Lulwut? When did /r/TD start leaking into Lemmy. Did any of what you said have anything to do with what I said?

Are you feeling alright, man?

Edit: seriously leaning towards 'bot' at this point. Humans that find their way into Lemmy have generally been much more capable, and much less MGTOW

I love this, so much. Blue Links have been the most critical pass to my future, across my entire life.

Purple links often, too. I can't imagine surrendering the ability to sift through information with my own eyes and hands and brain.

The internet was founded on the sponsorship model where content was free and ads were ubiquitous. while I completely agree with you that I would rather pay for the product instead of being the product, at this informs every single sign up I make on the internet, I think it's self deluding to think there's any great again to go back to. The philosophy was always there, the execution just wasn't possible until they had finished building their walled gardens

Full-fat VPS and roll-your-own proxy solutions are wonderful! Can you recommend a vps service that gives you the global access and a workspace for you to build your tools for your toolkit?

Most I've priced were either more than $6usd /month or were very, very over-provisioned, but I'm interested in learning!

Something strange happened in the last decade, wherever one has 300 emotional support tabs and browsers had to create really elaborate tab groups and memory management for juggling stacks upon stacks of tabs.

I don't think anyone actually uses bookmarks anymore, except you, me, about any 3000 misc nerds.

Can I ask what has you subscribing toVPN's year round? I have three use cases for my subscription

1. Torrenting
2. Bypassing weird region locks like South Korea's age verification requirements for Google searches and naughty things.
3. Throwing all of my internet traffic back to the same country as my employer with a reliable kill switch for any VPN drops and DNS leaking.

I end up subscribed to Mullvad for maybe 5 months a year. I still end up paying less than a NordVPN subscription, I feel good about supporting Mullvad's mission (like the ongoing development of their own browser).

I also love that I can share my subscription with other users if I needed to, just by giving them current account ID number. In this way, it would be practical to give up to five people access while still protecting all of my devices since I throw the VPN on my travel router.

I will schill for a very short list of companies, all day long, and Mullvad would be on that list twice simply because they don't trick me into an endless subscription of any sort while all the others get committed income out of me annually.

Exception when gargling orange.

Important thing is Musk can't sing Billy Joel's 'We didn't start the fire'

I didn't even know that they claim Chrome extensions will work, I simply use the Firefox extensions in Waterfox.

My browsing style is antiquated, my ADHD will only afford me about eight tabs per browser window and I usually have about four of those going at a time.

I aggressively kill tabs to save my own mental memory more than the machine's memory.

Is St Elmo's Fire made of Li-Ion or Life-Po?

It's like $6.50USD /month, 2x the cost of mainstream vpn's.

It's valuable for me so I'm happy to pay and support them, but I'm mostly only need them while traveling.
