WOO! This is proof that we actually have power! I am so relieved to see that democracy still exists here!

A VPN? That routes the traffic to the other server, so the ISP can only see you’re connecting to a VPN. Most people recommend Mullvad, I personally use Proton and Windscribe, both free, open source, and trusted.

Linux for most is an active decision and requires some knowledge about tech and an interest in it, whereas Windows is default for most and used by most people, not just people who like tech.

NO! We can’t lose this!

On the bright side, they got rid of one domain and three more popped up, just like Cerberus!

Never had a problem on Lemmy or Mastodon with a VPN. If you create a Reddit account through a VPN, though, you will get shadowbanned. I made my Lemmy and Mastodon accounts with a VPN and had zero issues.

Glad to see so many against, horrible to see that many for, let’s not let this get passed.

The wording is very vague, not saying exactly how, but with how everything globally is going, I doubt just typing an age is what they mean.

Or not just coding into it already verified so you DON’T have to do all these invasive things like ID scans?

Oh no? I’m sure some people won’t code workarounds…!

Literally how can they enforce this on Linux? It’s open-source, people just won’t choose those versions or edit that out of the code.

This is a wonderful video.

No, I would never trust them. General rule of thumb: don’t trust Youtube advertisements. They seem very sketchy to me. Why would these companies and data brokers willingly delete your data by just asking? Not to mention that it would instantly resurface in a million other areas. The best thing to do is to instead not give out that information in general, or not make it obvious who you are.

No, no, but try to recognise and change some of your writing habits.

The article barely mentions this, and I haven’t seen comments here mentioning it, but a huge factor in determining identities is one’s writing style. In fact, analyzing the way people speak and write is its own science (linguistic forensics) and is also used by law enforcement (though can realistically be done by anyone with OSINT and basic understanding of individual linguistic patterns.) Dead giveaways are especially if you consistently misspell a certain word or use a certain emoticon or uncommon phrase or word, it’s like a linguistic footprint. If Andy123 on Reddit and XxwhateverxX both spell appearance as appearence and both say booyah and both spell :) as (:, then it is much easier to tell that they may be the same person. This is something that you must be aware of, as well as giving out personal information like country of origin, amount of pets, place of work, etc.

No more privacy! Everyone knows everything about everyone everywhere! Woooo!

Who could have seen that coming?

I haven’t had a problem with cnvmp3. It worked last time that I tried to do it.

The more people switch from Chromium browsers, the less money they get! The more people switch from Google services, the better. Remember that they get money from us using their services.

Ohhh, thank you for the information! I’ll look into something like Waterfox then.

I don’t really see how that can be the case when Chromium is open-source, though I’m admittedly not very knowledgeable on this subject.
