It is a good list. Everyone will have their own personal preferences, but I think overall the list is good.

Reading the whole message, his position seems totally reasonable.

VLC seems to be the gold standard. If you want to play something, it will. That should be more than enough for common users.

I’m not surprised. If you didn’t have to will to properly build it yourself, you won’t’ have the will to properly maintain it.

So many. So many little utilities that just work. To mention a couple I think no one will mention because they are not sexy: Okular and Ark

dear lord…

I give up. I wish you good luck in your quest.

… and I’m not saying I disagree with you.

What facts? Just because I have a slightly more moderate and less radical stance regarding stopping to use some company services than you, you already started throwing the “fascist supporter” card. That’s usually what extremes do.

wow, we really are going to extremes

In this case neither one nor the other is supporting this. The whole debate is about the action of one of the founders (not the CEO, who already said he doesn’t support those views).

Sure, you are free to think that way and I’m not saying I disagree with you. I just know that, if I stop using a product or service from a company, just because I don’t agree with someone working there (even if it is someone that founded that company), it is very likely I won’t be able use anything.

If it was the acting CEO or the company posture, I would do the same, but apparently it is not the case. Until then, Mullvad still provide great service.

Mullvad is still the best. For the time being, until the situation clears out, I wouldn’t stop using it.

These politicians need to be investigated, the shady way things are being conducted, the exclusion for themselves, the persistence on the subject after it being blocked by parliament multiple times and the way they twist and shape the narrative to make it more palatable is really suspicious.

People will agree and disagree on individual choices, as we can see by the other comments, but I think that is an excellent start.

A message for others, improving your privacy can be a gradual process, you don’t need change everything at once, since that would be overwhelming. Start with one or two, and if that works for you, move on to other items.

They did you a favor. Stop using that crap.

Exactly

Good choices. Congrats

Good luck
