Not even Windows can run all Windows games, so that’s kind of a hard criteria for Linux to achieve.

People buy specially supported PCs for Linux?

Extra virgin

I prefer lightly fucked.

Screw it, I’m not picky, give me the full slut.

Quite the contrary, it’s properly structured and leaves no room for misinterpretation, given that the reader can, well, read.

Are you assuming that Google, which, as far as I’m aware, is an international company providing service to a multilingual userbase, has less than 1% non-native English speaking users?

I mean, I don’t care much how Google advertises itself, even companies I do like sometimes make an unlucky promotion and that’s fine, but I do find the arguments in this comment thread to make some wild assumptions.

That just expands the question: do they not know about other countries?

Many of us have certain connotations with google, and while we know the game in our native language, it’s not the first thing we think about when thinking “Google says: I spy”.

I’m pretty sure almost no nerds use chatgpt, as chatgpt kinda takes the nerdiness out of the nerd.

Script kiddy might fit better, looking at stackoverflow from the past half year.

PIA being owned by the same scammy company as ExpressVPN does not necessarily mean that it itself also is bad, but one should keep an open eye on them.

Like I said, I haven’t found any evidence that ExpressVPN sells their customer data, even though it might be likely.

Thank you very much, we should always strive to back up claims with relevant links and data, no matter if it’s common sense or how trivial it might seem.

While the quote and linked paper give a good picture of the VPNs and their controversies, such as ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, and PIA being under ownership of a less-than-trustworthy company which also happens to be specialized in malware and surveillance, I did not find anything that directly supported @spudwart@spudwart.com’s claim.

The only controversy (except questionable ownership) I could find in the article was a few paragraphs lower regarding the Andrey Karlov assassination, where ExpressVPN denied the existence of logs but investigators somehow still managed to extract a serial number of a computer(?) after a datacenter raid. Not sure if I got that right, but it would fit the established profile from this comment chain:

ExpressVPN, on the other hand, told investigators it did not have any logs or customer data on a server in Turkey, which was raided by Turkish authorities, according to Hurriyet Daily News. According to the site, authorities said the server was used to hide details regarding an assassination of a Russian ambassador. ExpressVPN released a statement about the incident.

It’s almost midnight here, so please correct me if I missed something.

Oh, and nice paper, has a good, natural flow and appears to keep technical jargon to a level where anyone should be able to draw well informed conclusions.

Thank you for the heads-up. Do you have any articles about this?

Expressvpn is about 10$ a month, so 5$ would definitely be an improvement.

… Please do not fuck that.

Dunno about Bluetooth, but isn’t Expressvpn pushing their new password manager? I imagine it’s a separate app, but if not, then it would make sense to have camera to read 2FA QR-codes.

Edit: from their site:

Keys comes included in any ExpressVPN subscription and is built right in to our apps for iOS and Android.

Yup, that’s got to be the camera. Still not sure about the Bluetooth though.

You tell us.

Using PWA you’ll retain all the features and nice-to-haves of the app, while also preventing it from doing any weird magic to your files in the background. Sharing files from your main profile to your private profile is also as easy as opening the file in your main profiles file browser and clicking “share”.

What is your threat/privacy level? How far are you willing to go, and what/how much is it that you want to keep private?

I’m clearly too tired to make any sense. Please have a nice evening.

Electric cars are indeed much worse for the climate at production time than combustion cars likely will be throughout their entire lifetime.

But this matters little, as the electric car is not made to be the perfect alternative, it is instead made to be the “weird in between solution” that we need to bring as many devices as possible to use a common power source and get people acquainted with the concept, before moving to the actual solution.

The next steps will be better battery technology because, let’s face it, lithium gel batteries suck, and proper power sources.

In the end, I guess it’s kind of a “chicken and egg” situation.

It was a message along the lines of “Your friend Ekky has started using Telegram, say hello to them”.

Not sure if it was a notification or a message, but that was very uncanny and definitely felt scammy and abusive. It’s not the first time I’ve seen an app behave this way, though usually the app asks first.

Wait what? I thought Telegram pretty much was Discord but for people who prefer phones over computers.

Wasn’t there also a controversy where some people believed that telegram was private and secure, but that only was for a very limited subset of their features?

Disclaimer: I’ve only ever installed telegram once for one single person, but promptly removed it afterward for sending out messages to some of my contacts on its own, so I have no clue how it actually works. Feel free to correct or educate me.

I’m saying that I’m an advocate for equality. :)

Edit: Perhaps I should say “fair treatment” instead of “equality”, as “equality” is rather loaded and can mean different things depending on context. My bad.

And besides, now that I am editing anyway and haven’t received any answers to this comment. I do not think that everyone needs to be tolerant or needs to be tolerated, as that is a fallacy. Tolerate those who tolerate you, respect those who show you respect. And yet, one should at least try to tolerate those who disrespect one, unless they cause you significant harm, as there will always be those with differing opinions.

We can’t make everybody happy, and I personally despise both extremes of this argument; those who tolerate nobody, and those who advokate to tolerate everybody, but themselves choose only to do so when it’s comfortable. Of course this includes those who are so tolerant that they go on ‘witch hunts’ against those who are ‘intolerant’, with little or no aggression from the other side.

I’m a hypocrite myself so I don’t mind much, but why should your rules apply to me if they don’t apply to you?

And also, great explanation. You could make a Ted talk, I’m sure.

That sounds pretty intolerant to me. Can you find the door by yourself?
