Less maintained? Did you even read the article you posted?
“We take these findings extremely seriously and have moved quickly to patch the identified issues,” said a Mullvad spokesperson. “We’re grateful to X41 for their thorough audit, which helps us continually improve our service’s security.”
Despite the concerning nature of some vulnerabilities, the researchers praised Mullvad’s overall security posture. “The Mullvad VPN Application appears to have a high security level and is well positioned to protect from the threat model proposed in this report,” the audit stated.

Yea, let’s switch to some other service that is less maintained because of a compliment to a guy we don’t like.
I’m not saying I agree with their justification but I could see why they might be collecting yet another data point: education level. If someone constantly uses a calculator for simple calculations they might have a low education level. People in that demographic will be served different ads than more educated people.
It sucks, but I could see Google doing that.
Agreed, but there have been big projects that have been open source. I can imagine* an AI (LLM) being developed fully FOSS. It would be rare, but I can see it happening if a big foundation got behind it. Maybe Mozilla, or another that tries to keep the spirit of their mission statement.
*Imagine: I’m not too familar with all of the current, public, and free models out there, just a few. This was just me making a hopeful guess about if it might be actually happening now.
“NordVPN is clarifying that it will comply with information requests from international law enforcement after publishing a blog post in 2017 saying that it wouldn’t.”
So, it seems they’ll turn on logging if asked nicely enough.
I can do it in the Boost for Lemmy app. I don’t know if you can do it via the web interface.
