In guessing the left is Proton but those icons are about as bad as googles.
They might have actually somehow managed to come up with worse logos than Google uses. I assume the top one is an email app, the bottom left is a file manager, and bottom centre is a password manager? But I'm less than certain about those, and everything else is a complete mystery.
From top left to bottom right, horizontal first:
The only ones that are a bit ambiguous are the Password Manager and the VPN logos imo
Napkins

Square not turned sideways
Triangle
Folder
Half-eaten donut hanging on a doorknob
Cat
How was I supposed to infer the meaning of those?
Its amazing, in an era where our phones have higher res than monitors did 20 years ago, icons have less detail.
Like show a damn calendar for the calendar icon. Hell, the ANSI emoji would be better. 📆
I don't trust proton either
The company could flip any time but for now their products are pretty good as a google alternative. I use the calendar, mail, cloud, contacts and vpn app and have zero complaints. Plus they couldn't access any of my data if they wanted to.
they couldn’t access any of my data if they wanted to.
I am not so sure that's true
The thing is, it's not true about any E2E encryption where all parts of the codebase are controlled by the company.
It could be as simple as updating their website to send your password to them in plain text while logging in, now the encryption is useless as they would have your password.
i trust them more than google. they've been a little sketchy lately (bc of the ai stuff, not the ceos political stuff) but at least only one entity has my data this way. I'd rather self-host but i can't rn.
This meme format is sexist. Why is it always always always the woman who has the negative side?
You would have to be terminally online to be upset over something this trivial
I think it's a fair point. Anyone could be either person so no one instance of this is directly offensive, but I agree memes like this seem to routinely put down women.
I don't think op is pissing and shitting and crying over it, there's just no place to talk about it other than the meme itself. Anyone could criticise your comment in the same way, and it's just a strawman argument.
Third party service run by corpos who pinky promise not to harvest any of your data
In-app tool that doesn't cache your client-side data
Is the woman the negative side on this?
Both aren't really private. Both is a for-profit company claiming it to be private.
Proton is a non-profit.
No. Proton is a for profit company whose largest shareholder is a non profit foundation. As is written right in your linked post. The foundation is not the company.
Oh. Didn't know lol. I just saw Proton blabla non-profit blabla and jumped to a conclusion too fast like I always do 🥴
Somebody get this user some lemmy silver.
For-profit company and private are not mutually exclusive though. Mullvad VPN for example is ~~as much~~ a for-profit company ~~as~~ unlike proton which is nonprofit, and arguably also one of the most private VPN services available.
No matter who someone is, don't give them all of your personal property.
I use Protonmail from Proton. That's it.
I want another person with neck beard disgusted by both of them using Tor, I2P, Qubes, and GrapheneOS
Left: People that can't selfhost
Right: People that have never heard of it
Design brief: Make them look like the google suite but purple. The harder it is to work out what the app does from the logo, the better.
Proton lol. You're such a joker
We all know privacy is purple, we just can't agree on the exact shade.
Real privacy starts when you check app permissions and stop giving flashlight apps your location.
Replace all the icons on her side with just a thought bubble:
.oO( BRUH. LEAVE ME ALONE! )
One day account with only one post, from someone who probably never hosted mails 😂
For a moment I wasn't sure which one of the two would be better. After careful consideration I decided both are noobs, because real pros only use emacs rigged to behave as the whole OS on an airgapped 15 year old thinkpad for anything that needs a computer, but most likely keep that in a vault too and only get it when absolutely necessary.
ah yes. misoginy.
I've seen this meme several times where she is the one with the actual detailed take and he is the one with the simple take.
It's not that deep.
The misoginy is in your head.
Both stupid
The joke is on you here. Proton is a locked-in CIA honeypot and everybody knows it.
