Hey that's cool!

If your current ceo is still in place when it's time for me to renew, I'm gone.

Great tip! Thanks!

[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why them? Are their CEOs anti-Trump?

[–] Senal@programming.dev 10 points 4 months ago

I don't think anti-trump is a strict requirement.

Not publicly and directly messaging a known rapist and convicted felon to let him know you think he's doing a good job "standing up for the little guy" would probably suffice.

What have I missed? Who is the CEO and what did they do?

Thanks, was seriously considering Proton mail. Think I’m just going to set up my own mail server.

Think I’m just going to set up my own mail server.

Don’t, it’s not worth it for a multitude of reasons.

My exact thoughts, except I cancelled my auto-renewal and emailed support asking for a refund (and mentioning why). This way they find out sooner than later that this type of action is losing them business and can take corrective actions. I will likewise return if they change up their leadership in the future.

It's not "damage control", they've been doing this sort of thing for many years.

actions >> words

Edit: I'd rather a guy that loves Trump, but is accepting in person and spends their time volunteering on the weekend, than a self-proclaimed leftist that spends their time criticizing everyone while not doing shit about anything, and using their politics to justify their stealing habit. The former can be reasoned with. The latter is just using leftism as an excuse.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Preferring a theoretical instance of a person over a contrived (though admittedly occasionally real) example makes for a good soundbite, not necessarily a real option though.

Or more succinctly, a literal trump loving person who is also accepting is a unicorn with some serious cognitive dissonance.

A "radical" leftist who is also a shitty person is a real thing that can exist.

Comparisons between real things and imaginary things, aren't good comparisons.

Edit : where did "stealing habit" come from I can't find any reference anywhere else? Genuine question, I may have missed it.

[–] FantasmaNaCasca@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I guess he is talking about "handouts".

Norway taxes the oil industry in 78% so they can give "handouts" to their people....that miserable country of thieves...

Radical leftism made Norway one of the worst countries in the world to live in.

(/s.....because it's necessary.)

[–] Senal@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Ah, that tracks.

I'll wait and see if they reply, maybe it's something else.

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

Totally agree.

Fuck that fascist dickhead.

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago

Oh for sure.
