I’m sure they will be back… will take the w tho.

Sad to see, but I never really used it. I don’t even know how they can combat this. The amount of bots/AI accounts everywhere is unprecedented.

Very insightful and well written! These Age verification laws are going too far and were never about the kids to being with.

I’ve never heard of Amnezia VPN, but agree with Mullvad. ProtonVPN is also up there

I personally don’t have GrapheneOS, but as far as I know, Google Pay doesn’t work, but banking apps should (from what I’ve read)

Just don’t travel there lol

I agree with the Trump thing kinda being blown out of proportion, but I haven’t heard about the vibe coding part? I know there was one point where they used ChatGPT for something and were called out for the irony of it, but I don’t think they are majorly vibe coded. Because everything is open source, and they routinely get audited, I trust them enough to use their products. I do agree however, that not having all your eggs in one basket is a better ideology from a security standpoint. From a convenience standpoint (and wife factor), I pay for everything Proton :P.

Ahh yes, I remember the whole controversy. I still think Proton as an ecosystem, and a product are still great for what they are, and for promoting privacy regardless of what Andy said using the official Proton account. (negative IQ play).

Regardless, GrapheneOS is still the staple in terms of limiting, or out right removing Google from your phone.

Why do you say not the best move for Proton?

You could always make a community here around it :)

Thanks for the heads up! I guess I meant using an RSS feed from somewhere else, like RFD, or the actual BAPC subreddit so it auto posts here in my community.

Meanwhile, Canada’s housing supply is running thin!

My adblocker keeps tabs of how many trackers it blocked and Reddit was always the highest culprit of trackers. This doesn’t surprise me, but I do not have/use facebook,snapchat,tiktok or instagram to compare it to.

Thanks for making this Canadian instance :) I first created my account on Lemmy.ml, but also made one here since I am Canadian. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow as a whole, and see more Canadians join the Fediverise :)

For anyone interested, I’ve made a community for posting PC hardware/accessory sales (r/bapcsalescanada). Feel free to join and contribute. And if you know how to create an RSS feed, also let me know!

First off, congrats on being clean! Such a huge accomplishment! I’m going to ask a few questions: -How did you start? -What was your rock bottom moment? -What was the convincing factor that made you get clean?
