  • I mean it’s not like a VPN is providing major anonymity. We already know all the major providers are tapped. You should treat any VPN like a spy agency.

    If you need anonymity, a free VPN is probably not the best place to look.

    Also they could correlate your network traffic without you logging in. That is not a requirement. No matter what, any VPN is going to give some kind of unique user identifier.

  • which app are you using?

    Jump

  • Memmy on iOS is very much like Apollo. A bit buggy but a great start.

    Mlem really didn’t satisfy me.

  • Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • In the past, Reddit alternatives pretty much existed only for the least savory people (i.e. nazis)

    Now Reddit has caused an exodus of good users, a bit different.

  • What was the biggest culture shock you ever experienced?

  • The bidet has a hot air dryer. Truly living in the future.

    Backup for Old Fitgirl-Repacks?

    Jump

  • Best way is probably just to leave it running for a while and make sure ports are forwarded.

  • Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?

    Jump

  • I still use torrents sometimes but almost exclusively use Usenet these days. For Plex/jellyfin servers it’s pretty unbeatable.

    Torrents are mostly stuff like audiobooks from audiobookbay and myanonymouse and games from repackers like Fitgirl.

    I mean usenet costs money and torrents don’t.

  • Encrypt Your DNS (STOP Your ISP SNOOPING!) - Naomi Brockwell

    Jump

  • I didn’t watch the video but you can use DNS over HTTPS in Firefox to accomplish the same thing. It’s just a setting.

    Though you’ll only be protected in Firefox.

  • F.E.A.R. Review - IGN (2005)

    Jump

  • Kind of crazy to think that AI in games has never really evolved past this game. In many cases modern games have far worse AI than FEAR,

  • What was the biggest culture shock you ever experienced?

    Jump

  • When my Muslim coworker told me that they didn’t use toilet paper and found it disgusting.

    I later got a bidet and have never looked back.

  • Do You Think There Would Have Been a Large Protest if Steve Huffman Just Said We're Charging to Use the API to Increase Revenue?

    Jump

  • I really don't think that 3rd party apps were anything but collateral damage. I think his real goal is to try and capitalize off of AI training.

    He clearly saw these companies using reddit data to train AI for like no money and got upset.

  • What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming

    Jump

  • I would say it's not really an age thing. I mean age probably plays a role but ultimately it's just a hobby that is relatively common and not very exciting to an outsider.

    This is definitely experienced by 20 year olds too. There is definitely a social pressure.

    Based on this, 12% of people in your age bracket play video games, it's typically a roughly 50/50 split by gender. Not exactly a small amount. I think it's more that if you date 10 women, one will be a gamer and you've just not met that one.

  • Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

    Jump

  • On reddit, half of the users are bots controlled by various corporations and state departments.

  • Reddit: Don't like us anymore? Pay us $50/year!

    Jump

  • It's open source.

  • How the beehaw defederation affects us

    Jump

  • This is Korea all over again.

  • How long until we have corporate instances in the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • We do it’s called ‘beehaw’

  • Could federation be a turn-off for more 'mainstream' users?

    Jump

  • Learning is bad actually.

  • Is there a Pushshift equivalent for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • There isn't but hopefully the lemmy API will be functional enough on its own that we don't need something like pushshift.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • This is the Cato institute. It’s garbage.

  • Is there a Revanced equivalent to YouTube Music?
