  Okay so… what about using tailscale? You set as exit node your server, which is configured with gluetun to connect to a VPN (or ideally, it’s online through a router that has itself a VPN for all the connections). Then you connect through tailscale to your homeserver and exit the internet through it (which is already under a VPN).

  Why don’t you just use Shelter to create a work profile on your phone? The work profile can have a second vpn connection. I do this with my homeserver. The apps that connect to the home server are installed in the work profile so they have permanent access to the homeseraer while the normal profile is on my external vpn.

  Incredible!!! So the guy saying that injecting yourself with bleach was a cure against covid was spreading bullshit all along?! Who’d’ve thought!

  You know? In Spanish, there’s an idiom: “irse a hacer gargaras” (literally “go to gargle”) that we say when something or someone ends poorly or incredibly wrong. This… well, he did go.

  I’m not sure I understand it right. Is he saying he’s going to ban americans from traveling?

  Patapon, all 3. Sort of a rhythm game but with combat and a lot of depth.

  And I can probably say I’m glad I haven’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They didn't stop to think if they should⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just not really sure we want to see a scene that might leave the famous alien “birth” of the first movie as something mild. That’s all.

  I’m moderately sure human rectums aren’t made to give birth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They didn't stop to think if they should⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t want to see that. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are eugenics bad seen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But how can you say that you have a better life than them if you are inferior? Clearly a lesser person won’t be able to reason through these complex arguments…

  Don’t you love the smell of nazi at any time of the day? It signals who should you punch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are eugenics bad seen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah but see? They have “the good genes” so of course they won’t be culled. Not like “neurodivergents” or “disabled”. We should cull those because “they won’t get a girlfriend”.

  This smells of incel, like a fuckton.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are eugenics bad seen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck you. Sincerely. As an autistic person.

  I don’t need someone to kill me before I’m born, what ri need is people that accept that I need accomodations different than the ones neuromilds need.

  Fucking hell… You live in a world that is full of accomodations for neuromilds, without which, you’d live in hell. And instead of recognising how easy it is for you thanks to those accorodations, you want to purge us?

  Damn how I wish you lived through the life of one of us just for one day…

  Keep going Canada! We need another pandemic to cull the fascism (which happens to be antivax) and measles looks like a great option!

  Smh…

  I’m an atheist, so I don’t feel particularly attacked because these assholes dismantled a cross, but can you imagine if the situation was the opposite? The amount of nazionists calling antisemitism?

  Can we focus one moment on why the fuck a 6 years-old kid could watch porn?

  What the hell was a 6yo kid doing with an unsupervised internet device? How about you don’t give your 6yo kid an internet device if you can’t (or don’t want to) parent them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you trust your VPN? How Facebook turned a VPN into a surveillance engine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If a product is free, you are the product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you trust your VPN? How Facebook turned a VPN into a surveillance engine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you trust your VPN?

  A comprehensive checklist:

  • Is your VPN completely free?

  • Has your VPN a referral program with discount codes and money if a friend joins?

  • Is your VPN sponsorized by big streamers?

  The more “yes” you find in that list, the less you should trust your VPN.

  • Is your VPN audited?

  • Can you access those audits?

  • Can you pay in anonymous currencies (cash or crypto)?

  • Can you track them to their real parent company?

  The more “no” you find in that list, the less you should trust your VPN.

  If your VPN has checks all the wrong answers, you should dump it ASAP (if you are worried about privacy).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, my quite human husband also voices his thoughts without a prompt. Lol. You only need to feed him to function, no internet required.

  Sometimes, with humans, I’d say the problem is quite the opposite: they voice their thoughts without a prompt far more often than what would be desirable.

  On a less serious note, that quoted part made me chuckle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are right, my main comment didn’t include this part. When I was talking to other users I developed the argument a bit more and I realized that my first comment didn’t convey my argument fully. While I was writing the first comment, it made sense in my head, but the reason why I considered it an awfully bad idea was not clear.

  It was more of an oddity. Right now, the numbers are not just “some random guy” but something in much higher numbers.

  I’m not really sure these people fully understand what they are doing or they wouldn’t be doing it at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly!!! The main problem is not the technology itself but who is in charge of it! Can we really trust one of those moguls to not turn these LLMs into something that ends up killing people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, yes. And yes.

  But

  Do you think openAI or Google, or X or whatever billionaire behind the AI involved in these “relationships” cares even minimally about the mental well-being of these people?

  The problem is not just the dating an AI thing, but who is managing these AIs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While I agree with your point of view… Do we really trust the present AI providers, in the present economic system, to not pull some bullshit that ends in extremely fucked up scenarios?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard about this in the radio the other day. People pay a monthly fee for an AI that becomes your “digital partner”.

  The reasoning behind, according to them, is that the AI is less dangerous than a human partner because they can’t cheat, can’t abuse you…

  And I can’t but wonder where did we took the wrong turn to end up here. Because while I can understand that people can go through some traumatic shit tha, would made them wary of the opposite sex, considering a machine your sentimental partner can only lead to some extremely fucked up scenarios.
