You’re kidding yourself. They’re going to be bailed out by our fascist oligarchies, with contracts to use the data centers for totalitarian mass surveillance “to protect our freedom and national security”.

Yeah, flock is just another head in the fascist hydra.

This company failing will have no impact whatsoever on the expansion of the surveillance state, or fascisms implementation of totalitarianism.

Nah. Alex Jones is just a fucking con artist, who also happens to be extremely mentally ill. He’s showed many indications over the years that he doesn’t believe half the shit he continues to promote.

Nuclear is actually promoted by old guard mining and energy oligarchs because it provides a centralised means of control.

The peoples needs can be met with 100% renewables and battery storage. The oligarchies needs can never be met, because they are a malignant cancerous parasite.

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?

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?

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!

You don’t understand. Most of the worlds retirement accounts are heavily invested in these too-big-to-fail corporations. The worlds richest upper percentiles are directly tied to the profitability of the richest thousand corporations. If we start holding these criminals accountable for their crimes, that means less money for you and all the “uncle toms” that help perpetuate the late stage capitalist oligarchy. We couldn’t have that now, could we? Remember how much you like money? How much you like products? Who needs ethics or morality when you have money?

Make it make sense

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

Yeah, literally 99.999% of products you buy in 2026 fund right wing fascism, and most of it you can’t escape because they own the entire supply chain.

Ain’t capitalism fun?

They are a troll or a fascist, so any response is going to involve mental illness.

It’s an imploding empire with an oligarchy willing to sacrifice the planet and its populace for wealth and power, no different to Putin and Russias oligarchy… They can only plug the holes for so long before the cracks cannot be filled and the whole ship sinks.

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.

https://github.com/binarygeek119/FinTV

https://github.com/DrewThomasson/JellyfinTV

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.
