[23:57:18] <exec> 08└─You can always count on Republicans to screw the rural poor people that they pander to while campaigning. Conservatives say they're upset that politicians lie to them, but then they gave that as the reason that they voted for a pathological liar, and say that he tells it like it is. They have no ide...

[23:58:23] <exec> 08└─I don't think anyone is suggesting dropping encryption over VPN. VPN users are going to be using HTTPS over VPN. As you say, VPN is always going to be the minority. But if we can get that to be a 20% minority instead of a 0.01% minority, it's going to make the snoopers' jobs much more difficult.
