its the speed of the change innit. for example, the fact that google power requirements has increase 50% in the last year must have a tremendous impact.

sounds like a frog in a saucepan.. sure is getting warmer!

not trying to be combative, but this grumpy response over a 5min read does illustrate something and i hope its trolling tbh. the tldr summary that is triggering here is kinda a key point of the article - people looking for a quick interaction and then moving on.

its the point where people say "but a sneaky vpn will get around so we may as well do nothing" is equivalent to "my friend can buy me a sneaky drink so we may as well do nothing"... just because you can exploit a law doesn't make it invalid. enforcement concerns are valid, but it seems reasonable to start with "i agree there is a problem" and go for the 80% rule

technology related muscle memory? once people learn a thing, its hard to convince them to relearn something new ... especially when you "are just doing the same thing anyway".

ah, i get it. thanks. i was thinking that the insurance mentioned would be part of what the government is providing, not a for-profit bizness. essentially what you are suggesting also :)

im genuinely trying to understand your concern.. is it as simple as that you dont want to contribute your money to a greater good?

nope nope nope.

i hear you, though being more open with hardware is more difficult because compat issues are real. the company does appear to be doing alright tho?

i've heard they like money?!!!

agree. i find the dns resolver in particular a dumpster fire of shitfuckery. name resolution was shitty, but a solution based on wrapper is just ugh.

good commentary, covered a lot of ground - appreciate the effort to write it up :)
