For context, in my password manager I had tried formatting some of my entrees so that it would contain the usual username and password, but instead of creating whole new entrees for the security questions for the same account, I just added additional fields in the same entree in order to keep things a little more tidy.

I was not expecting that doing so would result in later being shaken down by Proton to pay even more money just to access the same few bytes of fucking text I had trusted them with. This is sleazy as fuck and I am dropping these idiots entirely.

      Yeah, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt (because sunk cost fallacy), but this is only one of a number of issues I’ve had with them and I need to be more quick to acknowledge grift when I know I see it.

        he’s been caught cozying up to fascists. i think he took down the most damning tweets where he publicly praised trump.

        It’s more that he’s comfortable associating with fascists than one outright (I don’t know that we know enough about his own political stances).

        Shortly after Trump was elected a second time, he tweeted, “10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned,” (https://archive.ph/iKaz3). Which, like…the first time Trump won, I might see; the second time – though –, Trump’s made clear his desire to threaten and harm everyone within reach. The further along we go in his second term, the more he’s followed through on what he’d been promising the entire campaign.

        While I, likewise, disagree with the tech. inclinations of certain camps of the Democrats, that by and far wouldn’t convince me to throw my support behind the fascist leader who’s spent 8 years, now, harming and indicating he’ll harm huge swaths of communities and populations.

        As far as I know, that’s usually what people are referring to and the precariousness of trusting an individual who’d make decisions like this.
