  • For me, no. I used it for several years but their linux support is not good enough for me. The linux vpn client depends on networkmanager, but I use iwd, so I was sol (loading wireguard profiles is not a good enough solution, too much of a hastle). They also don’t support ipv6 for vpn. Their linux email client doesn’t exist, and on android their app depends on google play services and they refuse to put a degoogled version on fdroid or host their own fdroid repo.

    i switched to mullvad for vpn (linux app works great, they have ipv6, and since I don’t use vpn that often I save money on the months I don’t use it) and tuta for email (they have a decent email app on linux and android, works great without google play services and is on fdroid, and their servers use green energy)

    for pass, I’ve used keepass with syncthing and keepassxc on linux and keepassdx on android so proton pass wasn’t a bonus for me anyways






  • Neither of those are axioms I hold. The axiom “all sentient beings are morally relevant” does not specify how to go from there, and I am not convinced that any one ethical framework is “the one”. There are some things that all the ones I’m aware of converge on with a sentientist perspective, but there are weird cases as well like whether to euthanize stray animals where they don’t converge



  • i think I do understand them, I’ve thought about that problem before. Can you go into more detail on what you mean by internally inconsistent? By my understanding, situations in the world can come about where values need to be weighed, or there are only bad choices available, but that doesn’t mean those values should be discarded or replaced or that they shouldn’t be shared/spread.




  • Once you go to a deep enough layer I think you’re right. But, the one subjective thing my argument rests on is that you care about your own experience. Anyone who flinches away from touching a hot stove because it hurts cares about their experience at least a little. The next step is recognizing that from an objective view, there’s no reason to think your subjective experience is any more important than anyone elses (subjectively there is).


  • I don’t claim to 100% live in an ideal way. I try to keep improving but I don’t think I’ll ever be perfect

    i think in cases where consent is difficult or impossible to achieve, we should act in the best interest of the experiencer in question. But I think that example is a tough one, at first glance I think we shouldn’t sterilize them, but then when I consider what will almost certainly happen if they’re not sterilized I think it’s probably worth doing the one bad thing to prevent worse things from happening. It’s an example where I think a utilitarian approach makes the most sense, since the variables are relatively clear
