I’d only recommend Proton if a) you’re already paying for their suite or b) you’re not using Linux. Otherwise, Mullvad is the way to go IMO.

Oh that’s what that is. I just assumed it was Linux things happening. lol

Only reason to use proton is because you’re already paying for their email/drive/whatever.

Please stop releasing new products and finish the ones you’ve got. I’ve been waiting for feature parity on the Linux VPN client since like 5 product launches ago…

Mainly this, alongside a cost of living crisis not unique to Canada. Other concern is there is some animous towards immigrants as poor immigration policy is a part of why housing is where it is. Sadly, I’m not sure I’d feel welcome as an immigrant in Canada right now (perhaps more so for Indian/Pakistani immigrants, but still).

Avoid Canada, or at least Toronto/Vancouver. Country is not in a great state atm.

That’s weird - I’ve been playing for years with zero issues. The odd crash on startup. Only downside is I can’t log into my Xbox account.

Are your crashes random, or caused by anything specific?

IMO we’re pushing it pretty hard now, if they keep pumping out civs we’ll be 60 before you know it. I can barely keep track of all of them as it is. I feel like it’d hurt the semi-casual MP scene if we have to memorise bonuses of so many civs.

Idk how Freetube works but the recommendations are usually relevant to me and I don’t have a google acc

Privacy.com, but in other countries than the US

I’m actually an engineer at [company name]

Bro it’s petty revenge time. [Company name] needs to see these messages and asked if this is representative of their company values.

I use notesnook

Not sure what it says about the current state of gaming that so many of these games are quite old

We can teach them about how once-upon-a-time common sense copyright laws got perverted by the mouse so badly.

I’ve read a few articles about the rubber from tires being one of the worst aspects of car pollution

Nope

Honestly, sometimes my best answer is “none of your business”. Its none of Google’s business what my hobbies are. The fact that there’s no “harm” in it is irrelevant. I want to be left alone, I should be able to without an advanced knowledge of cyber security.

As a “absolutely few apps as possible” person, I would be long gone if there was a working alternative.

I found Element with SMS bridges came close, but was never as reliable as I need.

The whole Linux client in general is pretty embarrassing. If I wasn’t already paying for email (and therefore VPN) I’d likely be buying Mullvad.

I like it, been a paid user for 4ish years now. The only complaint is that the way they develop/release/update their products is all over the place. Everything is soon™, they release entirely new products (Proton Pass) while their existing ones lack extremely basic features, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to whatever roadmap they’re working off of. The long term goal is clearly to make an everything ecosystem, but I’m not sure I want all my eggs in one company’s basket, even if it is Proton.

The important thing is their privacy/security, which I fully trust, more than any other provider. But boy howdy am I still waiting on some real basic features in some of their apps.
