It turns out that not only is @protonprivacy vibe-coding their software now, they've also just launched an AI chatbot that rips apart their E2EE security guarantees and they've made plans to move out of Switzerland to another unspecified EU country*. Really glad that I switched off a few months ago.

*Edit: The move is apparently planned because of changes in Swiss privacy laws, which is a valid reason for the organization to exit Switzerland.

What is this woman's qualification to talk about "AI Education"?
Any random person you find in the street who has no clue about most things will be more knowledgable than this woman, whose only qualification is marrying one of the biggest con artists i.e Discount store Hitler
They are pushing AI scam left, right & center
These people are insufferable.
@palestine @lebanon @iran @israel @anarchy @anarchism
Listening to her definitely gives the confidence that she knows what she is talking about ("AI" education)
They want to screw actual literacy programmed by injecting AI spam, to boost the stocks of the AI speculators
Existing system itself is so much problematic, but these complete bozos want to make it even worse.

Zusammen für den Gasausstieg!
[Transkript]Wir stehen hier in Reichling denn Ende Gelände Aktivistinnen haben heute den Gasborturm besetzt.
Wir haben verschiedene Aktionsformen, aber wir stehen hier gemeinsam in der gleichen Sache: Für den Gasausstieg hier und weltweit!
Ich komm hier aus Reichling und wir machen uns Sorgen um unser Trinkwasser, unsere Quelleinfassung geht hier durch über diesen Bohrplatz drüber und dort hinten gibt es ein FFH (Flora-Fauna-Habitat) Gebiet. Wir machen uns Sorgen um die Natur und um unsere Trinkwasserquelle.
Wir von Fridays for Future sind auch dringend für den Gasausstieg, denn damit wir uns das Heizen nächsten Winter noch leisten können, denn mit dem Erdgas wird es immer so richtig krass teuer, und es wär viel besser wenn wir das mit erneuerbaren Energien hinkriegen würden, aber Aiwanger ist das Gas schon so krass zur Kopf gestiegen, dass er das gar nicht mehr rallt. Er müsste diesen Irrsinn hier beenden und er könnte das auch tun
