Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't . So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

geophysicist,

Proton VPN I found not good for streaming sites. Considering the forum we are on, I doubt that is a primary requirement here but it was unstable and regularly detected by the streaming sites. The stream kept getting buffering issues and the only way to fix it was a series of restarting and refreshing different things and trying different servers. Support just pushes you through a flowchart of settings questions when really their service should just work properly

It was a pretty disappointing experience considering I actually forked out money for it (not the free tier)

Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS

I’m unable to pair my Wacom tablet to my notebook via BT. I think I know the root cause of the issue which is the version of Bluez being 5.64 and the behavior of the issue is the same as I had on Fedora on my main PC few months back when I’ve tried to pair PS5 Dual Sense controller....

geophysicist,

Where are all the people who claim to never ever have had an issue with audio or Bluetooth on Linux and how it’s worse on windows?

geophysicist,

Move to industry!

geophysicist,

This is the one

geophysicist,

Also, the ideology I agree with but I swear these “memes” are made by the deranged. It’s the kind of handwritten scrawl you expect to see taped to lampposts by the guy who wanders around with empty tincans cellotaped to his patchwork hat

geophysicist,

Nope, what’s your point?

geophysicist,

Bit sensitive? That charity wasn’t what they were saying

geophysicist,

Painting the baby’s room for when it arrives, not my usual kind of project but it’s going well!

geophysicist,

I think it’s lead based fruit drink pouches for children nowadays actually

geophysicist,

Yeah this is fucked up

geophysicist,

I interpreted “middle of the road” as doing nothing special, just normal tasks done a normal way and therefore hoping everything just works so you can focus on work

geophysicist,

This is why I got a MacBook (unpopular opinion here)

geophysicist,

Why would you need a warning? It’s not a race. In fact, that’s probably part of the reasoning of not having a yellow before changing to green

geophysicist,

Yes. That’s what happens in most countries

geophysicist,

Controversial opinion: unless your university studies and work is in OS development, then you should go for Windows or Mac. You won’t have energy or time to keep fixing your laptop OS when an update breaks the Bluetooth driver or whatever when you have a class to attend and assignments to do

geophysicist,

This was excellent!
