It's appreciated anyway <3

I read the article, and adding it to my watch list was the first thing I did with this information.

OP is the real Slim Shady.

Saddest not-the-onion article I have seen here yet tbh. :/

I fully agree with that and I think there's been a misunderstanding. I was simply critiquing the actual phrase. Not trying to claim that the free vpns are in any way reliable or should EVER be trusted. I really did just mean that the phrase itself in (imo), quite problematic overall because if the inherent messaging that the only trustworthy distributers and maintainers of software are for-profit and any other model must be predatory. It completely undermines any proposal of FOSS being valid and safe. Which I think we can all (on the fediverse) agree is something we shouldn't purpetuate as a genralization. That was all I was trying to say.

I will start out by saying I was not the person who downvoted you, and while I also agree that anyone can run a honeypot obviously, that phrase IS inherently pro-corporation and capitalist. If you wrote out in it's entirely what it means, it's arguing that you can't trust anyone with your security unless they're a business you're paying. Which is objectively encouraging people to side with capitalism over the open source and community based internet. Which is really the only reason why I point out the flaw in that phrase. The phrase is as inherently political as privacy itself is.

Laughs in FOSS

Related: I motion that we really should stop using that advice so blanketly, and instead say "If the product is free and run by capitist entities, you're the product."

Thank you for marking as satire. At first glance, I was fully ready to accept this as a genuine part of the actual fuckery that takes place in Netflix-land.

Not all kinksters like leather!

I mean... I do like leather..

But it's not because I'm a kinkster!

(But in all seriousness, many of us, myself included, don't really like leather very much. The leather thing is a very stereotypical portrayal. That being said, it IS the best collar material imo.)

No, I beleive that is just a snowflake proxy, which basically is just used when somebody first connects to the tor network to hook them up to an entrance node. So your computer is not actually acting as a node but rather an intermediary. I would also suggest not using Brave browser because I have heard bad things about it's owner and just their general policies. Many people say that brave browser is really just privacy cosplay. You can just get a copy of firefox and manually harden it yourself using noscript and a vpn. Or skip that and just use tor browser for all your privacy intensive stuff.

DO. NOT. TEST. INTELLIGENCE BUILDS.Stick to claws, fangs, venom, etc.

Don't support the capitalist agenda, it's not gay if it's just mutual aid.
