<p>I have so much respect for everyone at Mullvad. You are the only VPN provider I trust! I have been a user for years now, and it has always been 5 dollars a month, which is quite generous. It is so cheap that even the poor can afford privacy. You guys have put a ton of effort into making your service as privacy respecting as possible. Not only that, the tech is on the bleeding edge (WireGuard, socks5, etc.) built right in. As a cybersecurity researcher, I could not be happier with the product. I hope you stay true to your mission, thanks again!</p>

<p>I figured I would put in my two cents; The US Government and its affiliates are terrorists. To be clear, in just the same way we perceive external threats. We have bombed and killed children, raped and pillaged, and destroyed entire cultures. This is humanity. The reality is survival of the fittest, and reality is not morally correct, it is in fact about what is amorally correct. Can't make everyone happy, and what rational mind would sacrifice their own for another to survive. Not a one, because we are selfish (Which is good, it keeps alive to a degree). Are ego's will always say we are good, if you are into that kind of denial of self-service. But for me, I know that I am human, and I live with a planet full of humans. Humans are Mammals, Mammals are Animals, Animals don't have morals; they do what they will to survive.</p>

<p>I can truly relate to this article, especially where you mentioned trying to extract only the specific contents of elements that you need; without bloating your software. To me, that seemed intuitive with the minimal experience I have in web scraping. However, I ended up fighting the frameworks. Me being stubborn, I did not try your approach and kept trying to be a perfectionist about it LMAO. Thank you for this read, glad I am not the only one who has been through this. Haha...</p>

<p>This is most likely one of the most unintelligent statements I have ever heard. Value is subjective, period. End of story. The US dollar literally only has value if people have confidence in it. Because we are still bartering and trading, the US dollar is simply a standardization of value. Again, value will always differ from person to person. In fact, I think commodity based tokens would be interesting. Cryptocurrency, as it is, has no value to me. The dollar bill is a standard that will certainly change. Hopefully we can have a utility/commodity based currency in the future. We used to have that when the Dollar was actually backed by bars of gold. LOL</p>

<p>This fascinates me, all these negative comments that seem to stem from projections of fear of failure. Yeah, this project has a chance to fail, like everything else in life.<p>But to me I think this project will be indeed ready in a few years, and I will certainly be running this on my M1 as soon as it is stable and useful. It will be interesting to see how this turns out, I just wanted to comment on the next-level narcissism going on. Why most of you choose to be pessimistic and make not your problem, your problem, is beyond me.<p>Keep up the great work Team, Asahi!</p>

<p>Arch Linux is great, and Mac OS is way way better than Windows. Mac is not private, it is convenient and based on Unix; which is why I like it. My main set up is a linux box running Gardua Linux. When Asahi Linux get's more stable I will virtualize my Mac hardware and use Linux full time. Gaming is not really an issue on Linux for me anymore. Most of my library works and I code more than I do anything else.</p>

<p>I never said sub-species where mythical, I said that pretending that skin pigmentation defines race is ridiculous. We are human, a sub-species in this context would be a Neanderthal or similar.</p>

<p>Somehow, we continue to disregard what is staring us right in our faces. Simply put, … the truth!<p>What truth? A couple, a couple of serious problems that is contributing to the self-destruction of the United States of America. Now, I would like to preface this with the fact that I hope this provokes you, because it should.<p>As an American, I have noticed that people have very fragile beliefs here.
To the point that if challenged, it is almost as if they crumble or short circuit when confronted with something foreign to them. It makes sense but for one reason, most tend to fear the unknown to an irrational degree. This form of indoctrination of non-critical thinking or the inability to think for yourself starts from the second you come out of the womb, and into your parent's arms. They tell your truth, before you can observe it yourself to confirm, they fill your head with what they like; what they want you to be!<p>Then so do your teachers, politicians, etc. They force-feed us lies, in hopes that we will be more like themselves or our perception of what they represent to us. Then we are lied too once more and are trained to believe that there is any other race than human. Which is false, there is nothing racial about varying pigments, skin pigmentation is simply a result of the climate you are subjected to. But we are fighting and killing over race, religion, and man made beliefs, that did not begin with us and are scientifically false or implausible. For some reason we often try to disassociate from the fact that we are animals (Mammals), we self-domesticate, and think we need a government to survive and this is why we are such an easy people to brainwash, it’s a cultural thing! Actually, on an instinctual level human beings are very much like dogs, easy to train and are territorial. As far as I can tell, the animal kingdom was doing fine before us animals came into the picture, natural selection; it’s a thing.<p>So the reality of needing (God = Government) is actually not real at all, and this is merely another fundamental flaw in your ability to think with your own brain.</p>

<p>First, You are conflating sociopathy with narcissism. They are two different disorders that are commonly seen together. Secondary, you have a very narrow understanding of sociopathy.<p>Society, as it is, is not the end all be all. What is socially acceptable, and what is not, is always evolving. People who were right, are now wrong, vice versa. I think people should prioritize selfishness and educating themselves. Don't be a slave, and question your own thinking patterns and habits. 90% of the comments are people not thinking for themselves. This article brought this issue to light quite vibrantly... Cheers.</p>
