I mean I believe you, but thoughts on this comment: reddit

Proton monitors employees' AI code generation"

This is also a distortion. Proton has a tool that labels which code is AI-generated and which is human-written, which is important for many reasons. It can't be used to evaluate how much AI somebody is using. The design document for the tool states this clearly. This document is available to all employees: r/ProtonMail - I’m a Proton employee and I'm breaking my silence The security point

The list goes on and on. Same with the security point. I have access to that chat. Andy never said don't do pen testing. It's true, he used shitty language and he personally apologized to the whole company. However in that same security chat he also said something 404 omitted: "The baseline is, we must do this plus be faster at the same time" in reference to security testing. r/ProtonMail - I’m a Proton employee and I'm breaking my silence

He agreed with the additional pen testing, and it was even recently implemented at Proton. What he didn't agree to was it slowing down the pipeline. About hiring engineers

This quote “this is the last year that we hire engineers” is also out of context. At Proton, the engineering and product management roles are merging and we call this new discipline "Product Engineering". Proton also mostly hires product managers with engineering backgrounds. It means we stop hiring engineers who just code, and hire instead product engineers who also exercise product judgment that AI doesn’t have, not that we don’t hire engineers at all. I know this because I help with hiring for the whole company. One last thing

I want to put a few words out there that aren't about quotes or screenshots, but about my experience.

To be honest to you, we're all in a bit of a shock after reading the articles written, and some of the criticism hurts me because it described a company I don't recognize. Reading the comments on Reddit hurts me because so many of them do not reflect reality. Proton is not rushing into AI without concern for safety, it is actually being done very carefully.

If you're deciding whether to keep using Proton, I'd just ask that you make that decision after getting the full picture, and not solely on the quotes that have been intentionally taken out of context. Otherwise, you are only hurting the workers that you claim to want to protect.

    I mean that's okay. I do hope you give it a try though. You never know, you might enjoy it. If you are now a woman, try it. You might envoy it. But if not, or not willing to try, that's okay. Enjoy life —which light include dressing up. Today I saw an older adult giving out candy in a Buggy, and was like that's awesome—nice.

    I have a VPS with limited resources. So, I decided to use telegraf with sqlite3. As that seems less resource intensive. I'm having trouble with what seems like permissions. This is under Debian system version 12.

    When I run telegraf with root permission (sudo), it runs fine. However, when I run via systemclt -- using sudo to start -- it fails to write to the database.

    It's a sqlite3 database. I've given read and write permission to the file. I've given ownership of the file to telegraf. Telegraf is both a user and a group. Yet, I see same error message, database is readonly. What am I missing?
