    The system tray thing irks me to no end. Some apps still use one to control things and you have to use hacky plugins to get them to show. Other than that there’s a lot I do like about gnome. Plasma suits my needs more though. So much more you can do with it.














  • I…what?

    Look up how routing and VPNs and NAT work, then you may understand. VPNs existed in the business world long before consumers started becoming aware of them as “this lets me watch netflix in country X and pirate shit!” services.

    Okay, so the two examples you’ve provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.

    You’re missing the point. The point is that the “protection” doesn’t necessarily work, regardless of what you’re using it for, which undermines the purpose.

    The fuck are you on?

    If you are paying for something and you ultimately get busted and in financial trouble for using a service that says they’re going to shield you from this stuff, you don’t think you should get compensation? They aren’t delivering their end of the bargain.
