OP lives in Rome, where the average driver mentality is somewhere between "need for speed" and "carmageddon".

Basically no one is ever willing to wait for anyone else, as OP's reasoning shows pretty adamantly.

Of course they're grossly incorrect.

Acting like what makes Rome's traffic dangerous are cyclists or moped drivers (even if those can often be quite reckless) is basically victim-blaming.

We should never take such posts too seriously.

The hard upper limit on a neutron star mass, the Rhoades-Ruffini limit, is at 3.2 solar masses.

Changing of ownership fundamentally resets the trust we all had in PIA, which was due to you having proven in court you deliver on what you declare.

And in the VPN world, trust is fundamental.

I am still surprised you didn't see this coming.

I did unsubscribe a couple weeks ago and got a canned response too, almost immediately.

When your business is privacy and trust, any acquisition is problematic. Let alone an acquisition from a company with a similar track record.

That's only partially true.

A big part of security is your relationship with the people providing you hosting.

The compromises to nordvpn and others came from a rogue hosting company, for instance.
