You wanna change a nice dog because is not useful to your needs? You don't deserve a dog.

Seriously, like, actually seriously, I want to believe that this time everyone will leave Discord, and not just a small group of weirdos like us who “care about privacy” and ended up on Lemmy.

Install another browser like Librewolf (ublock included) or Brave. That's it, say good-bye to the ads, and not only in Youtube. In Android use Youtube Revanced. In Android TV (Nvidia shield, google TV, etc) use SmartTube.

And don't use the "ads-company" browser in the future if you don't like ads.

We are not worth 150k USD

If companies like OpenAI were more astute, they would recognize that they can accumulate sufficient information to compete in other markets and evolve into technology firms capable of outpacing their competitors. If managed properly, they could even frame it as a form of reverse engineering. And if everything related to AI were truly just a bubble that eventually burst, it would make little difference whether they began as AI companies, since their ultimate purpose could shift over time. And yes, I am being ironic with “if they were more astute,” because I believe that what I am describing is clearly already being considered.

If you like one spy over another, be my guest. I think companies that spy are not worth it at all.

ExpressVPN is a Chinese govt aproved company... do all audits you want. You need trust. Audits doesn't matter. They can change everything after. I trust IVPN and Mullvad

VPS VPN hides you from ISP but VPS IP still shows to peers → worst case: abuse email/suspension. Use WireGuard, not OpenVPN: faster, leaner, modern crypto. No compression, full-tunnel + DNS leak protection, firewall to block non-VPN traffic, minimal logs. If host’s fine with P2P, you’re set.
