I remember when streaming was super new and the service was AMAZING. As time passed; everything got much more expensive, movies and series were removed and now, even ads are displayed to you even though you pay for their service. The reason for the streaming service was BECAUAE of them having no ads. Now all streaming services has gone to shit :/ giving you 720p upscaled but saying its 1080 HD or 4k. Just lies.. Too expensive to pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services to get the movie you want to watch because one service doesn't have what you want to look at.

I have gotten a few family members and friends to use signal as I stated to them that this is the only way to get ahold of me. Other than this, you won't. And because of me, they decided to do so :P some haven't, but its up to them to decide.

A bit how the governments doesn't build more houses to meet the demand and make it more affordable but instead make anti homeless benches etc. Almost like it would stop people being homeless

I'm not from England, but damm this is absolutely terrible. England already has a LOT of cameras everywhere to track people. They work hard to try and track people everywhere. Hence why this is scary cause this might actually go through due to how anti-privacy they seem to be.

Here's a way to bypass it with uBlock Origin https://cybernotes.xyz/osint/Social_Media_Bypasses.html#reddit---network-security-block-bypass

Not only USA, but Chains and "Great" Britain as well. You saw how they magaged to get access to all encrypted data stored on Apple's servers within UK.

The politicians in power in Sweden, currently, explicitly said no to chat control 2.0 during the election process. They get voted.. And now they pushed it into the EU and are supporting it. Terrible.

I use MullvadVPN and i have never encountered this issue before. Hopefully won't need to either.

I'll tell you another weird detail I found out today.. A lot if my coworkers had their uBlock terminated by the chrome browser. I use Ubuntu with chromium because reasons and somehow, my uBlock is still active and working o.o it has not been terminated and I still get rid of those nasty YouTube ads.

Exactly. We have to think about the children..

Its jot the parents responsibility to be apart of their kids lives and bring them up properly. That responsibility have been pushed onto the governments so that they can leverage it against peoples right to privacy

Thank you. My fingers started to itch real badly! I use Arch by the way

You.. Are a solid dude. We need linux people like you that doesn't fight other Linux users just because what distro someone else enjoys. But actually can explain why certain distros are good or bad in a logical manner. Even offering to assist. Fair play to you <3

Welcome! Enjoy your stay

Personally, i would never get a free one. But mullvad have gained my trust. Especially as they have been raided, proved that what the LE wanted did not exist, and therefore by law they had to turn around and leave ^^

That's amazing! I didn't even notice that!

Ooh, one more thing. Reddit has two different blocks. One is this network security one. This is client side and therefore, uBlock can bypass it with ease. There's another one reddit has, but its server side and it shows up if malicious activity have exited from the same public IP your VPN is originating from. So simply changing your 'origin' is a solution in this case. However, the latter type of block is much more rare

As i recall, ALL apps in google play store, have to have some sort of google shit embedded into it. Therefore, its better to download something outside of google if you want to remain degoogled.

Because it's not Windows. So fed up with it. Used Debian. But as of late gotten annoyed with them and everything seems to lead me towards Arch. Dunno. We'll see. Just a bit scary to switch as I'm used with apt and not Pacman or whatever it's called :P Need to learn to make backup on the system in case something breaks etc

True. I am one of those. I just use duckduckgo or swisscows or brave search.

Never tried freetube, but tried LibreTube and NewPipe. However, I did settle on GrayJay made by Lewis Rossman. Can have many streaming services in one single app. YouTube, Twitch, Rumble, odyssey and as many as you'd like. Even has a community where people program other streaming services to be included, if you trust to install those too. Great platform ^^

I got disappointed in Ubuntu. You had to use 'Ubuntu Pro' to get the latest updates.. Bullshit :c Linux should not have a paywall in regards to security! I will test out Arch and see how it goes. Especially now when windows 10 loses support in October 16th

Lol, that moment you're tricked and press deny on the screenshot xD
