@protonprivacy is looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Linux Desktop). Right now today, the Mozilla VPN frontend for Linux is better. The code is available and easily buildable on Linux but there are very strong concerns around privacy and some of those vpn routes including Mozilla as an organization being ripe for capture, if that isn't already the case. This looks like it would be a fun gig but probably not best for a US based citizen/programmer in our current environment. Sharing because this one is important (i use Proton and you should too, especially if you're in the US), I would be more than happy to cosign for anyone of my peers in the EU, Caribbean here.

Vivaldi and Proton VPN
A couple of days ago Vivaldi 7.3 brought with it small surprise: the inclusion of a new toolbar button that would set you up with a Proton VPN account (using your Vivaldi credentials). There was mixed reaction to this in the Fedi. Some lauded the inclusion of VPN from a known and trusted company, while others reacted in horror because of an incident that Proton's CEO, Andy Yen, was involved with in January of this year. where he seemingly publicly praised one President Donald Trump.
When hearing of the furore for the first time I asked for information and was provided a link that I read and quick-fire reacted to, but I knew I'd need to take a deeper look to settle the issue to my satisfaction.
Fedi, I don't think he's a Trump Supporter. If he's guilty of anything it's naivety. I'm not sure he sees the threat Trump or the GOP represent.
Have a read of Medium.com's piece analysing the situation. I agree with their points and certainly can't dispute their findings. Proton do seem to be Good Guys, folks who are on Our Side as much as they can be.
I think using Proton's email or VPN is fine IF you are using these services carefully, e.g. don't give Proton recovery email addresses that can then be used to reveal your identity. They do hand over data, although this is whatever metadata you've given them - your content is always secure, as advertised. Not ideal, but then what is in this crazy, complicated world? I'll also point out that they actively fight back against unlawful requests, and particularly any from the US.
I also don't think this is any reflection on Vivaldi the company or Browser, so I will be forcefully rejecting calls by anyone to boycott company or browser on this basis. Vivaldi simply need money, and this partnership is another way they're trying to keep themselves afloat.
Both companies have excellent, evidenced track records that speak to who they are. Both companies have excellent staffing, of the kind we on Fedi should at the very least have no issue with.
I personally will not be using Proton's VPN; I already have one I've been using since 2016, though I am shopping for a new one. I've also taken Proton's Vivaldi offering out for a wee test drive because #SoftwareGeek. My rejection of their service is no comment on the company or software itself.
Vivaldi is still a top-tier browser. I 100% believe you can use it safely and ethically. Their politics are YOUR politics (unless you skew extreme).
The Fedi is wonderful but the Fedi is also VERY Black and White at times. Sometimes critical thinking is missed in lieu of solidarity with the trending winds.
But back to here and now I'm rejecting this VPN brouhaha as a storm in a tea-cup.
#Vivaldi #ProtonVPN
Hey @Vivaldi, I have VPN disabled in the Settings, but I get a notification from Proton VPN when I launch Vivaldi:
Unable to reach the server, please try to reconnect, or to log out and log in again if the problem persists
If it's disabled, it shouldn't be running at all.

I’m running a manual #ProtonVPN #wireguard configuration on my router and #SlingTV via my #Roku does not like it. Anyone else figure out how to get #Sling to work through a #VPN?
In case you haven't run Vivaldi, the browser Opera's creator made after the Chinese bought Opera and he left.
Vivaldi's new update just added FREE Proton VPN use. New icon button on the command bar for it.
#Proton VPN for Vivaldi
https://vivaldi.com/new/
Je parlais plus tôt de l'intégration de #ProtonVPN dans le navigateur #Vivaldi. Petit bémol sur cette nouvelle fonctionnalité : l'utilisateur a droit à la version gratuite de base. Donc, une connexion automatique au hasard dans l'un des 5 pays seulement offerts.
Tu es au Canada et la connexion automatique se fait par exemple avec un serveur aux Pays-Bas. C'est pas le top !
Aussi bien vous prendre un abonnement payant au service, ou un autre comme #NordVPN que j'utilise depuis 2 ans.
A company truly outside Us Jurisdiction does NOT have terms and conditions concerning Us Customer and Us Laws, because they do not need them, because they do not apply to them. The same way, they do not need to include the other 200 or so, nations around the world.
It is rocket science. This is not hard to understand.

#Vivaldi integrates #ProtonVPN into the browser to fight web tracking
" 200 or so, countries world-wide, and they only include terms and cite laws, that they know apply to them. "So many corporate simps ignore this little fact.
Do you see Proton cite terms for Japan or Korea, or any other friendly nation? No, because Proton is only subject to the laws where they are a registered business. Proton only (and others like them) worries about the ones that apply to them, and they include the United States of America for a reason.

The loss of #privacy and #anonymity is always a loss of #civilrights, but especially now. #privacymatters #Switzerland #Protonvpn #Protonmail
Seeing @Vivaldi integrate #protonvpn into their browser has me looking elsewhere quickly, again 
Das #Nostr Protokoll bietet nicht nur verschlüsselte Direkt-Nachrichten und einfache Möglichkeiten, öffentliche Chat-Gruppen einzurichten. Das Mikro- und Makro-Blogging vollzieht sich ebenfalls über Relays, wodurch man von Server-Instanzen unabhängig ist. Die Clients besitzen unterschiedliche Features u.a. für eine Verwaltung der genutzten Relays.
Heute werde ich die interessanten Möglichkeiten testen, von unterschiedlichen Clients auf die selben Identitäten zu zugreifen, damit zu arbeiten und z.B. die Verwaltung der Relays für ein und die selbe Identität zu optimieren.
Für die sichere Verwaltung der vielen Schlüssel, nutze ich übrigens den hierfür ideal geeigneten, kostenlosen, verschlüsselten Passwort-Manager #ProtonPass von Proton (für den PC und vom Smartphone aus!). Das selbe Proton aus der Schweiz, das auch das bekannte, kostenlose #ProtonMail und #ProtonVPN anbietet.
Als letztes werde ich dann Brücken ins Fediverse und nach Blueskey testen. Als allerletztes werde ich mir die Einbindungsmöglichkeiten Nostr-kompatibler Bitcoin- und Lightning-Wallets ansehen.
Schönen Tag wünsche ich.
It's always nice to see good players teaming up.
@Some_Emo_Chick and now people complain its "US-only". well, I wonder why .. aside of animating you to use the "paid" version .. xD
on that note: apparently broken under Linux. But then, I dont need it anyway, as I'm ALREADY a regular paying user of a #protonvpn package :D
