Praising the pick wasn't so bad. The issues really arose when he was called out on it and chose to use Proton's official accounts to affirm his view and went on to state:
the republican party is now the party of the people and most likely to crack down on big tech
The democrats have effectively betrayed their voters in favour of corporate donations
This was Proton's official stance
It was insane boot licking and incredibly poorly thought through. It's fine for him to have an opinion but completely inappropriate to use their official accounts to spew such drivel and to state it was the official stance should have resulted in him being fired for damaging their reputation.
WHSmith was the first business to adopt enshittification as a business model.
Back when a 500 ml drink was typically £1 or £1.20 in most stores they'd be marked up to £2 in WHSmith and you'd be conned into thinking buying 2 for £3 was a good deal.
Then the sales desk would be littered with giant bars of shitty chocolate that the cashier had to suggest you buy.
Such a shitty store. Wish it had failed a long time ago.
I don't think you even need to configure the email.
If I recall correctly emails are optional for Let's Encrypt but Caddy are partnered with ZeroSSL who do require emails so you're encouraged to provide one.

It was far more then one complement. After the drama stirred the CEO started posting a bunch of official statements justifying his words in the reddit thread. Then kept editing and rewording them in response to the negative feedback. It was entirely unnecessary
Somebody had posted the link elsewhere in this thread. I'd been mistakenly searching u/ProtonSupportTeam for the offending comments rather than u/ProtonTeam
Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can't find either so suspect they've been deleted to try to quell the flames.
Tbh it was probably a criticism of capitalism more than the public or private sectors. Why consider the long term when you could just cut costs to inflate short term profitability.
I dunno. The proactive approach you're describing doesn't sound very public sector. Why invest money in something when you could just ignore the issue, cross your fingers and hope it happens to someone else, not you.
