Porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat face stricter requirements to verify the ages of their users after being officially designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)....
2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.
First - mail server might literally be on a box in your home under your full control. Second - if it’s not the case, you don’t need to stick to a single provider. I have mailboxes tied to different platforms on different providers, so I cannot lose all at once.
I have come to realise that I can’t just leave Facebook and Instagram without it influencing the stuff that I really care about. Most of my hobbies, interests, friends, clubs etc are on Facebook, and leaving the platform would affect the level of involvement that I can achieve....
In A LOT of places this is not legal. At least where I live, you can get a “gray” sim registered to another person, but idk how much you can rely on one. And you have to search around for them.
Edit: also knew a guy who was using jmp.chat for a number.
From what little discussion I have seen on some DN forums, this “solution” as well as similar ones were clowned upon. Because proprietary, centralized and thus not allowing anyone to check their claims.
Gen Z here, I actually had the exact opposite problem. I don’t really use a smartphone now, but when I did use it daily, while I could get into some article rabbitholes, it was never to a painful extent. Probably because the phone is small and not at all comfortable to interact with long-term. But when I am on the laptop - I often lose track of time spent on IRC, youtube and newsfeeds. I now try to strictly limit the time to only what’s needed (unless IRC has a conversation that is really relevant for me), and download most articles onto an E-reader for a less painful experience.
5 to 10 minutes is a bit too short for comfort tbh. If the content is good, the joy is slightly poisoned by the fact that there was so little of it. IMO the comfortable video length is 30 to 50 minutes, which is a far more enjoyable experience (with 1-2 hours if it’s a podcast).
