You must be fun at parties.

It probably IS standard notes, given that Proton acquired them.

Not for 99% of the population…

Well, sounds great for any non mobile storage then. Don’t think anybody cares whether their 10kWh solar battery is twice the size and weight if it’s half the price.

Thank you :)

What other benefits do they have? Do they have less wear or are cheaper per Wh to produce?

Or at least, about to be when production ramps up further?

Sound depends on whether you value low noise. And not sure about tactile feeling, but ngl, the feeling of drivint an ICE car is awful after switching to EVs. The instant acceleration and responsiveness is just great.

So you agree that we should heavily invest in building EV charging infrastructure?

Where is the xkcd talking about cars?

I didn’t remove context, you added context.

Your argument is with electric cars vs ice cars. xkcd likely specifically was talking about engines just so all the range arguments don’t work. It’s just engine vs engine and there electric is far superior.

My point is that you can’t compare a platform like reddit to a protocol like email.

While gmail and outlook are insanely big, how much of all email traffic do they handle? Sure, they are insanely big, but I doubt they are above 50%

On the other hand, how big is reddit compared to all other link aggregators? I think it’s pretty surely far above 50%.

Or how big is YouTube as a VOD platform?

I’m not advocating for discuit, but being like “they think federation can’t build a mainstream platform, but look at email” is kind of missing the point.

Also email is the only example for federation. It’s an outlier, mainly because it was one of the first things on the net. Everything else is platforms, unfortunately.

Also still in the blog everything is words and very opaque like " We do this not only through technology and advocacy (Proton has contributed over $500,000 toward defending these values around the world)" : like where, what, when?

Should they always go into a downward spiral and explain everything they did? Check out the Proton Christmas fundraisers, that’s what they are talking about

There was no legal possibility to resist or fight this particular request." : I doubt very much unless Switzerland is a dictatorship in disguise.

No legal system in the world allows you to fight everything all the time. Get to reality.

Switzerland generally will not assist prosecutions from countries without fair justice systems." : clearly not.

Wasn’t that case in France? Don’t remember exactly. Not sure if you’re calling France to have unfair justice systems, but then you should probably look for a new planet, because nothing is 100% fair unfortunately.

You can still distinguish between very bad, kind of bad, okayish, and mostly good.

Yeah, they are talking about platforms, not protocols.

Lemmy.world is the platform. Or mastodon.social. Or Gmail. Or Outlook.

Email is not a platform, though.

Just because it’s still in my clipboard from another post:

Long story short, they got ordered to do so by a court, which is legally binding and they won’t go to jail for you.

Long story short: Proton got ordered to give the IP by a court and they will not go to jail for you. Surprise.
