    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.

    Only reason to use proton is because you're already paying for their email/drive/whatever.

    Please stop releasing new products and finish the ones you've got. I've been waiting for feature parity on the Linux VPN client since like 5 product launches ago...

    MPI is notoriously bad for this sort of thing. All you can really do is stay on their case. I called them daily for over a month once before they finally got sick of me and did something.

    Say what you will about private insurance, at least this sort of thing is handled better.

    My 2¢: My Razer V3 Pro (wireless) has very good RGB support on Linux compared to other brands. My volume knob never worked correctly and it is apparently a common issue. Spraying some electronics cleaner in there now and then can fix it, but it randomly changes volume levels and barely responds when actually rotated. A few keys also have sporadic issues with double inputs. Overall, can't recommend.

    I'm not a Razer hater, I've used their mice for years without issue; but this keyboard I would not replace with another Razer.

    Interac AFAIK used to be a nonprofit, but few years back became a for profit corporation. While I'm happy for the option, I'd stick with paper/metal where possible if CCs weren't a thing.

    Credit cards are the issue for me. An unnecessary third party skimming money (not to mention data) out of every transaction we make.

    I can't NOT use them though, since the cash back can be too good to pass up. If credit cards were regulated into irrelevance I'd be almost 100% on cash.

    Mainly this, alongside a cost of living crisis not unique to Canada. Other concern is there is some animous towards immigrants as poor immigration policy is a part of why housing is where it is. Sadly, I'm not sure I'd feel welcome as an immigrant in Canada right now (perhaps more so for Indian/Pakistani immigrants, but still).

    That's weird - I've been playing for years with zero issues. The odd crash on startup. Only downside is I can't log into my Xbox account.

    Are your crashes random, or caused by anything specific?

    Fair enough, although I still think the timeframe is some classic Proton soon™ copium. The community CLI app currently supports it.

    That said, I might expect the official app to have higher standards for security. And, the community version cannot handle split tunneling and kill switch at once, you have to pick one or the other.

    I'm confused, I thought it already had this? I've been using it for months. What is new here?

    Glad to hear that things are still happening to the Linux app anyway. Slowly but surely we'll catch up to feature parity (split tunneling when?).

    IMO we're pushing it pretty hard now, if they keep pumping out civs we'll be 60 before you know it. I can barely keep track of all of them as it is. I feel like it'd hurt the semi-casual MP scene if we have to memorise bonuses of so many civs.

    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.
