    Yeah, Proton is awesome, that’s for sure. Now, being a “security and privacy” company, it blows my mind that they put so much effort on making apps for Windows and Mac first, leaving Linux behind, and when they finally get to it, they just dump in a glorified PWA. This world is really weird 🤣🤣

      And that they decided to go with RPM and DEB instead of just doing a Flatpak

        Are you kidding me? Doesn’t bother me that much, as I use Thunderbird with Protonmail bridge. I’m still waiting on Proton Drive for linux. Well, I’m gonna end up self hosting at this point. :(

        I had no idea the whole world was capitalist, but I guess I don’t know everything. And there’s the fact that I mentioned the world, not a form of political economy. But yeah, capitalism is weird.

        I don’t use either OS, but the apps are .DMG (Mac) and .exe (Windows), so I believe they are, yes.

            I had no idea. That’s good information to have. And my wife doesn’t get why I spend so much time in Lemmy. I learn more here than with all the online courses I take regularly put together. I love this community.
