It provides a false sense of security for the left even though they should still definitely be worried. The past week is reminiscent of 2016 when everyone thought Trump was a joke candidate and Hillary was going to crush him.

For "privacy" yes, almost entirely.

If your VPN isn't routing to your home network so you can safely access selfhosted applications then you're basically just sharing your traffic with a total stranger and trusting them not to run telemetry etc.

Why do people use these crap apps when podcasting is the only media which, from it's inception, is entirely liberated? You can get a FLOSS app and access pretty much everything. Anything you can't access doesn't deserve your attention.

The scummy sales person is a stereotype. They exist sure but if you've ever worked with a good one they can really help particularly if you're buying something complex.

They will have to rip Bitwarden (soon Vaultwarden) from my cold dead hands.

Anyone using these services in current year is asking for this. If someone is not computer literate and "has" to use these unnecessary services because they can't selfhost or whatever they need to recognize that total exploitation of their data is the cost and it will never, ever change unless you own your data on your own hardware.

I can't reiterate enough how much the government will never ever solve this problem.

I don't know why anyone is using youtube directly when they can use Newpipe or Freetube. No ads, sponsorblock and even the ability to automatically skip intros, recaps etc On top of that no google account tracking or algorithms.

Edit: Adding "libretube" as well based on some of the replies to this comment.

Yeah. I'm not a big "celebrity" person but he's had a net positive impact to the world and devoted his life to his cause. I have a signed copy of his hacking book from a seminar in college. I hope he comes out on the other side. I have a lot of respect for him despite his eccentric statements.
