I stuck with PIA, mostly since I had no issues (software, connection wise) and it was just very very cheap

It seems like they have VPN services and they don't really care who uses them. Business doing business things

It can do some neat stuff but to me it has been pretty disappointing. Some stuff it has explained with real clarity and made understanding some stuff really simple. Even explained things from a viewpoint I hadn't considered before. But when I asked precise questions about things I know a lot about, it just outright confidently lied to me and told me I was wrong even though it had just moments before shared the hard facts it now contradicted fully. That kinda broke the spell and made me question everything the prompt returns to a degree that it's hard to use it for anything serious.

It does good summaries though and can concisely explain some simple stuff that I don't need to be verified. Shows promise but as a serious research tool wrangling it to reveal when it is lying and making it see that it's contradicting itself, that's just more work than doing the research myself.

I think some of them will just give more ammunition to the loonies since the chatbots happily give you wrong information

What kind of system that depends on centralized servers can ever be secure from government snooping?

With properly implemented E2EE it can be less of a problem because at least the message content isn't readable to them. Metadata though

Getting them from your repo might be preferable, you'll get the updates nicely too

Takes a bold man to play that word. Would be funny seeing people sweat to play it.

There's letters n i g g r on the table

"uhh, mmmm, I... I got nothing"

"My turn! I'll play E. NIGG..!"

"BOBBY NO!"

Love words?

You must — there are over 200,000 words in our free online dictionary, but you are looking for one that’s only in the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary.

Very cool Merriam-Webster
