“middle school” is ironic given the post title
It wasn’t a deflective joke, although there is a definitely a joke within it. Some people are just obvious and pointless, so why bother.

“is ai” is very obviously a simplification, but is also the reality of where they have chosen to go.
The manner in which debian conducted their transition, says a great deal about them.
You were not going to give me the benefit of the doubt, don’t expect anyone who is genuine to believe otherwise. The subject of ai is mainly polar. the majority of people on lemmy are not experiencing their 1st day on the internet.

The wall is for the rest of the world, the usa had its chance to be decent and chose to be the exact opposite for many decades. Now even with something as revolting as trump, the people still show no sign at all of ever waking up and being decent.

Wondering why you are considering leaving ivpn?
They appear to be 1 of only 2 trustworthy vpns now that mullvad left the building
airvpn being the other

Never actually used them, but this is my note about them in my vpn spreadsheet
‘Pricey if doing per month, not if doing for year. Lack of transparency, shit website. Dodgy feel.’

I have used it in the last 10 years, seemed perfectly viable for the most part. Very easy too.
I had an issue last time I was using it where mine wouldn’t maintain connection, and I had to set up a ping script, never worked out why, but that had never been an issue previously.

I never suggested that the techlore site I posted had anything to do with windscribe, it was posted (as mentioned) due to it being one of very, very, very few sites about vpn’s that appear to be not completely full of shit
If you want a vpn owned by aiholes, windscribe and proton are 2 obvious choices.

Fascism is unfortunately on the rise again
Fascist countries include: israel, the usa, and australia, no doubt there are many more, fascism is also growing rapidly again in germany, as demonstrated in their 2025 federal election, and very recent state election.
A country does not stop being fascist just because you associate yourself with it

I have never seen anyone else link that. I link it because it is one of very few sites that appears to give any decent insight into vpns, plus spiders are hella cool :/
This is another one, but only when you “click on any row to compare up to 4 vpns” and it goes into detail
I interacted with windscribe as a customer, on reddit, and via their ai customer service a while ago. I won’t be going that way again.

I have no idea how that equates to you not being able to see lemmy links on lemmy, but the internet is daft due to being made by humans.
A search for mullvad on lemmy should bring up a couple of pertinent threads, otherwise these are their titles

Some Mullvad VPN customers tunnel for exit after co-founder donates millions to populist party

I don’t like that he made this donation’ — Mullvad CEO reacts to co-founder’s donation to controversial Swedish populist party
Lots of comments there, an ‘interesting’ look into human psychology as much as anything
One of the biggest issues for me was that the company did not react in a way that suggests they really give a shit.

There was some weird arse package in it ‘npm’ that failed while trying to install ivpn, looking it up at the time said it was suspect (maybe true or not)
End of the day they did not have servers where I needed them (a southern hemisphere problem)
They were very quick to reply and appeared genuine with their customer supportthough.

I assumed the concern was if they check your phone
International media has been reporting for the last year or so that the usa can now just take your phone and demand access to all of your social media etc.

I’m not in the US, but I assume graphene is seen as communist witchcraft over there. Lineageos is probably much more lowkey. A googled phone would not raise any eyebrows at all.
I hate google, but if you are worried about it, a googled 2nd phone with a new sim/number and a new google account wouldn’t be the end of the world, especially since that set up could be temporary, tons of phones can be lineageos (my 2023 motorola g84, and 2018 sony xperia xz2 for example)

I really want people to tell me about other options, neither airvpn or ivpn seem awesome for the southern hemisphere and linux, for the majority of users they look like the best choices though. It is a dodgy industry.
Looking up vpns is a pain in the butt due to how manipulated 99% of sites about them are, plus the usual fan blah blah

proton are an ai company, and an email provider. do the math there.
I had a 2 year subscription with them, using their vpn and email. I stopped using them after approx 6 months of product use, customer support, and paying attention to their social media manipulation, and repeated lack of attention to product quality. Throwing away the other 18 months of subscription.
They are a very dodgy company, trying to be the next google, which is ironic considering how many canadian patriots are now heading there due to trump/google.
Their brand is very popular with their zombie fans who struggle to think, but are very quick with upvotes, and downvotes.

airvpn can fix their software if they want my money.
mullvad has good software and the browser extension, which together makes a very usable system. Unfortunately they completely failed ethically.
It shouldn’t be too much to ask for decent software and ethics.

Last I looked the eddie app didn’t even have split tunneling?
people on their reddit frequently recommend against using eddie too
Been there, left that, they have no redeeming qualities.
