Reminds me of the Rule of Goats:

If you fuck a goat ironically, you’re still fucking a goat. Same goes with ironic Hitler salutes.

Yeah people are going to love it when their tax refunds take 4 months to hit their bank account instead of 10 days.

Yes, by law. Of course the business will abide by federal law before state law because federal law is supreme.

It’s a VPN within a VPN. So all your traffic over the Mullvad VPN connection has a VPN within it going to Proton (but only for Firefox).

To answer the questions directly:

1. Yes, but not exactly. Everything goes through Mullvad, but Firefox goes through Proton going through Mullvad.
2. No, they’ll just see the Proton information.
3. It slows down your connection! That’s a lot more extra hops. Practically…I suppose if the “inner VPN” was necessary to connect to a specific host (like a work VPN) then it could be useful. For example you use Mullvad on your router, but your work laptop uses a VPN to connect to resources needed to do your work. Other than that I can’t see why you’d need to use 2 at the same time.

Not sure if you’re asking for advice, but if appeals to reason doesn’t work “I’m your fucking parent and you’re going to do it or you’re grounded until you do” should work nicely.

Not the OP, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I do think it’s a little odd given that the security is at the client and not in the protocol. As others have mentioned already, if you use skyview.social, you can see the posts anyway.

This is top level enshittification. You’re showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!

I work with plenty of people from India. They’re pretty good at their jobs. They should be paid the same as us in the USA.

I don’t mind that they work on the other side of the world. I don’t mind them at all. I mind that the main reason why they’re hired is that my employer can pay them peanuts. They deserve better.
