You didn’t say, “They are the shittiest privacy company ever.”

You said, “They are the shittiest company ever.”

If you want to specify a subset, use your words. That’s what they’re there for.

Didn’t they just switch to a nonprofit format, though?

Except they don’t support Port forwarding, which is kind of necessary if you torrent a lot and have shit upload speeds like me. Gotta squeeze out as much juice as I can get…

Fucking YES. Good God it’s like at this point just STOP. Take a BREATH. And focus on what you have. They need to stop spreading themselves so thin.

They are the shittiest company ever.

You are allowed to hate Proton, but don’t be hyperbolic about it. There are far worse companies, just a few of which are Nestlé, Del Monte, and Chiquita (formerly the United Food Company), all of which have committed genocide in the pursuit of their profit.

The last time I checked, Proton has never committed genocide to further their goals.

No, seriously, when I say I can’t afford it, I mean I really can’t afford it. Like, seriously, my “Fun” budget for each month? 15 dollars. Lol. I’m brooooooooke as fuck, bruh.

You’re right. Whoops. Haha. Thanks, I fixed it.

Aside from the reasons stated by other people in this thread, purely destroying something isn’t really Microsoft’s MO. Theirs is Extend, Embrace, Extinguish Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

You get raises?!

I would love to buy an AMD, but I can’t afford it, so I’m stuck with the Nvidia I have.

It. blows.

AFAIK Proton is the only one, or at least one of the very few, in the market that supports Port Forwarding. Mullvad got rid of theirs, which frankly sucks because although my experience has been (mostly) great, I’ve also heard great things about Mullvad, and it’s best (and nice) to have competitive alternatives to choose from.

Oh gods yes.

I get so many bills that are dirty, but also you don’t wanna know all the germs that are on a lot of those bills. Another thing I learned from years of working in retail is that people are also disgusting as all hell. Many people don’t bother washing their hands after going to the bathroom, or they’ll hand you nasty sweaty bills they pulled out of their pocket after walking into a store or up to a fuel kiosk during a >80 °F (26 °C) day, or after working a shift in construction or a factory job or even simply just exercising. Some women will pull cash directly out from under their bra, as if I want to accept sweaty boob money. Yes, they could use a wallet. However, many people don’t. Rather, they just shove the cash directly into their pocket or bra and be done with it. Because fuck cashiers, I guess.

Not to mention that the majority of bills out there have at least some trace amount of cocaine or other drugs covering it, though you may not be able to see it.

So, in short, sorry for the ramble but, yes, people are absolutely disgusting and so is their cash.

Retail. has. fucking. ruined me.

/rant lol

Thanks. :)

You get an upvote for the tasteful interrobang, friend. 👍

Not sure if you’re serious just forgot a /s but in case the former I just would like to point out that many people—me being one of them—would absolutely love a second monitor but can’t afford it. Hell, I can’t afford a first monitor. The only reason I have one is because I bought it back when I had a job that actually paid me a living wage. If it broke down now, I would have issues.

Agreed. While I agree with the privacy and security arguments against cashless payment methods, I’m still for them for the simple fact that as someone who works as a cashier for a living (or some semblance of one anyway), I’m more aware than the average public of just how DISGUSTING cash actually is.

My card is embossed. Then again it’s also from a community credit union in southeast Michigan. Lol.

I did not realize there were other forks besides Graphene and LineageOS.

In any case, thanks for the info. I guess I’ll have to shop around.

Really? That’s awesome! I think I’ll check it out. :)

Edit: …Seriously? They only support Pixel devices? Wow. Fuck this.

I’ve looked at the bomb simulator linked above

I’m not seeing a link. Did it get deleted?
