@Photonic@lemmy.world, if you already knew Proton had a history of capitulation, why did you ask? Especially when the next thing you did was pretend it didn't matter.

Mate, I sense a lot of anger in you. Try to calm down a bit. I’m not the enemy here. I want privacy just as much as you do.

Your definition of capitulation is a bit (and by a bit, I mean very much) exaggerated.

"Mate," you got an answer to your question, but opted to brush it off in several ways. If you did care, take it up with Proton and stop being disingenuous here.

Disingenuous? The only disingenuous thing is calling someone else disingenuous just because they have a different opinion. Don’t ever call me disingenuous, because that’s not what I am.

Your definition of capitulation is absurd and the way you’re going into this discussion is nothing more than Trump-like and scummy. Kindly fuck off with your pedantic and paediatric behaviour and leave the grown-ups be.

Photonic, you are the poster child for disingenuous behavior. Upon being shown proof that Proton misleads its customers, your only retort was that they shouldn't have to.

No answer huh? But you did find the time to make a bunch of other comments.

How convenient… or should I say disingenuous of you?

Really, what part of my comment is disingenuous?

You don’t hold the truth. You just have an opinion and a very dumb and short-sighted one at that. And as you know, opinions are like assholes. That doesn’t mean you have to start acting like an asshole to defend your shitty opinion.

Your mind is just too simplistic to comprehend a simple concept. That is entirely on you and doesn’t make me disingenuous, no matter how hard you try. You just learned a new word and thought that made you sound smart… it didn’t.
