HBO Max comes with my ISP’s fiber plan, and I like that they get 4K releases relatively quick out of theater from certain studios. If they ever fuck with the pricing or bundle I’m on though, I’m outta there.

After joining TL, I really only use it and Nyaa for torrents, and Soulseek for music.

The "why"is just that there’s rarely anything I can’t find on TL.

It’s not like a ton of people have compatible hardware anyway. It’ll eventually become more common as more uploaders can encode and downloaders can decode.

“Better” or “you get what you pay for” aside, the owner of PIA is patently sketchy.

I moved off PIA after they were bought by a former ad-ware distributor, and I’ve been on Proton VPN since.

They do currently have a Linux GUI, though it’s extensively lacking compared to the Windows client, and the CLI / DIY methods for using their service is much more flushed out.

That’s not to say it’s a bad client, it’s just very much not what they advertise feature-wise. The speeds and server-availability are all great, and these days it’s all bundled into a “Proton Account” that gives you VPN, Email, and Cloud Storage based on your tier.
