mullvad with quantum secure encryption enabled, or proton with port forwarding turned off.

Don’t believe the bullshit about port forwarding, port forwarding is a security hole. People can maliciously plant things on your system if you have port forwarding enabled.

Qbittorrent, set it to only put traffic through your VPN’s network adapter.

Sorry…I just blacked out…Did I say anything just now? You should never pirate anything, that would be immoral.

PanArab, in Why the hell did that stop

A lot of anti-user design choices were first introduced by the iPhone. As someone who has owned iPhones since the iPhone 3G, I blame myself.

Cool_Name, (edited ) in Why the hell did that stop

I use an HTC TCL vive. I can text, place phone calls, and barely take a picture, but god damn it I can replace the battery.

PanArab, in It's just a coffee

I don’t mind Xbox Game Pass when there’s a deal on it for $1 but I make sure not to auto renew

chiliedogg,

I only buy it with redemption codes, so it can’t auto-renew.

FunderPants,

This is gong to sound nuts, but subscriptions aren’t a problem for me, auto renewals are. I like to be in control of my finances, so whenever I sign up for something I pick a term I can live with, 1,3, 6 or 12 months, I pay, and I immediately go to the account management screen and cancel.

I don’t care if it’s inconvenient to have to think about it every so often, but I’m in control of the spending and to me that’s what matters.

Is paying via credit card with auto renewals the only payment method companies provide you? That’s pretty bad, I’d say.

Because, considering what you are having to do RN, it means that they can simply change a policy and next time you pay, you might find out the “account management screen and cancel” becomes unavailable.

There has to be a way to pay without having to give your credit card details… e.g. The payment gateway sends a request to your bank; your bank asks you for confirmation for one time payment; you confirm payment; the bank sends acceptance to request; payment gateway captures it and gives you your bill.

Zink,

See, game pass I’m cool with because it’s an up-front transparent deal that you are buying time to access this library, and the library also changes. There is no pretense of “buying a copy” or whatever.

It’s nice for modern games anyway. For classic stuff that I want to have access to forever, I alreadty have access to that stuff forever. It might stink for the kids who are playing their “classics” right now, though.

Does anyone remember them being called Mandela Effects?

It’s another timeline shift!

TheAlbatross, in Mandela Affect

What’s the Mandela uhhh Effected thing here?

Cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo

TheAlbatross,

Is the effected part that the logo used to lack the cornucopia?

bishoponarope,

It lacks the cornucopia now, and from what I’ve gathered it is allegedly due to a sale and rebrand to distance the company from an ecological disaster.

TheAlbatross,

I had some fruit of the loom underwear growing up, and while I can’t remember if the logo had a cornucopia or not, I do remember the material sucked

Jackthelad,

Shit pants, essentially.

Ranvier,

It’s never had the cornucopia in the logo.

www.snopes.com/…/fruit-of-the-loom-cornucopia/

It’s pretty common for people’s brains to want one to be there for some reason though. My guess is because we’ve seen so many similar pictures of fruit or vegetables spilling out of a cornucopia that we misremember and merge similar pictures.

XEAL, (edited ) in Mandela Affect

Another common Mandela Effect is when people mistakenly write the word “effect” with an “a” instead of an “e”

KingJalopy,

That effect doesn’t affect me.

It doesn’t effect me either.

Piracy is wrong and immoral! You should never use mullvad or proton with port forwarding off to pirate things!

MadBigote,

mullvad dropped port forwarding a few months ago. AirVpn on the other side…

EmperorHenry,
@EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

port forwarding isn’t necessary and it’s a security hole…not that I would ever pirate anything, that would be immoral!

Blackmist,

Well somebody needs an open port, otherwise you ain’t downloading anything.

MadBigote,

I agree with that. I was just clarifying that Mullvad no longer offers port forwarding.

When I searched duck duck go image search for Fruit of the Loom, the cached image for their official website includes the cornucopia. When you click into it though it’s not there. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING!

xia,

I guess they are hiding… a… cornucopia?

Thcdenton, in Me: Does literally anything, My Dog:

Its so funny watching my brother to farmer carries around the back yard with his dopey pup right next to him, looking up and grinning.

KoalaUnknown, (edited ) in It's just a coffee

I pay for Apple Music Student ($6), a VPN ($2), and extra iCloud storage ($1). 100% worth it in my opinion.

Ross_audio,

So long as you have an exit plan.

The student price is a deliberate ploy to get reliant customers then jack the price up. (Not just Apple, but definitely Apple.)

KoalaUnknown, (edited )

Unfortunately, there isn’t really an exit plan. Buying the music outright is not worth it because of how many different artists I listen to so I will probably always be paying for Apple Music or Tidal.

It’s only 4 dollars more a month and I will have a real job to pay for it.

    What environmental disaster did am underwear company create? Was it bleech and dye related?

    Ranvier, (edited )

    One, fruit of the loom bought that company after this event happened (were not owners during the event), they became liable by buying them. Two, that has nothing to do with a coronocupia being in the logo, there is no good evidence of a cornucopia ever being in the logo, that was just a tik toker driving up views by trying to link it to the more popular mandela effect thing. Removing a small section of a logo to cover up a chemical spill? That makes absolutely zero sense (not to mention it’s not exactly covered up, it’s on the epa website). But good on them for spreading awareness of chemical contamination by companies. Bad on them for doing it by making up nonsense about the logo to drum up views.

    And yet, it’s an EPA superfund

    TLDR: They bought seven contaminated properties. went bankrupt. $42 mill cleanup bill.

    Ranvier, (edited )

    Yes that’s all true, I agree with you. And I hate how big companies pass on the cost of their waste to the public in this and so many other instances.

    The linking it to a supposed coronocupia logo was the clickbait nonsense to drum up views though.

    Kusimulkku,

    Kek this false seeming conspiracy has spread far. TikTok is great for that
