You can host in the cloud, if you want.

If you're skeptical about Proton because they're just another corporation—a fair reason to be skeptical, IMO

Maybe you missed this?

To achieve this goal, I, as Proton’s founder, joined together by Jason Stockman (Proton’s co-founder) and Dingchao Lu (Proton’s first employee), have jointly endowed the non-profit Proton Foundation through a donation of Proton shares. These transfers and commitments from the foundation founders make the Proton Foundation the primary shareholder of Proton and make irrevocable our wish that Proton remains in perpetuity an organization that places people ahead of profits.

Dude, half of my country has been ruled by elected socialist for 70 years now. Socialists have been part of the federal government since the 2nd World War and in their prime they formed a purple government together with the liberals.

Our most liberal party is struggling to get enough votes to participate in tge elections. What you're on about?

Sure. But, the Polish people seem to be happy with a far right representation.

I really don't care about left or right. I've been working with politicians the last 15 years and I've met socialist people on the far right and extremely liberal people on the left. The boring centrist seem to get it right more often but they don't get elected.

Democracy is a compromise. The irony is that by representing everybody partially you'll never represent anyone fully.

The number of parties influences the percentual result.

You could say that in a 51/49 outcome 49% of the people isn't represented but it's still democratic.

I'm Belgian. We hold the world record in government foundations. I know how small percentages work and am pretty sure it's democracy at work.

Do I like it? Not really, but it still democracy.

Actually, in a multi party system, it is. If you only have two, or one political flavour you'll get different results.

You're OK? Mind you that I'm from the EU and a daily bike commuter. I ride 25 km to work, every single day, and am very sensitive to the bike/car discourse. I really don't see the issue so please explain without getting rude.
