about the Lemmy devs

I mean, the devs haven’t made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.

Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs “in charge” even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.

FPS’s seemed boring, online games couldn’t keep my attention long enough to get through a match, and eventually I’d just leave a game on the pause menu while I messed around mindlessly on my phone.

My partner does this.

One, you might have ADHD. I can’t say, but you could look into it.

Secondly, you need to have some time to let your brain rest. When you bounce between tasks like that, you’re never actually not doing something. People think of doomscrolling as taking a break, but really you’re replacing your intended task with another task and there isn’t a time where you do no task.

AMD’s new naming scheme is also horrific

IIRC free tier on ProtonVPN blocks whatever peer to peer traffic they can detect.

I wouldn’t worry about privacy within the contents of the VPN though, as a lot of their services do require money so they should have quite a lot of funding through the paying users (like me.)

They do what they can to promote as much privacy as possible, but email really doesn’t lend itself well to that just in general. I would always suggest accessing any clearnet site through a VPN or Tor if you do sensitive work online.
