerland, I work 36h a week, 5 days a week. I start at 8:30 and usually work till 16:30 which gives me plenty of time for my hobbies. Company is fully owned by its workers which is not bad eithet even though 50℅ belong to the top C-suite managers (which they bough from their bosses when they left the company, so the shares do stay with the employees). I make around 110k CHF a year (which is nice as I only pay like 6k in income tax). Pretty happy.

Yes, but I actually would pay them for their services if they guarantee me that they will use that money to improve Firefox and Firefox services. I want to be a premium user of Firefox, but instead of trying to monetize their core userbase they annihilate them.

I actually like their advertising business idea and their other services and I understand that they need money but is whay they are doing right now really the best way?

Firefox, while I dislike their new FAQ and TOS I build it from source and the TOS does not apply.

I wish they would make Firefox Sync a self hostable product that they also host for you for like 5 bucks a month. I would pay for it (or any other way to directly give money to FX instead of Mozilla) like I do for Bitwarden.

This is perfectly legal, the law only says that the user must freely choose to allow the website to save said data. You can opt out here and not use that website.

Yeah quite nice, I am now looking for the same on their Android app but it does not seem to exist. Have to try their WebDAV server, sounds like a potential solution around it.

Is there a way to sync folders with local folders? I usually sync my pictures/documents/etc folders with their local equivalent.

Valve is such a weird company, on one hand they do things like this, on the other hand there is CS gambling.

Yeah it is awesome, it just cost me a year of my professional career without any real benefits...

And our military is mostly regarded as a joke, I am seriously not sure why we even have it. It would probably collapse in days if it needs to defend our country.
