Is private Internet access (PIA) still a good privacy option, (lemmy.world)

I have had PIA for years on desktop and mobile with firefox and it's been fine. Any reason I should consider switching, or is it still generally good for privacy?

I occasionally torrent. But I'd like to browse and post politically sensitive content safely. Here on Lemmy, but also other non federated places.

Thanks

There's no laws preventing you from using what you perceive as women's hair care products.

I don't understand how anyone can vote for these ridiculous ghouls.

Most people over-index on maximizing compensation or holding on to stability. But there’s more to work than money and stability. Work is about growth, building connections, working on things you care about, being challenged and creating a legacy.

Fucking legacy? Is this a joke? Who gives a shit about what shitty products they launch for FAANG companies? I certainly don't - not beyond keeping my resume and portfolio up to date.

Compensation and stability are the only things that matter beyond basic working conditions and a non-toxic environment.

10 years ago, I started dating a girl and her cat licked my hair. We got married and have lots of cats together.

Dating apps lose their luster with college students by Odelay42 in c/technology@lemmy.world

College is perhaps the easiest time of your life to meet people irl and find a date or two or twenty. No surprise whatsoever that the apps are more regularly used by people who aren't in a 24/7 social mixer event with thousands of people their same age, education level, and (generally) class.

No, she intentionally used this language to dilute the impact of the actual, real, attempted insurrection on Jan 6. She's trying to normalize the phrase so people don't associate the word with violently storming the capitol trying to hang the vice president.

They want us to stop paying attention to words like coup.
