Proton is vibe coding some of its apps.

Is M$ stuff provably e2ee? Is Proton a publicly traded company? Does M$ have even close as good a track record as Proton? Are most M$ clients OSS?

Edit: Proton isn't perfect, not by a long stretch. I'm not stanning them either way, but being alarmist and giving in to mob mentality is counterproductive.

For me they just offer the right balance of being partially OSS, strong privacy and strong security that I can pragmatically "overlook" things even as a leftist and free/libre "hardliner" (as I already mentioned: the pragmatic kind. I don't see a point in using Linux-Libre and am ok with proprietary blobs or "tainted" packages for codecs necessary for piracy if there is no alternative and if they don't cause active harm (as in "phoning home" or shit like that. Linux-libre is a detriment to your security BTW)

I use it with the full knowledge that they will start to track me and share my IP with Europol if they come with a warrant. (They are unable to comply with anything further, thanks to their e2e architecture)

It is part of my threat model and I use it solely for private stuff.

I couldn't care less that the CEO had one slipup praising a Republican with a seemingly good track record (although I did not investigate that matter)

And being a Luddite about AI is really counterproductive, it has arrived in our society and if correctly utilised will be just another tool used to automate or autocomplete etc.

Basically what your IDE already does but on steroids
