Why not? As long as you run a reputable VPN it's perfectly safe (and most places let you use a VPN - the ones that don't, I just roll LTE lol)

Your mileage may definitely vary haha, I use that feature a lot (I'm lucky / unlucky enough to work with a lot of new technologies)

I had my work stuff shipped across the country to me. No in-person onboarding required

I also use Nord. I think it's fine, but self-hosted and open would be better (since you for SURE know what data is passing through and what is happening with it). With Nord it's like a "trust me bro" black box.

That said, I trust Nord enough for my needs. I don't do anything too secretive on the VPN and frankly I think the 80/20 is in favor of just using Nord over self-hosting (I don't really have time for that).

Only reason I don't use Ecosia is because you can't search for "Within the past year". Which is really necessary when you're a programmer

Oh my gosh you're right, that's embarrassing. I'm deleting my comment from before, oops. Thank you!

This is cool, but there appears to be no issues tab in GitHub which is a bit of a red flag.

Discord nickname that originated from OneShot (the game my icon is from). I chose it like 4 or 5 years ago and it stuck on Discord so I just adopted it to here

My one big gripe with Mastadon is that images take absolutely forever to load if they have even a marginal amount of pixels. I scroll art often and I'm left waiting for greater than a minute for these things to load (and I'm on a very, very fast connection).

Oh my God that's embarrassing
