I want to call out one thing in case you didn't know.
The idea of a public VPN is to hide your traffic with other users who also use the VPN. If you're renting a VPS you don't get all the "benefits" of a public VPN. All you're doing is adding an extra hop to the internet, you're not mixing your traffic with others using the same IP. It's all you.... In fact, you're probably making it easier to isolate the things you do online because at home you could say a guest you had over must have downloaded it. If its the VPS, its all you.
If they ever use biometrics for this, mine are for sale. Cheap.... I'd like to know what happens when I can't use who I am as my ID because it's public.
Good news for the most part. This bit kind of sucks:
While baby boomers and Gen X men and women were largely aligned in their support, those attitudes diverged among millennials and especially Gen Z, the poll found, with more young women supporting LGBTQ2 issues than young men.
I had high hopes for my generation (millennials) and younger. We'd fix everything our parents did... Now I have doubts. "Live and let live" is such a low bar we should all be able to do.
