  • seems pretty epic to me! :p

  • left me stunlocked with this one icl

  • on the surface they do a lot right. warrant canary, no logs, solid infrastructure, profitable.

    for me, i really don't like the weird ways that they market. super misleading to imply that they make a person "anonymous" and/or greatly improve your privacy beyond you sending them your information instead of your isp. i also really dont like the lack of transparency, particularly with closed-source clients. i also really don't like the number of controversies that nord has been in, even insofar as getting hacked. i don't want my vpn provider to have any, let alone quite a few, of these controversies.

    in terms of the model, proton is transitioning to a non-profit which reinforces why they are so well-regarded by the community. long history of doing right by consumers, where it matters most.

  • best post on here in ages, im in love

  • anyone know what kind of snails these are? i want one

  • my bad, i misunderstood. thanks.

  • i don't think we disagree in a vacuum but bringing that up in the context of this particular thread is probably unhelpful

  • beehaw is a safe-space, we shouldnt villify the experiences/needs of people who need alt-text. this could be game changing for people who need it.

  • Months ago you mentioned a Bumble-like app designed specifically for queer people, do you remember it? 👀 A person could post about events like a queer cinema night out.

  • so cool man, thanks for sharing this

  • if it makes you happy, use the term. no need to get caught up in all this nonsense unless you see it's hurting somebody (which im sure it isnt) :p

  • i doubt you'll get banned lol, it's probably not that deep to the admins.

    if anyone is concerned about it, just open the instance ToS and ctrl+f "name". im sure it's not important.

  • i did not know any of this, thanks for sharing

  • Twitter's short link service, t.co, is adding a five-second delay to some domains. Like threads.net

  • i think you should read the replies to the hackernews post, there's some interesting discussion there with more nuance. particularly the thread started by user "kens"

  • just a comment to try get this to the active tab. best of luck guys <3

  • not to come off overly negative- steve also does great work. i hope we hear from LMG soon <3

  • not to cast doubt on anything he says here, but steve has increasingly been making 'dunk' videos for the past year or two. i feel like his channel has been trying to find (or create) exposés, because those are the videos that pop off. starting from the video of that NZXT case that caused fires.

    again, not to cast doubt on the experiences of billet labs, but i question steve's intentions in presenting this. i hope this discussion doesn't end up revolving around gamers nexus.

  • i just tried this and got a more fence-sitting result of "here are the pros and cons, there should be public discussion before we know if it's good or bad".

    but your result is fascinating.
