UBO and custom DNS works for me in FF. Sometimes I still get blocked so off to an Invidious instance I go (and they’re ad-free too) to watch whatever content I was trying to view.

ETA lots of people use DNS to proxy to Albania which yt doesn’t run ads for that region, they report it works fine but I haven’t tried it personally

ARC Raiders looks way better anyhow.

You mean like the increase to capital gains tax Carney killed in his first few days as acting PM? He wasted no time letting his crew at Stripe and Shopify know who he gets shit done for.

lmao

It’s probably pretty obvious when terabytes of upload are accrued over a few days like what OP mentioned, by seeding 24/7.

Like most any paid VPN service they need to track bandwidth usage somewhat. They can’t see what you’re accessing but they can see how much of whatever it is. Windscribe also offers a free 10gb/mo plan so they do track it for that purpose as well, much like any VPN with a free tier would.

Saw a yt thing last night that over the past three months Tesla execs have sold over 175k shares too

CopWatch used to be pretty active and has apps for iOS and Android, but I see they haven’t been updated in a couple of years.

Walmart also partnered with Klarna if that means anything to folks reading this. I’ve seen for years companies like Affirm (AFRM) being backed heavily by Shopify (they have exclusive deals at this point and AFRM is one of Klarna’s direct competitors). The BNPL universe is coming for everything, including basic necessities like food now I guess. Affirm is also close with Amazon.

If you turn it on its side it’s a tunnel.

Check out Way Down Town filmed in and about Calgary’s +15 urban walkway system. Hilarious film.

• 404 Media - The folks who used to do the Cyber podcast before they left VICE and are doing far better work, indy.
• Better Offline - Another tech podcast by Ed Zitron. He loves tech and can’t stand how fucked up the tech-bros are making the whole thing, at our collective expense.

I’ve always liked Commento which can be self hosted, and you can set it up to be no sign-up/anon for users.

Shopify is already long gone. More pointing out how corruption follows the money. Nobody in sales of a top company is unaware of the fuckery going on inside said company.

A middle ground I do often is buy frozen pizzas and then add my own extra toppings. They’re usually so cheap and skimp anyhow that I look at it like buying a starter pizza shell.

Everybody poops

lemme.ee doesn’t

Just watched this on YT (unrelated to this post) and it’s a fantastic upload. They’re already achieving 1m/hr drilling speed which stomps traditional bit-drill tech by a lot. And they can go way deeper.

Given that all Lemmy instances are run by private individuals you should probably think about using a vpn (or dns proxy at the very least) to obfuscate your true location and data. This applies to any mainstream or corporate social media platform, obv.

They’re anti-tax and pro-tarif. They’ve been firing Canadian support workers and devs for years and outsourcing overseas. And they’ve been hiding money in places like Ireland (a tax haven) by opening hubs there.

They are only still in Canada on paper at this point anyhow. Fuck them, go hang out with the wall street bros.

You really seem to know what you’re talking about so I probably don’t have to link you to the article about Fanta which Coca-Cola (as you say, listed on the US Stock Exchange) made the “drink of the nazis” and profited bigtime from.

IBM had major contracts with the nazis and developed some of the earliest rudimentary card computing tech to keep track of all the interred jews in the camps. I bet you knew that as well. IBM wouldn’t be around today without those contracts and that early tech (and the money it brought in).

What the actual fuck do you have against potted plants that you would use that as an insult anyway.
