It's not about electricity. Las Vegas is literally the worst place to build a large city with extravagant outdoor swimming pools, fountains, etc because those things require water and those things lose water at a ridiculous rate in the

LEO requires totally different technology than getting to and landing on the Moon. So yes, they cannot get to LEO, but they've been developing the machines (SLS) that should allow them to get to the Moon. It's doubtful it'll

Obviously the value of their subscription service is not compelling enough for their business to sustain itself.

What did they expect? They don't really offer a valuable service besides a one-off test + results. At some point you're going to hit everyone who wants to use the service, they'll use it exactly once, and you'll have no

It's literally the 2nd sentence on firefox.com: > Automatic privacy is here. They "care" about it, but they don't care about it.

It's not free software, it includes proprietary google tracking libraries.

Pidgin doesn't support OMEMO[0], which is sad. I've also had mixed results using MUC on pidgin/xmpp in the past.. 0. https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/16801

Those arguments don't hold any weight. They could have forked the OpenVPN for Android app (which is some GPL license, don't remember which), thrown in their own branding and default config, and not shipped a proprietary mess to cu

OpenVPN and IPSec clients exist, why is ProtonVPN reinventing the wheel? This ProtonVPN advertisement wouldn't have been 'necessary' if they had used and supported an existing client for these protocols.. but then again, they
