andy88, if he cares about proton, should have resigned yesterday
Isn't 88 neo-Nazi code for "heil Hitler"? And isn't putting it in binary to disguise it evidence that he knows full well what it means?
As much as I'm not terribly fond of the guy, IIRC he's 36, which makes '88' likely short for 1988, the year he was born.
8 is also a lucky number in Chinese culture. I've seen a lot of "88"s in Chinese social media just because of that.
It always sucks when shitbags co-opt innocent symbols and language.
