i signed up for a proton vpn account as a backup for if my main vpn craps out on me. why did no one tell me the linux version was better? like they kept the ability to pick locations and everything

plus the entire concept of "cringe culture" ultimately originates from ableist bullying about special interests, hence why I get sad / annoyed even when folks use it for themselves as a "reclamation" because...no. there is no "culture" there to reclaim

@draggian that too. i'll admit i do still find things cringe/embarrassing, but i usually try to decenter my own feelings when that happens

@draggianuniverse i feel like cringiness is just a person not loving that part of themselves, or like, they got shamed for being authentic, so they cringe when others act authentic because they were once bullied for it or something. idk i hope im coherent lol.

@hhroses > I fully agree with that re: individual people, but if you look at when and where calling things "cringe" as a popular cultural phenomenon originated, it was (and still is) mostly directed at autistic folks' SIs / things with large autistic fanbases. Personal trauma is part of that, but the broader ableist origins can't be ignored in any discussion of the concept.

what do you mean you're supposed to install the codecs & other dependencies yourself to get things to work on bottles? looks like i'm gonna try and run aimp using it all over again

When I swapped from Windows to Linux I found Proton VPN to be pretty poor, but I didn't know you couldn't pick locations in Windows anymore! I find Mullvad's Linux support to be top notch personally.
@thehoneypot that makes sense. honestly i trust mullvad more than proton. so that's not a surprise to me. the only reason i dont use mullvad is i'm kinda unemployed right now but noted
