What a coincidence! I’m the fediverse dude!

Good call. The greenest purchase you can make is fixing the thing you already own.

You can’t put terms of service on a web page and bind people to it. Otherwise I could put up a site somewhere and say everyone who reads this owes me a dollar.

The terms are only enforceable when they are presented to the user before they use the software. My copy of Librewolf doesn’t present any terms to me so I am not bound by anything other than the redistribution license.

IANAL but all this is pretty common sense. You can’t add terms by posting them where the user wouldn’t see them. And Librewolf explains very clearly that it is not Firefox and is not a Mozilla product.

Reminds me of the Rule of Goats:

If you fuck a goat ironically, you’re still fucking a goat. Same goes with ironic Hitler salutes.

Yes, by law. Of course the business will abide by federal law before state law because federal law is supreme.

It’s a VPN within a VPN. So all your traffic over the Mullvad VPN connection has a VPN within it going to Proton (but only for Firefox).

To answer the questions directly:

1. Yes, but not exactly. Everything goes through Mullvad, but Firefox goes through Proton going through Mullvad.
2. No, they’ll just see the Proton information.
3. It slows down your connection! That’s a lot more extra hops. Practically…I suppose if the “inner VPN” was necessary to connect to a specific host (like a work VPN) then it could be useful. For example you use Mullvad on your router, but your work laptop uses a VPN to connect to resources needed to do your work. Other than that I can’t see why you’d need to use 2 at the same time.

Not sure if you’re asking for advice, but if appeals to reason doesn’t work “I’m your fucking parent and you’re going to do it or you’re grounded until you do” should work nicely.

Not the OP, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I do think it’s a little odd given that the security is at the client and not in the protocol. As others have mentioned already, if you use skyview.social, you can see the posts anyway.

I literally yell “fuck you” at my alarm from time to time.

Yes, but no one can get fabulously rich off this.

“I have to see a man about a horse.”

It means you’re going to the bathroom.

It doesn’t. Might have been New Brunswick. Or I just made it up somehow. I can’t remember where I saw it.

My understanding is that some province is charging double on US commercial trucks that cross the border. Nova Scotia?

Pfft. I have trazodone.

It’s a great idea, I agree. But people have to realize that a good 40% of the country thinks that holding undocumented immigrants in a military prison indefinitely is hella balls-to-the-fucking-wall awesome. These people are not interested in striking and most of the 60% left over are worried they’ll get fired tomorrow if they don’t show up to work.

I invite you to imagine a state or local prosecutor indicting a member of the armed forces for carrying out an order given by a superior.

It’s mostly because “fuck you, I do what I want.”

Yeah it was hilarious when Intel did it.

The sentiment is appreciated, but this is fake. It’s taken from when Intel’s price tanked and they put out that Tweet.
