I'm seeing it more going the other way. Over the past few years so many services have been bought by bigger corps or even media companies. These bigger companies seem to be able to undercut the competition. Causing things like this I g

I posted this on Reddit and saw a fair amount of people getting Whooshed. I don't expect anyone here to fall for it to be fair!

Congrats to the team. It's proven itself beyond useful time and time again.

Reminds me of the "Songs of Innocence" U2 debacle. You get less and less control over what you can do with Apple. They run a good PR game but they really like to micro manage so much.

Absolutely. The misinformation in this space is risking yet another greater amount of lives now than it was before. It's OK for those of us in countries with freedoms afforded to us by democracy. It's a nightmare for those who are

It's also because there's power in being able to influence when people see something. It's harder to spot when that occurs when your timeline isn't chronological.

Sorry mate. Missed this. My ability to get distracted with physical things have a limit. I'll tidy up, do some chores, then once I've expended that I'll get on with whatever I need to focus on.

Windscribe have unlimited devices. I think a lot of VPNs know that it's a bullshit tactic to sell more accounts but can't turn that revenue down. They know first hand that people will share accounts rather than just purchase a new

Tried that in China. Didn't work. It's OK when we're in the west but in any country that blocks the internet or censors it you're in trouble. Shadowsocks used to be my go to in China when the AWS trick got killed.

Mullvad, IVPN, AIRVPN, Windscribe or Tunnelbear. I wouldn't trust any other.

The author sent me this awhile ago. It's messed up how much fake information there is.

Thanks for that I've always been curious myself. I love the design of these.

The C64 was the first computer I ever owned. I'm thrilled to see people are still finding ways to keep it alive haha.

A lot of people talk in broad strokes because if you use their marketing platforms you can see exactly what data is being mined. You can posit their ideological, political, and personal stances. Their friends, family, and pay more to reach

I used to scoff at things like Windscribe's ROBERT which does similar things for social sites, clickbait, gambling sites, porn etc... Thinking it's more like a child blocker. But I've had battles with addiction and issues mys

Absolutely. I know this is unrelated to the psychological side of things but for the company I'm with I often have to reach out to charities or NGOs. I absolutely hate badly designed sites with infinite scroll when I'm simply tryi

Pretty sad way to live your life to be honest. Healthy discussion and reflection is what stops you turning into a pillock and more people need it.

That's good to know and you sound pretty earnest to be honest.

That's crazy. I wonder which company get the kickback for having these installed in newbuilds? Bet you'll find a link there.

Good find OP. That was a real breakdown there worth reading.

Is this true? I had a friend who was meant to come over from Russia to the UK to visit in a few weeks. That's fucked. Best of luck to you mate. I know it can't be easy right now :/

No idea if this is legit yet but I'm following it up. Can see this causing a lot of bloody drama in the future if it is.

You've conveyed it rather well. I was brought up with a C64 but it was the same for me. Having to sneak around to get online when everyone else was in bed...then staying up way too late and getting flak in the morning for still being u
