I guess you would need a lot of proxies. And they probably need to be on Googles good side to keep their VPN extension in Chrome

I wonder if they’re using the (paid) Google and Brave APIs, and are running Leta as a loss leader, or if they have some way to get around it

Nord has been on my shit list ever since one of their servers got physically penetrated and they tried to slide it under the rug rather than notify users

I’m not going to lie, I’ve been burned by every free VPN I’ve used due to one scandal or another. I just gave up and pay for Mullvad when I need one. I haven’t done much research, but the Brave VPN is probably a decent free one. Or Tor, but it might not be what you’re looking for.

They’ve only made a standalone video addressing stuff a few times on their channel, the vast majority of the time they save it for WAN Show or at most a community post.

He said on the WAN show that when they dropped Honey a few years ago, the news was going around all over creator circles and a lot of other creators dropped them then too. And they didn’t make a video because at the time only the affiliate yoinking was known, and the audience would probably call them shills for making a video about how they’re losing money due to their audience saving money.

I don’t think his defense is 100% airtight, but it’s useful context.

AI bad grrrrr

I bought a ticket, thanks for the post. I don’t expect to win, but it’d be cool if I did and it’s a good excuse to send $10 to some cool projects

Is this similar to how Mozilla is set up?

I’m visually impaired so it’s entirely possible I missed them

I didn’t know until today that you could opt out of it

I’m testing out Linux on my laptop, October 13 my desktop moves over too.
