Fwiw there are a large number of people who volunteer their time and effort toward worthwhile projects. It's just they don't get rewarded anywhere near the level of benefit that they provide.

I agree with this. Self-hosting requires the user to understand their network, their software, how it all interacts.

If you provide a hardware product and call it a solution, people are going to expect a turn-key solution like a plug-and-play router.

You're going to end up supporting a bunch of newbies who, by no fault of their own, can't tell you an error code in the console let alone whatever UI you give them.

I think a better solution would be a course that walks newbies through self hosting.

I would agree that ublock is good but I have pihole so even on chrome I don't see ads. It's part of the reason why I still haven't moved. If I didn't have pihole I'd probably already have made the move.

I hate to say it but me too.

Chrome is my daily driver. Firefox Mobile needs major features that only exist in chrome for now.

Tab grouping is the biggest one. But if I could have multiple profiles on Firefox like I can on desktop I'd move today.

These are fucking kids. They are still learning what devices do and what their appropriate use is. If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush's computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

It's not lack of education.

It's lack of impulse control.

These are people writing laws about technology. They are absolute idiots.

I really don't know the architecture of fmovies but my guess is that it works similarly to sudo-lol but with specific providers instead of a long list of available providers.

Even still, I've wondered how those providers load new content since I've never seen a way for end users to upload new files.

Shows like Last Week Tonight get uploaded almost the same day.

Anyway, to answer your question, I think fmovies is back with their .lol tld though I've moved over to sudo.

There's always going to be a replacement because clearly there's a market for it. If only the people who actually hold the rights would realize that.

Differentiators? The idea behind the tor browser specifically is to make it harder to fingerprint you by giving trackers the exact same information for each browser session across all its users, making it harder to differentiate between one user and another.

Dyson's are overpriced pieces of shit. They are about gimmicks and often perform worse than other brands. What they lack in performance they make up in their advertising budget.

I personally have a Shark vacuum that I got on sale at Costco. It was $200 cheaper than the Dyson and much lighter.

It might depend on the VPN provider. If it's someone like Google, no way.

But Mullivad that has a proven track record of not keeping logs, that might be worth it.

I've also heard tor over i2p but don't know enough about the latter to have an opinion

The government is cagey about how, exactly, this criminal activity was unearthed, noting only that Herrera "tried to access a link containing apparent CSAM." Presumably, this "apparent" CSAM was a government honeypot file or web-based redirect that logged the IP address and any other relevant information of anyone who clicked on it.

It looks like a combination of bad opsec and clicking on a download link.

I know there has been some back and forth whether it's good to use a VPN with tor and feel like this is just going to open up that conversation again.
