With an upgrade system that's a little inspired by the popularity of Vampire Survivors and all the games that followed, Rogue Kingdoms combines some interesting looking tower defense gameplay with direct hero control and roguelike elements.

@protonprivacy is looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Linux Desktop). Right now today, the Mozilla VPN frontend for Linux is better. The code is available and easily buildable on Linux but there are very strong concerns around privacy and some of those vpn routes including Mozilla as an organization being ripe for capture, if that isn't already the case. This looks like it would be a fun gig but probably not best for a US based citizen/programmer in our current environment. Sharing because this one is important (i use Proton and you should too, especially if you're in the US), I would be more than happy to cosign for anyone of my peers in the EU, Caribbean here.

On VPN usage...

Hypothetically, any system on the web that you interact with can "know" you. And while it is true that VPNs are no different, the reality is that using a paid ProtonVPN or similar non-US based service would require that service to cooperate internationally with a warrant. Proton does not store where you visited. Good luck getting that info operationally into the hands of ICE as part of a dragnet.

" 200 or so, countries world-wide, and they only include terms and cite laws, that they know apply to them. "
So many corporate simps ignore this little fact.

Do you see Proton cite terms for Japan or Korea, or any other friendly nation? No, because Proton is only subject to the laws where they are a registered business. Proton only (and others like them) worries about the ones that apply to them, and they include the United States of America for a reason.

I'm not sure what to think about @Vivaldi's integration of Proton VPN directly into the browser.

While this doesn't, necessarily, prevent choice, it does kinda impede it a bit.

This is the kind of behavior that has gotten Mozilla Firefox in trouble in the past. This is the behavior of Mozilla that has been the exact reason I've avoided Firefox (what will be forced on me next?).

Just be a really good web browser, please? I'd rather not have to go looking for another browser.

I've set up #Proton VPN on my home router, so all my devices are now connected through it. This means I'll rarely need to use the VPN functionality on individual devices. I will rarely need to use the functionality myself.

It’s true that having the VPN at the OS level is more secure. A browser extension only encrypts browser traffic.

However, I think this setup is a solid stepping stone for those who haven’t used a VPN before.

It might spark curiosity about Proton's services and encourage more users to migrate from Big Tech to Proton, enhancing their online privacy and security.

#Vivaldi has been gaining a significant number of new users lately. People are increasingly valuing European software alternatives and prioritizing privacy.

This trend presents a great opportunity to further assist new users in enhancing their privacy and supporting European tech.
