Most people are not yet materially desperate enough to risk going to prison and ruining their lives.

What do either of those shows have to do with the comment you’re replying to?

Yeah, it seems easily fixed. Also, instantly recallable delegates are a feature of anarchist systems, which representative democracy should learn from.

For the record, circumcision on children (without a medical necessity) should absolutely be illegal.

Hmm, yeah, everything you’re saying sounds totally plausible. I guess I just haven’t noticed any of these problems directly affecting my user experience yet, certainly not enough to consider attempting to migrate away from Linux.

Have you tried airvpn? I haven’t yet, but I’ve seen it recommended and it supports port forwarding.

Any reason not to use ivpn or airvpn? ivpn in particular seemed very privacy-focused with a pricing structure similar to mullvad when I looked at their website.

One of the owners made a huge donation to a right-wing, anti-immigration Swedish political party, I believe. Someone feel free to correct me on the details.

I’ve been looking at both ivpn and airvpn as potential replacements.

FWIW, I’m looking at ivpn as a potential replacement for mullvad. Haven’t done thorough research on the company yet but I’m impressed by their website.

Airvpn also seems good, but the people running it are much more anonymous so it feels more difficult (for me) to trust them. But if they’re really privacy activists then it’s understandable.

Do you have more info on how the company is structured? Everything I can find on their site just says it’s “employee-owned”, but I don’t know what that means.

Genuine question, what negative effects are corps having on the Linux ecosystem? I’ve also been daily driving Linux for over a decade and it honestly feels pretty similar now to how it did 10 years ago.

Just quickly skimming the article you linked, I’m not seeing evidence that wikipedia is “shit”, just that there have been many attempts by governments and other powerful people to influence its content, which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone given how popular it is. Are there examples you could point to of those attempts being successful? (Including particular examples you want to highlight in that article; again I only skimmed it on a small screen.)

It also seems strange to link to a wikipedia article to support the claim that wikipedia is shit.
