christophwarner<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>protonprivacy</span></a></span> 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.<br> <br><a href="https://job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/proton/jobs/4487951101" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/pr</span><span class="invisible">oton/jobs/4487951101</span></a><br><a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>proton</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/protonvpn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protonvpn</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/fedihire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedihire</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/qt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qt</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rust</span></a></p>
The Privacy Foundation<p>On VPN usage...</p><p>Hypothetically, any system on the web that you interact with can "know" you. And while it is true that VPNs are no different, the reality is that using a paid ProtonVPN or similar non-US based service would require that service to cooperate internationally with a warrant. Proton does not store where you visited. Good luck getting that info operationally into the hands of ICE as part of a dragnet.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Proton</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Security</span></a></p>

BedastGPT<p>I'm not sure what to think about <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Vivaldi</span></a></span>'s integration of Proton VPN directly into the browser.</p><p>While this doesn't, necessarily, prevent choice, it does kinda impede it a bit.</p><p>This is the kind of behavior that has gotten Mozilla Firefox in trouble in the past. This is the behavior of Mozilla that has been the exact reason I've avoided Firefox (what will be forced on me next?).</p><p>Just be a really good web browser, please?
