Wow, no need to go all body shaming :(

"I'm in a government that condones - if not encourages - businesses from rejecting customers based on their own ideology, but don't do it to me!"

The CEO made a remark about Trump, and used his corporate account for it.

If I recall correctly (no press statement was made by Proton), it was a personal remark on a corporate account, which he was quick to allow anyone to do. It also didn't support Trump as a whole, just a remark Orangeman made about getting small business a level playing field (which I totally trust from an olicharch).

I'm still sticking with Proton for the foreseeable future, as its privacy awareness and advocacy is still a core business value.

I think one week of that will render you insane

Yeah, I won't buy another one again, but now that I have one, I don't want to e-waste it just because the cable is too short.

Electric fire danger is really changing my opinion on this though.

It's partly "in case we're deciding to be idiots and go to active war zones" stuff, but I see those rich fucks using military level weapons against civilian drones because they can afford to act above the law.

In the Netherlands your pension fund is withheld from your wages (partially a mandatory government fund, partially a fund your employer might select).

My previous employer invested about 1% of my wages into the fund, which was quite shite. My current employer invests 10% and has a significantly better return.

Health insurance is a monthly cost you pay on your own (starting at around € 120 / mo). It's a € ~350 yearly deductible and coverage is mostly decided by the government. Any additional coverage is your own choosing and comes at a premium.

As you can only switch contracts on a yearly basis, comparing health plans is effectively a Christmas tradition for all Dutch citizens.

A hotel I stayed at recently had a vending machine filled with beer and wine. It just worked with the honour system, no ID check or whatever.

It was fairly nicely priced too, especially for a hotel.

He's really good at writing words about his on-stolen-content-based generated image, you got to give him that.

But no, fuck copyrighting AI content, that's a dead channel from a copyright perspective.
