Your OS doesn't matter when picking a VPN provider.

Others have mentioned plenty of good options.

Hopefully you're not feeding https://globe.adsbexchange.com/

It was an open community and then the person who ran the server sold it to a corporation for over a million dollars. I believe the community strongly dislikes the person and spun up their own website and server https://globe.airplanes.live/

It's not about if you're important or not, it's about if you become important to someone.

I still use Boost for Reddit. It's never stopped working.

It's my honest experience. Why do you speak negatively towards me?

Unless you inspect every line of code and/or monitor your computer activity to a super human level then you'll never know.

Viruses don't behave like a neanderthal like they used to 20 years ago, so just because you don't notice a virus doesn't mean you don't have one. Let's be honest, viruses are still a thing and botnets have become a thing. These don't magically appear from nothing.

You shouldn't be blindly trusting anyone on the internet, especially those not abiding by the laws. People and entities can be impersonated. They can behave differently at any moment.

Personally i would do one of three things, run pirated content, in a VM, on a separate drive, or on a dedicated computer - because why take the risk when you don't have to.

I believe some of them are on websites like OnlyFans, which can be real porn if they decide to do so. I imagine being on Twitch is a method to be discovered.

I also agree with what you said. I also dislike how pornographic content is served right next to normal innocent content. It's like having porn channels on TV right next to the family channels.

Thanks.

Turns out in this specific occasion that it wasn't removed/hidden; so it must be a bug with Sync for Lemmy.

Some mod actions can be shockingly moronic, so I can also understand why some people get annoyed. I suppose some people must get next level angry to harass mods though.

One big issue that Lemmy has because it's a distributed service is the dilution of results.

For example, there is only one Reddit domain (that people use to access the service) but there are hundreds/thousands of Lemmy domains and the dilution will continue to increase as Lemmy's popularity increases. It's either that or there will only be a couple of Lemmy instances that will dominate all of Lemmy.

Passwords.

I prefer password-less logins with a hardware key but only a few online services offer it.

[-] lemmyingly@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

You don't even create an account with them either.

Is there any point since there will be instances and websites that allow people to look you up? Not to mention there will be people who will archive everything on Lemmy. (Just like on Reddit)
