Google needs to be broken up at least as much as the oil and railroad companies did a century ago.

This is probably the biggest truth right now, and applies to almost all the big tech corps.

Can clearly see the Salmonella grinning from inside of that...enclosure..

Why call it a "gambit" anyway ? Are we expecting that the opponent will not give in to our _passionate trap and will leave the table, leaving us kissing the air with our eyes closed and looking like _{Hans Niemann} a stupid ?

Thank you for creating this awesome Android client for an equally awesome FOSS place (Lemmy). I am a regular user of your Voyager app on my Android phone, and I use it together with Jerboa (which is still there in my phone as the OG app for Lemmy, no offences to Voyager, lol).

The only two features that I think are lacking in voyager and will make it the best are -

(1) Show the Avatars of profiles. Currently they are not displayed.

(2) More text editing options - not just limited to Bold and Italics - please add options to strikethrough texts and quote something to reply. I do know the keyboard shortcuts for these, but having dedicated editing buttons for them would be amazing !

Once again, thanks for this awesome app !

However, I would probably trust a provider more if there has been an actual case where police tried getting the logs and the VPN provider gave them nothing

That literally is what happened with Mullvad.

I know. It's Extremely Infuriating. But I found only one community for Extremely Infuriating that appears to be a ghost town.

Which is why I posted this here.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments... but another bad guy worth hating is

Hewlett Packard.

Their

"Hey, you need to have our proprietary ink cartrige in your HP inkjet printer plus scanner to print AND to scan as well. The scanner won't work when you are out of ink"

Is just plain fuckery.

Over zoom I hope...

I am waiting for the day when governments will have had enough of him (unless he bought those governments because that fucker is fucking rich) - and "Elon Musk" becomes "Felon Musk".

Thanks bro. Here's two more Bad Stevies....

I am sure there are good Steves out there, but first spez and then this waste of oxygen ? Cursed Steves !! /s

Really bad news, and so ignorant of me. Thanks for the enlightenment btw !

Yucky enough ? :-D

Yeah I agree. Let them die alone, thinking about Alien abduction and crop circles.

It depends on the booger itself. If it's a dry one, I just pinch it into a ball and flick it across the room. If it's one of those wet, sticky, semi-solid ones, I rub it between my thumb and index finger until most of the moisture is removed and the booger is determined to be flickable without being a little bastard and just sticking to one of my nails.

I do. Almost always. And there are three main reasons for it.

(A) Hassle free prep. Hot water and stirrer, bam!

(B) No waste/by-products (e.g. filter, brewed coffee granules residue, blah blah) - so much less carbon footprint.

(C) A cup of instant coffee has slightly less caffeine content than the same cup of freshly brewed coffee. Good for me, because I have been a caffeine-addict, and trying to cut down now.

So I always try to go for Freeze-dried instant coffee ( especially Colombian, like Juan Valdez ), and not the Spray-dried shit.

Edit : I thank max and the OP for enlightening me about the instant coffee manufacture process. It surely appear that Instant coffee has a lot more environmental impact than simple ground coffee because of more processes involved. I have always consumed instant coffee, but were totally ignorant on this part. Dumb of me.

Thanks to the people directing me to the right way, and I will strike out my second point above.

"Stilted"?

You sir, are one of those fucking amazing people who profusely apologize for not being a native English speaker and then blurt out 37 paragraphs of perfect English.

You have nothing to be ashamed of - your English is better than a lot of them native speakers ! And always remember this :

"You are speaking English because that is the only language you know; I am speaking English because that is the only language you know. We are not the same."

And as to your original question - if I ever ask them "what evidence did you see which proves X happens?", I have almost always been hit with the reply, "Oh yeah? What proof do you have that says X does not happen???". And then I tell them the anecdote of the Invisible Dragon by Carl Sagan. Look it up if this is new to you, and for a more formal treatment, check out Karl Popper's theory of Falsifiability.

I have personally converted at least one conspiracy theorist to being an Agnostic. So I know it works. Try them out, it's fun.

And I also am not a native English speaker to be honest :-)

Thanks! Appreciate the response.

I guess I should have mentioned in my original post that when I say "exit node", I specifically mean multi-hop. My bad.

But even for Single hop as well, the world sees that VPN IP as my IP (although they probably don't know it's "me"), but

(a) Can my ISP map me with that VPN IP ("my" IP to the world's eyes) and

(b) Can my ISP see the traffic that's going out of that VPN IP ? My guess is no, unless that VPN server also uses the same ISP as me (but I'm dumb so feel free to correct me)
