Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't . So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

java,

From what I’ve heard ProtonVPN isn’t really recommended.

Why? You can’t attack something like that. At least say what you’ve heard.

java,

Define “we”. I don’t know anyone doing that, bar impulsive people on social media.

Does usage of third party youtube apps necessitate a VPN in the near future?

Greetings y’all. I’ve been using ways to circumvent YouTube ads for years now. I’d much rather donate to creators directly instead of using Google as a middle man, needing YouTube Premium. If even pay for premium for just a add free version, if the price wouldn’t be so outrageous. I’ve So far used adblockers, Vanced...

java,

I don’t see them blocking accounts. What would it achieve? Their goal is to monetize you. By taking you out of the equation, they can’t monetize you anymore. You’ll probably keep doing what you were doing anonymously or with a new account, so blocking you won’t reduce costs either.

On the other hand, Google is collecting a lot of data. Maybe now they aren’t using it very effectively, but sooner or later they might find a key to make YouTube Premium a viable option even for someone like you. By using YouTube and other Google services, you are providing key fragments.

java,

I like the idea of Piped, because I could use it with LibreTube and have same subscriptions on different devices. But since Piped doesn’t work at all for me for the past week, I’ve switched to FreeTube. It works with no issues.

java,

From my experience, LibreTube simply doesn’t work without a kbm. I couldn’t even select an instance using the TV controller.

Swedish city tries to reduce pollution and noise

How does this help reducing noise? I think with modern cars, tires generate notably more noise than the engine unless the speed is below 30 km/h. I hear no difference between a petrol car and electric when they’re driving past me at 50-60 km/h.

I know this is not how dbzer0 works, but can you help me get cs 1.6 working on my linux system ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I downloaded the game from soft32 (this file used to work on the old days). I installed both WINE and Lutris, but the game runs like sh**t. I get .NET and Vulkan errors from Lutris&WINE. Can you give me a newbie friendly guide for the right way? I’m tired of scrapping the web and it doesn’t help that I have limited data....

java,

lacks many of the CSGO features,

Well, the OP is not trying to play CSGO.

java,

Now you have to activate it in order to change some settings.

java,

I decided to give it a try.

An ‘invalid’ character in a password, that’s just great.
