Not even Windows can run all Windows games, so that’s kind of a hard criteria for Linux to achieve.

People buy specially supported PCs for Linux?

Doing a “hack simulator” would likely be easier in other languages, so you will hopefully run into some problems regarding acquiring and presenting the information, which I imagine would give you a decent understanding of the flow of data in python.

I’d say “Go for it”, doesn’t sound too advanced and not “hello world”-simple either.

I’m too stupid to walk backwards through the 4th one, so I guess I only experience 3.5 dimensions.

Haven’t seen that behavior myself yet, but yes, that does sound like either a bug or shadowbanning.

Excuse me for not being able to help.

I’ve encountered a few times where the post or a parent comment got deleted, which also appears to hide any sub-comments.

Might that be it?

Are you assuming that Google, which, as far as I’m aware, is an international company providing service to a multilingual userbase, has less than 1% non-native English speaking users?

I mean, I don’t care much how Google advertises itself, even companies I do like sometimes make an unlucky promotion and that’s fine, but I do find the arguments in this comment thread to make some wild assumptions.

That just expands the question: do they not know about other countries?

Many of us have certain connotations with google, and while we know the game in our native language, it’s not the first thing we think about when thinking “Google says: I spy”.

I’m pretty sure almost no nerds use chatgpt, as chatgpt kinda takes the nerdiness out of the nerd.

Script kiddy might fit better, looking at stackoverflow from the past half year.

Gel, shampoo, balsam, shaving foam/cream, and roll-on deo from Neutral/Minirisk. Simple, cheap, safe. And the best thing? It doesn’t trigger any allergies.

Though, I do use aftershave from Matas, and oil from ecooking.

I think that covers most of my self-care products.

PIA being owned by the same scammy company as ExpressVPN does not necessarily mean that it itself also is bad, but one should keep an open eye on them.

Like I said, I haven’t found any evidence that ExpressVPN sells their customer data, even though it might be likely.

Thank you, but I already know that study.

My problem is, that while it makes a satisfying click noise and temporarily feels good, it also sometimes becomes itchy or perhaps slightly painful afterwards, and I just don’t like that feeling.

Yes, but I’m trying to wean myself off of it. Partly because it feels like destructive behavior, and partly because it must be annoying for others to constantly listen to me cracking my knuckles.

Thank you very much, we should always strive to back up claims with relevant links and data, no matter if it’s common sense or how trivial it might seem.

While the quote and linked paper give a good picture of the VPNs and their controversies, such as ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, and PIA being under ownership of a less-than-trustworthy company which also happens to be specialized in malware and surveillance, I did not find anything that directly supported @spudwart@spudwart.com’s claim.

The only controversy (except questionable ownership) I could find in the article was a few paragraphs lower regarding the Andrey Karlov assassination, where ExpressVPN denied the existence of logs but investigators somehow still managed to extract a serial number of a computer(?) after a datacenter raid. Not sure if I got that right, but it would fit the established profile from this comment chain:

ExpressVPN, on the other hand, told investigators it did not have any logs or customer data on a server in Turkey, which was raided by Turkish authorities, according to Hurriyet Daily News. According to the site, authorities said the server was used to hide details regarding an assassination of a Russian ambassador. ExpressVPN released a statement about the incident.

It’s almost midnight here, so please correct me if I missed something.

Oh, and nice paper, has a good, natural flow and appears to keep technical jargon to a level where anyone should be able to draw well informed conclusions.

Thank you for the heads-up. Do you have any articles about this?

Expressvpn is about 10$ a month, so 5$ would definitely be an improvement.

That is the world we currently live in.

Quite some work left to do to achieve a sociaty with universal basic income, if even the technologies developed for the purpose are twisted and used against it.

Dunno about Bluetooth, but isn’t Expressvpn pushing their new password manager? I imagine it’s a separate app, but if not, then it would make sense to have camera to read 2FA QR-codes.

And most important, don’t look at your phone or have the TV or computer running in the background. They take focus away from doing nothing.

Going for frequent walks might also work if sitting still is not your thing.

Hell, if the Amaricans and Vietnamese can call a girl “Kim”, then we can call a boy “Jennifer” and say we got inspired.
