Especially with switching.software, many alternatives are FOSS (and are labelled as such in their descriptions). I'll edit the post text to highlight that.

But I also figured people in this community would be keen to know about other non-US alternatives that don't yet have good FOSS counterparts.

From a practical standpoint, the country that hosts many digital services is undergoing rapid political change. For awareness of non-US alternatives, check out:

https://switching.software/ <- seems to be more FOSS focused

You know, if the mainstream news spent this amount of oxygen explaining that it can be downloaded in various sizes and run securely, the whole world would be in a much better situation.

I am not saying that China don't do some of the things they are accused of, but the amount of anti-China fear in Western nations is only hurting ourselves.

Calling on everyone else in the West and the global economy: keep your eyes open for opportunities to support the Canadian and Mexican people.

They are standing up to this corruption and fighting it where it stands. This is going to hit them hardest first, and they deserve our support.

Remember there have been worse times and you are descended mostly from people who survived them.

I love this

Yeah totally agree. He has proven to be one of the slimiest people on the scene. I mean, he is pretty much throwing his colleagues under the bus in this statement too lol

OpenAI was started to be as open as possible, and to prevent the kinds of capitalism-driven Closed-AI development that they have now themselves become.

My personal opinion is that closed AI systems are only good if the owners are trustworthy. And in the long-run, no single owner can be trusted. There are risks with letting everyone copy and customize AI, however the worse danger is that the power gets too centralized with one single company.

Open-Source in AI usually posted to HuggingFace instead of GitHub: https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1

Yeah it's a fair call, but to me it is the very context of why people are made at Proton that makes me suspicious of articles like this.

I can't find the original summary post someone made, but here's the last response from Proton CEO. Read the comments as well to get a good summary: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i2nz9v/on_politics_and_proton_a_message_from_andy/

TL;DR: Proton used their official accounts to share CEO's pro-US-Republican thoughts as their official stance. They since apologized and said they would use personal account to share those thoughts. But (IMO) now having posted this blog on the actual Proton website, it says to me that there are some serious bias alignment issues with a company that is supposed to be a safe-haven away from all of that.

$271,285 raised of $10,000 goal. That's some pretty good odds of success

Calls it "Deepsneak", failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.

I can't speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.
