What source do you need? It's almost literally the mission statement of Electron.

A bit of perspective: During the prohibition in the USA, both cocaine and heroin were sold legally over the counter.

Most illegal drugs today are perfectly legal when a pharmaceutical company produces it and you are purchasing it through channels where the elite gets paid.

It's what you deploy to your users if you want to work around ad blockers and browser extensions. It's a great tool to get operating system level access to exfiltrate information about your users and identify them uniquely, even if they would prefer that not to happen.

All that with the help of Google's telemetry engine aka Chrome, which further helps Alphabet to manifest their interpretation of web standards in the world.

We worked to move things onto the web. Now people bring the web back to your desktop with every application bringing it's own browser shell. We have come full circle and we're now using 10x the resources.

Electron is the prime example of everything that is wrong in IT.

Baby steps that take Proton from a great service to a toy for the masses in the effort to increase revenue. AI features are next

Great. Now tell us about your flights on Epstein's plane.

In a game, you're the protagonist. In a movie, someone else is. Two different experiences.

It's going to be a continuation of their previous products. It's just greenwashing through and through. Their update guarantees are worthless, because they don't invest in fixing any of their annoying bugs. I have a FP4 and Android Auto is still broken as fuck. Within the 2 years I had it, they didn't release a single fix in that area.

The fingerprint sensor is a piece of garbage that fails constantly and gets stuck in "clean sensor" faults until you reboot the phone. Also not fixed in its entire life time so far.

It's great that you can replace parts, but even with all parts new it's a garbage phone. Maybe they can't even fix these things, because they used inferior hardware where they don't even have control over the problematic behavior.

They continue to release new garbage to the market and they really do not give a single fuck about the quality of the products they already released to market. They just don't have any good products. Sure there are people who claim "it works for me", but the bugs are real and so is the poor customer care of this company. Stay away as far as possible. You're being scammed.

No. The product sucks

I understand that the meaning is apparently well defined, but there is room for interpretation. I'm not aware of anyone ever challenging legitimate use reasoning, so I'm not sure how that plays out in the end.

Actually, you're absolutely correct IMO. In GDPR cookie law "legitimate interest" may refer to your interest in keeping your company afloat, aka make money.
