I literally don’t know who you’re talking to anymore. Who is “you lot”? You’re arguing with a group of people you invented in your mind.

Now I think you might be a troll.

Is this comment implying that ICE will soon be under control of Democrats, which are being conflated with “the left”, and therefore these weapons will soon be under control of “the left”? Because if so, I disagree for many reasons.

I can confidently say that anyone who would support an armed working class uprising could not care less if it would result in the cancelation of a few shows, and certainly not the shows you mentioned. I think you have created a mental image of some stereotypical “liberal/leftist” that does not actually exist in reality, and certainly does not represent the person whose comment you replied to.

I get it, but can we not resort to name-calling? I don’t think it’s an effective form of persuasion.

Most people are not yet materially desperate enough to risk going to prison and ruining their lives.

What do either of those shows have to do with the comment you’re replying to?

Have you tried airvpn? I haven’t yet, but I’ve seen it recommended and it supports port forwarding.

Any reason not to use ivpn or airvpn? ivpn in particular seemed very privacy-focused with a pricing structure similar to mullvad when I looked at their website.

One of the owners made a huge donation to a right-wing, anti-immigration Swedish political party, I believe. Someone feel free to correct me on the details.

I’ve been looking at both ivpn and airvpn as potential replacements.

FWIW, I’m looking at ivpn as a potential replacement for mullvad. Haven’t done thorough research on the company yet but I’m impressed by their website.

Airvpn also seems good, but the people running it are much more anonymous so it feels more difficult (for me) to trust them. But if they’re really privacy activists then it’s understandable.

Do you have more info on how the company is structured? Everything I can find on their site just says it’s “employee-owned”, but I don’t know what that means.

Maybe they already have an iphone and are trying to make good use of it.

Just quickly skimming the article you linked, I’m not seeing evidence that wikipedia is “shit”, just that there have been many attempts by governments and other powerful people to influence its content, which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone given how popular it is. Are there examples you could point to of those attempts being successful? (Including particular examples you want to highlight in that article; again I only skimmed it on a small screen.)

It also seems strange to link to a wikipedia article to support the claim that wikipedia is shit.

Can’t you just bind qbittorrent to the VPN?

How does the topic consolidation work, exactly? Does it only consolidate cross-posts, or does it also consolidate all posts from communities that have exactly the same name? The only documentation I can find is at https://join.piefed.social/features/ which just says:

Consolidated Comments – View all comments from multiple related posts on one page (example).
