Mullvad

I thought they were wonderful. Until they got rid of port forwarding, which is the only reason why I was paying them: as a torrenting VPN.

If you don’t need that feature, Mullvad is still great…they take privacy/security seriously! That’s why they got rid of the feature I used haha.

They’ve also been put to the test and passed IMO:

If the RIAA can sue $100,000’s per individual mp3 file…

I’ve long said that it’s possible venting anger on social media may be kinda like announcing you’re gonna do something healthy and then not actually following through, because the brain’s flawed reward system gives you the good feel chemicals for just fantasizing about going on that run instead of actually going for a run.

The next question I consider is if it wasn’t a deliberate consequence in the early internet…are the billionaire corporates in charge of social media platforms aware of this now, thereby actively seeking out ways to make us docile more efficiently so we don’t get “uppity?”

looks around for consequences

Just like any corporate status quo enforcer would yeah. Eh this is me probably preaching to the choir.

I’d say that’s a neat factoid.

We’ll go extinct eventually so that’s true.

Instead of dismissing you out of hand, I wouldn’t mind hearing what the big picture is that you see.

We had family computers first, I can’t recall original specs but I think my mother added in a 384MB drive to the 486 desktop before buying a win98se prebuilt with a 2GB drive. I remember my uncle calling that Pentium II 350MHZ, 64MB SDRAM, Rage 2 Pro Turbo AGP tower “a NASA computer” haha.

Unfortunately. NDP have lost the plot in multiple ways under Singh.

Ah fuck. Canada is likely to copycat this, we love copying Australia’s homework. NDP and Cons BOTH already favor this idea except it’s also all 18+ websites. Gov ID to wack off. Puritans are on every wing and I wish we could shake them off.
