on Which VPN do you use and why? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 16 Sep 2026
Airvpn actually looks really good even though I’ve never heard of them. Cheap, has all the features I need and they have existed for a long time.

My bad for being the ublock shill here. But ublock doesn’t get infected by “please disable your adblocker” popups.

If you use ublock you can enable privacy filters and popup blockers. If you don’t use ublock you should! (it’s really good)

I’m pretty sure most sites just ignore this at least I don’t trust them not to. You should use u-block and enable the proper privacy filters (it can block cookie popups too)
betterfox shows a good list of privacy filters to setup.

on Stop the tracking circus. Kill the cookie banner! in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 12 Sep 2026
This is the main concern. Which is why using ublock with the right filters is so important as well. Although it still doesn’t protect from fingerprinting.

The alternative is exposing yourself to your isp. So it depends which one you trust more.
Either way with https and dns over https browser traffic and dns requests should be well hidden from the isp or vpn provider.

Doing it on tor would work.

But now your making yourself more obvious, and you need to tell google your address. Is it really worth it?

Do they though? They aren’t some kind of god how would they know your if you don’t tell them your address or someone else tells them for you?

on What's something people should buy today instead of tomorrow? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 29 Aug 2026
I suppose so. And by downloading more rare models you could be the one seeding torrents to others who didn’t!
I’ve just found out a lot of Chinese models are published to modelscope which seems to be a Chinese version of hugging face.

Downloading LLM’s because the US will censor them seams unlikely. Censorship will pretty much always be bypassable with vpn’s or tor.
Maybe I just don’t have the same threat model as you.

Closed source printers can still be flashed with open source firmware. Creality printers can be flashed with octoprint. Also since they aren’t connected to the internet they can’t force a bad update.

I took it as a joke, obviously meta will never divest or be required to divest there entire social media branch.

on Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge Youtube in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
I like the idea. My only gripe is it’s complexity for the average user. If there was a way to make it super simple. Torrent clients and trackers are way to complecated the average user.

I think we should be looking for decentralised alternatives not something prone to enshittification.

What would justify using them?
Many things, whatever reason a person that finds them useful has. A layer of abstraction just isn’t really a justification.

Interesting, I can see how the idea that llm’s are just another layer of abstraction like compilers. Although this doesn’t really justify using them and that unfunny joke of “I bet your code was written by a compiler” just doesn’t really make sense. It’s not like we should start writing all our code in python, for example.

Your question is confusing to me, I know what compilers are but I’m not sure how that is super related to llm’s. I was just saying that people use llm’s for reasons aside from generating code.
ooh wait nevermind, I realise what you meant now. Your comparing compilers to llm’s since they both are algorithms that turn an input into an output. Is this what you meant?

Your math is not mathing, 100/122,700,000=0.000000814995925% not 2%
Also this seems to be a vibe coded website and probably doesn’t use the most advanced fingerprinting techniques. Most likely your browser is actually unique if you go to https://amiunique.org/ you might get a more accurate answer.
It’s probably similar with all these new “high tech” cars. Although I would like to know, it’s a shame they only talked about it with one specific model from one specific brand.
They probably hoped people would infer it’s the same with all Chinese cars, but for some reason not western cars.
