VPNs haven't been useful since 2002

[pianopraze]

That alright.  I too pay for a VPN service, along with anti-virus, and anti-everything else stuff...

It just bothers me that at every turn, without fail, every single thing I pay for along these lines only provides a "feeling" of being protected... I never truly am. 

Again and again, over and over, each one is revealed as devastatingly ineffectual, and vacuously implemented.

Ever since they exposed the Utah data centers in Wired magazine decades ago I’ve given up on the notion of online privacy.

pisses me off

black pills the hell out of me

but what the hell ya gonna do?
