Everyone quitting Gmail for Proton should be aware that Proton also has an 'ai' tool called Lumo. Apparently it can be disabled, but for me that's still crossing the line.
At this point, I no longer trust any company that's using any kind of 'ai' horseshit anywhere. It'll be forced on you soon.

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.
This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.
