The greed and narcissism of modern consumerist society has given everyone a dog-eat-dog worldview where working together as a species to solve problems, and making minor sacrifices, is “communism”. Moral and ethical bankruptcy is “freedom”.

Why plant a tree for future generations when you believe it won’t survive the climate in 50 years, or it will be felled to generate value for shareholders?

“Fascist lives don’t matter”

And these cancerous parasites are doing it to everything possible, sucking the goodness and value out of the entire planet and life itself, because their greed is a terminal mental illness.

CEO made the exact same mistake most capitalist “Liberals” make, going all the way back to the Weimar republic and Hitler; believing what fascists say, are acting in good faith, and ignoring their actions; instead of being corrupt criminals and sociopaths who don’t care about the meaning of words.

My entire comment history is filled with criticism of capitalism, and I have a bunch of issues with proton, but this is just sad and not something I care about.

They are testing what price point is most attractive for NEW customers on a 24 month intro offer. Both of these offers revert to the standard price after 24 months.

Windscribe, as a 5 eyes based VPN, is not trustworthy, and posting “gotchas” like this makes them even more suspect. Proton is one of the only providers that offer a permanently free VPN. Windscribe has no free option.

Personally, I think a moral company would offer permanent discounts to long term customers, but there isn’t a single company on earth I’m aware of that actually does that.

Won’t be long until you are legally the ownership of evilcorp; a slave whose only purpose is to produce enough shareholder value to survive the next 24 hours.

I agree, but our state-capitalist oligarchies barely ever hold corporations liable for their intentional crimes. How are we gonna hold them liable for the unintentional ones?

That’s why I used AI and statistical modeling; not LLM’s?

Those people who rejected science could always eat shit and die, though.

They want to eat their cake, and have it to. Will capitalism benefit the capitalists like it does 99.99% of the time? You bet your sweet ass it will!

99.99% of the time, it works every time!

Make it make sense

A robber barron class of psychopaths are running the whole damn show!

You weren’t kidding. First review I bothered to read and it’s clearly the ramblings of a mentally ill fascist. If this is common they should remove reviews entirely, as crazies waging culture war will hinder adoption.

“Masterpiece of reality” lol

This is just one small step in the multi-decade implementation of mass surveillance.

“In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.”

“We’re already scanning all of your files for X. Why don’t we also scan them for all other crimes, A-Z?”

Statistical models and inference are mathematically guaranteed to have false positives and false negatives. False positives in this context mean entirely innocent people will be flagged and scrutinised, and have their private data shared, or potentially be investigated, when they have done nothing wrong at all. If fingerprints are one in a 1 million, and you have a database of a billion people, on average you’ll implicate ~1000 innocent people every time you run a print. That’s how you end up with millions of people on a watchlist. It’s criminally incompetent, at best.

We don’t live in East Germany. We’re supposed to be living in democracies where our governments act in our best interests, and our rights are not for sale.

They had this surveillance, on a far greater scale

This is a mentally-ill level of ignorance. The KGB or Gestapo couldn’t even dream of the surveillance state Western capitalism has already built. They didn’t have tracking devices and microphones in the pockets of most adults on Earth. They didn’t capture millions of data points about all of their daily lives. They didn’t have billion dollar economies structured around the capture and sale of that data. They didn’t have the ability to flag dissidents or resistance autonomously, in real-time based on statistical modeling, or the capability to execute everyone they flag as opposition with cheap fully-autonomous drones. This is called turnkey-totalitarianism. All the tools have already been built. The only thing a tyrant needs to do is turn the key.

Either educate yourself about the world or keep your ignorance to yourself. Your opinion is currently worthless.

Been meaning to try random Jellyfin plugins that sim tv channels.

The second one even does custom ads based on channel content. I would love a plugin that queries random retro ads off the internet. Like you’re watching Star Trek and get an ad for the SNES or Supersoaker when shows have scenes designed around commercials, or between episodes.

It’s almost like our institutions and political class across the developed world are acting on behalf of capital and not in the peoples best interests…

Maybe that’s why they all collude with surveillance capitalism to violate our civil rights wholesale, and expand the surveillance state…

These are not the actions of a government “for the people”. These are the actions of criminally corrupt tyrants and traitors who should spend the rest of their lives in prison. The fact that they won’t should tell you everything you need to know about our “democracies”.

This is so they can continue over investing in unproven technology.

The difference is that it was historically domestic capital pulling the strings and manipulating politics; unless you were being occupied by a foreign force (colonialism, etc). Foreign entities manipulating domestic politics and economics was generally considered an act of war.

Now we have multinationals wealthier than nation states, who have seized the means of democracy buy bribing our political classes, and not even domestic capitalists have any allegiance to their nation; just raw unmitigated greed, narcissism, and psychopathy in the name of profit and power. It’s a systemic mental illness.

That is not good advice. Most VPN companies are not security or privacy companies. In fact, most appear to be surveillance capitalism companies who should never be trusted, and are likely to be worse than no VPN at all.
