People often say Odysee is a good alternative but it was acquired by Google so it has the same issue as Youtube. Then there is Rumble but it's a much poorer experience and somewhat of an echo chamber but that seems to be changing as a

Ah yes, National Eat a Cranberry Day. My favorite holiday. Thanks for contributing to the conversation.

Seems like it was a good idea but we couldn't afford to give a fascist a win. For the sake of democracy or something.

I use NameCheap. I would never use a company like Google where I can't at least call and talk to someone. Also, there are stories like this where someone gets their Google account locked for some random reason and all of the sudden you

Wow, this takes me back. Boffo Games made one of my favorite PC games, Hodj ‘n’ Podj for Windows 95. Which amazingly can be played online when I'm feeling nostalgic: https://classicreload.com/win3x-hodj-n-podj.html

I wasn't going to have kids for the same reasons. My son wasn't planned but he and his siblings are the best thing that ever happened to me and not having kids would have been the greatest mistake I would have ever made. Guess you

@kelnos I agree what happened was tragic and can't imagine but my comment was to @basedgod, the OP of this comment thread whose comment was so vulgar and devoid of care of the value of human life that it was flagged into the sun. His r

To OP: @basedgod > "health insurance shouldn't mean we'll do whatever it takes to keep somebody alive no matter what" Yeah, I bet when it comes to your own healthcare you'll want your provider to do whatever it t

I wonder if a VPN was involved. They probably have a set of red flags with different weights. Something tells me a VPN is a big red flag for them when it comes to new signups.

I think they avoid Linux support to prevent people like me from putting it on my Linux server. They also don't allow Windows Server to run it either. But hey, you can always use something like Goodsync and B2.

I hate Facebook but you've got a solid point. Youtube still hasn't fixed Elsa-gate. And Apple is hostile to any serious parental control apps that would fix their issues.

Unfortunately we already know. They will just double down on their failed policies. Because the alternative would be to admit failure and they would rather people suffer than to ever do that.

Polarize much? Let's just go back to the general population not trusting the government or any politician regardless of party affiliation. They're all corrupt and ignorant, it's a basic requirement.

You mean militarize it against people you don't like but what about when it's turned back on you. Once an agency is weaponized and it neutralizes all foes, you can't just turn the machine off, you have to keep feeding it unti

I don't think it's quite malicious but if I'm a mod and it's common to suppress anything election related then I could see that applying here. But according to the comment you linked their algorithm only targets upvote&#

Interesting, this is blowing up and should be on the frontpage but something tells me HN has it's own algorithm or super-mods that are demoting anything that they'd prefer not be discussed. Ironic. Also sucks because I used to lov

"Keep in mind that this isn't a complete list." Yeah, so why even give us a list. Just keep striking videos and youtubers for no clear reason. The hoops people have to hop through with copyright, politics, etc is getting craz

Does the IP on the instance change on a regular interval? Or do you have to request it? I use VPNs to protect against tracking. If the IP is mostly static then using it as a defense against tracking is useless.

by good8675309 5y ago
Private server? So all of your traffic comes from the same ip? That defeats the purpose of the VPN.

Pretty sure he's talking about a "'slippery slope' that did not come to fruition" in the context of technology. Not politics. Let's stay on topic here.

If you agree to a contract and then break the terms of the contract why would you be surprised when things aren't covered? It's the same thing with insurance companies. Also, many of these examples are broad generalizations that m

People voluntarily join health sharing groups. They are run by non-profits, some of which have no religious affiliation.

I think instead of using a blanket statement and calling them all scams, the OP should have said that some are scams. That goes for pretty much any service out there. Here's a site with over 900 reviews of different health sharing comm

Scams? They paid for my $6000 colonoscopy which caught early cancer, my daughters stitches, my wife's allergy specialist, my son's rocky mountain spotted fever, etc. etc. $500/mo for our family of 5 and we've been on it
