While [Proton] CEO Andy Yen's recent public statements have raised my hackles more than a little, Proton remains structurally committed to privacy, encryption, and user control, ensuring its ecosystem stays independent of political shifts.

That’s a pretty weak definition of “Trump-proof”.

It's Trump-proofish

• I approve of Matrix and Nextcloud.
• Proton unfortunately is probably the easiest option for now. We need better self hosted / anonymous email servers, but spammers have probably ruined that for everbody forever and fuck them all to hell for that.
• All the alternative social media is better, but they can still absolutely feed the lot of it into an LLM and then ask the LLM to print out a list of "likely dissidents." I would be shocked if this isn't coming soon to a United States near you - then again, I'm one to talk posting this on Lemmy, using a username I've used for over a decade from an instance that runs on a server I rent from a corporate cloud host.
• OS should be Whonix, Tails or Qubes.
• Browser should Tor Browser (or at least Brave, yes the company sucks, but the browser consistently scores top marks on real world privacy tests).
• No mention of FDE or post quantum crypto. Quantum chips are coming effing fast, if they're not already here. I have reason to believe both the US and China can currently make practical use of Shor's algorithm, although only in a targeted and VERY expensive way... but Moore's Law man, plus I can't prove it and I can't say more. Post quantum doesn't seem to be on most people's radar (most troubleshooting, the Tor project).
