Privacy and anonymity are two different things. Proton doesn’t market themselves as anonymous, they market as a privacy service, as you said. And as for the info given to gov’ts, they were legally required to do so. No company, including Mullvad, will break the law for you. Mullvad/IVPN/AirVPN, etc, will all abide by law and give up info if required.

I recently watched Iron Lung (2026) and really enjoyed it. Certainlynot the best of single set movies but I thought it was pretty well done.

I’d imagine that will be the first thing to be torn down if the US ever gets their govt back. There’s no way of knowing how many listening devices/spyware has been built into that thing.

Is it though? Seems to me it’s more or less just don’t be a dick, don’t judge, and treat others how you want to be treated. Aside from the magic, JC seems like a pretty average bar to aspire to.

Was gonna mention this. Cuts about half of each film into one 4 hour film, and is incredibly well done imo. I watch it a few times a year, if it didn’t exist I don’t think I would have rewatched the trilogy at all.

I created a new account a year ago to lurk instead of comment, but you’re right, participation = growth. I’ll be joining in again.
