Accountability, motherfucker! Accountability means hearings, investigations, and prosecutions.

Do popular, affordability-focused legislation as well, but accountability is part of what America told you to get on yesterday.

    Took half a billion dollars and just lit that shit on fire. Got worse than nothing for it: his folks lost pretty much all the ground.

    He's a toxic fool. He's gotta get cut down to size: nationalize SpaceX, Starlink, and prosecute him for Doge.

    Certainly hoping the child-raping centaurs aren't running my email server... but I think there's a little more here than blissful ignorance. I think it matters that, even if my new mail CEO is as bad as Yen, he hopefully sees that he'll be punished if he acts like Yen. Because I'm not the only one that has left Proton: I think Yen is really going to feel the heat. Hopefully that deflates the egos of other techbro overlords...

    Yeah, I canceled my sub. I have no idea if the CEO of my new email provider is any better, but I know that Yen is abusive to his employees, and that matters to me. I know he's deep in the throes of AI psychosis, and that makes me not trust him at all. I'm gone.

    The real tell here is when Yen berated an engineer who voiced concerns about security, saying "stop finding ways to be slow, start finding ways to be faster". He's a C-suite baby who wants what he wants RIGHT NOW!

    When the suits start acting like engineers who care about best practices are being obstacles instead of valuable stewards of quality, you know you're dealing with losers who can't be trusted to not run things into the ground. Any walking back that Yen does now, you know he's just biding his time to ride out the kerfuffle, and he's just going to low-key abuse his employees at a slightly slower pace, but he's going to get what he wants.

    Canceled my sub, moved my mail.
