I wonder if people will start using this as magic security sauce.
More likely they'll use it and end up with a false sense of security.

Contrast this with trans-cranial magnetic stimulation and claims this can induce the feeling of religiosity in people: you may believe in god, because your ferromagnetic particles align to believe in god in the right magnetic field..
(not really.. but still. the thing about induced states of mind by TCMS is true)
Maybe there is a correlation between religion and the proximity to power lines.

We need a "Right to Be Left Alone" law.

and easier to learn.
and better funded.
and easier to find devs.
Rust is going to feel more familiar to Tor contributors than Go. Based on the list of platinum members (which includes Google and Tor btw) there's some serious money going into the Rust Foundation, assuming it's managed properly I can't see funding as an issue.

Funnily enough a VPN is the only way to robustly keep your kids off porn sites, social media and other rubbish.

This is what happens when there's a lack of robust options for parents to deal with the issue themselves. As a technical person I can prevent my kids from accessing these apps on any of their devices, regardless of whether they're at home or not. But if you're a parent who is not you're pretty much limited to the flawed offerings from Apple and Google, who are financially incentivized to make it as hard and as full of holes as possible.

Hah, Kim Dotcom is still around? In the 90s he was bragging that he's this super hacker that made millions, his website posted pics of parties, cars, girls, and yachts, and it turned out those were bought/rented using swindled investor money (ironic that he's accusing Zelensky of the same crime). Then he became a sort of hero when the US/NZ governments Team 6-ed his house for the crime of aiding copyright infringement.
Now he's a Putin/Trump apologist...
Still around and at a huge cost to the New Zealand taxpayer - people used to have some sympathy but public opinion turned against him years ago. His extradition was declared ok, long overdue he was put on a plane and made somebody else's problem.
