  • I’ve never tried Mulvad, but Proton, while it has LOTS of exit nodes, which is good for avoiding blocks, is quite bad at any individual node remaining up and recovering automatically on an outage. If your use case is actively connecting for watching youtube or netflix or whatever in another country on a laptop that’s mostly off or not VPNed and you don’t care, that’s great, but if you want to VPN for bittorrent or another always connected purpose from a server or VPS…



  • Not with their private persona… I am saying they should maintain a normie persona that is spied on and use that for having a public persona for professional purposes that is completely separated via a separate device/duapboot from a private persona they primarily use and observe best practices with



  • If you want/need to have a prominent public professional presence, and you probably do at least during the current bout of “we don’t need western born devs anymore” the industry is going through, you probably need to bifurcate a patsy persona that plays by the invasive corporate internet rules for public observation and a private persona that is private and does not and just never mix the streams (two phones, dualboot, etc)


  • I’d argue it has more to do with the DNC twice running a geriatric genocidal monster completely controlled by an evil foreign state with no interest in actually governing domestically sans a real primary process. Once your argument is “I’m the lesser evil!” while committing genocide as everyone’s standard of living declines, you can’t blame people for giving ANY alternative a try.


  • I think the main advantage is that if a state actor wants to Pegasus you, they can always get into a normal iOS/Android device until the next reboot. It’s not feasible, even with the resources of the Israeli state that Pegasus can support ALL models of random dumbphone that has ever existed, so there is a fair chance that while the security may not be modern on an old Nokia, they would need to burn 1000 development hours to deploy bugging malware into it that already “just works” with iOS and Android.
