  • Workers say the lead and creators were dicks, tough to work with. Investor and largest shareholder bought out a majority share, is now currently fighting to keep the IP and excise the lead/creators under the guise that they weren’t good for company culture.

    My personal view, disregard it if you want to make your own judgements, it doesn’t matter if the guy is a dick, this is what they created. Saying it’s what was best for the company seemingly only seems to be best for one guy. You don’t get to use being a piece of shit to work with, even if 100% true, as a reason to conspire against and force everyone out of the company. You open clear cut dialogue and boundaries, then make compromises. This youtuber’s video that goes into much more depth and eloquently explains my position.
















  • This is my personal takeaway as well. The article seems to insinuate that because VPNs by themselves don’t do anything meaningful for privacy, they’re useless. It seems defeatist, since one could take measures to mitigate fingerprinting. But like you said they’re only one of the important parts of maintaining privacy.

    I am not more technically proficient than the average user. I have little experience in hosting anything, let alone hosting something that will tunnel all of my internet usage. I’d rather put my faith in my current provider to take the proper precautions and put more effort into things I feel comfortable with. It seems better to me than trusting an unknown VPS provider, my own skill and/or my awful ISP.
