If you can live without port forwarding, mullvad is another great option.

It’s not just inconvenient, it literally makes large parts of the internet inaccessible, even important and useful parts that are not just memes and SoMe.

It’s still not working for me unfortunately, I’m using the latest release and I get “unplayable, video unavailable” error on everything.

I’ve had colleagues just play the “I don’t fucking care if you’re sending me back because my papers have a spelling mistake, this is just a business trip” method when US customs/immigration starts acting up. Not sure I’d have the balls to do that now that the US is sending people to KZ camp light for pretty much nothing.

It kind of makes sense that a paid service stops working when you stop paying though…

Selling user profiling data is also worth money, even if you’re not shown ads because of ad-blockers you bring value to the dataset by increasing it’s size with useful demographic data.

Man it’s been a long few days, glad they finally have a fix for it

The pixel 8a is slightly narrower than the pixel 5 (~1mm) and shorter (~4mm), so that could be a replacement, the 7a has similar physical dimensions to the 8a if you want something used/cheaper.

I use a boox leaf 2, it has android without google play services OOTB, you can install that if you want and you can side load apps like normal android too. It has a nice crisp screen, adjustable backlight (color and intensity) micro SD slot in addition to the 32gb internal storage. It will open pretty much any eBook format out there, and you can also use kindle app and adobe digital editions for DRM books (if you don’t strip the DRM)

I highly recommend it.

Many feel betrayed because he (partially at least) politically aligns with someone (and something) they loathe intensely. The feeling of betrayal probably comes from an implied idea that because they align on the issue of digital privacy they naturally do so in other aspects, and with the comments made by the CEO that idea is burst and someone who once felt familiar is now foreign.

What’s crazy is that there’s a risk they’d prosecute someone just for talking shit about the monarchy.

With browser settings that actually let me use the internet in a way that’s not overly cumbersome and annoying, I get 16bits or something and a “nearly unique fingerprint”

It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don’t have road tolls. They’re used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.

I have had a few ads popup in it,

How is this not cause enough to instantly drop them!?

I don’t disagree, but that’s not how it currently is unfortunately

It will also simultaneously render the vast majority of the internet useless, and not only the shitty parts that you don’t want/need anyway.

Does that make me a dad even if I don’t have any kids?

Getting enjoyment from seeing other/young peoples enjoyment diminished is not a dad-thing, it’s just a jerk-thing.

I generally refrain from discussing politics anywhere I’m trying to have a good time. People are really bad at discussing political topics without getting all riled up. It’s exactly the same as religious topics, people get weirdly combatant. I find it much easier to have a good time if you just keep that stuff to yourself as much as possible.

Then I wouldn’t even spend a second trying to cancel the account…remove the disposable mail from your mail so you don’t receive forwards and be done with it.
