I’d only recommend Proton if a) you’re already paying for their suite or b) you’re not using Linux. Otherwise, Mullvad is the way to go IMO.

Credit cards

Just a slimy middleman taking a cut of every transaction and trapping people in debt. But a bit of a tragedy of the commons because merchants raise prices to accommodate CC fees and the rewards are hard to pass up.

I’m actually an engineer at [company name]

Bro it’s petty revenge time. [Company name] needs to see these messages and asked if this is representative of their company values.

I was referring to Brian Sinclair, which was ages ago now, so tbf that is out of date. Hopefully some policy changes have been made since then.

Still using “at least we’re not the USA!” to excuse a dumpster fire of a healthcare system, as we have been for years.

It is important to note that there isn’t a “Canadian” healthcare system, per se. It is largely a provincial jurisdiction. So while Manitoba sees outrageous wait times, hallway medicine, nurse shortages, and people dying in ER waiting rooms because they don’t have a GP, I can’t speak for every province in the country.

Anecdotally, my experience is… OK. I’m lucky to have a family doctor that I’ve had since childhood. That said, I’ve moved multiple times since then, and I haven’t been able to find a doctor in any of my new communities, so if I ever need to see a GP, its an hour drive back to my hometown.

Use a service like simplelogin for emails. Worth every penny.

If they require a name: either Santa Claus or Whatsit Tooya (what kind of ridiculous name is that?)

Fuck 'em, never give them a thing. My favourite thing is when I get to give info like this to a real live person, we always get to share a giggle.

I hope the 16 has a headphone jack so that “everyone should steal this revolutionary new feature from apple” as well.

I’ll be the musician - it seemed to go OK for Shostakovich

Unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is pretty sour, and bootlicker gas… tastes pretty good!

“Plunging”? I call BS, isn’t lava way too thick for that?

He was my favourite ghostbuster

I use notesnook

Honestly, sometimes my best answer is “none of your business”. Its none of Google’s business what my hobbies are. The fact that there’s no “harm” in it is irrelevant. I want to be left alone, I should be able to without an advanced knowledge of cyber security.

I like it, been a paid user for 4ish years now. The only complaint is that the way they develop/release/update their products is all over the place. Everything is soon™, they release entirely new products (Proton Pass) while their existing ones lack extremely basic features, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to whatever roadmap they’re working off of. The long term goal is clearly to make an everything ecosystem, but I’m not sure I want all my eggs in one company’s basket, even if it is Proton.

The important thing is their privacy/security, which I fully trust, more than any other provider. But boy howdy am I still waiting on some real basic features in some of their apps.

The great Canadian-Dutch war. 4 people were injured and Kevin’s mom made pizza pops for everyone after.
