This article is also only applicable to EU, where (as your link mentions) alternative browsers don't need to be WebKit. Chrome and Firefox are already working on switching.

You need to meet more young people they don't know either specifically because companies like google and apple try to obscure competition by making their way seem like the only way.

Amateur advice. Don't own your own device. ask your friends to look up things for you on their devices, then print them out and mail them to your PO Box. Untraceable.

I don't agree that Wikipedia used to be the only place. There were plenty of competing encyclopedias, it was simply the best long-term.

That's a good comparison I hadn't honestly thought of! Thanks

5 euros a month. Worth it, it's by far the best VPN.

Anyone using a work or school Chromebook is, actually.

It had a leak a few years back. Not a huge one, but it'd add up on devices that had a ton of tabs or were always on.

Discord has real advantages over many of those, and communities are slow to pick up and move. It'll take either a very bad decision from discord or a good competitor. I want that competitor to be Matrix, but it's far from perfect.

I like how gaps make things feel a little less cluttered, and show off the colors of my wallpaper. Same reason I use i3 with gaps on. It feels like everything is nicely organized instead of shoved together. In the end it's just an aesthetic preference.

Or tape over the camera hole.

One thing to consider is that it's not just hosting a site, it's all the work they do to do the DRM removal and the repack. That takes time, which might be time they could be using to earn money. So getting some money from their work can help incentivize it.

Hard to say what that actually boils down to for each person, if they're not releasing any expenses info (site costs, time spent per project, etc). If you're thinking about donating, I'd think of it more as a "thank you" gift for their work than anything else, and give an amount you wouldn't miss.
