Anyone other than the Republican and Democratic nominees are not giving said nominees a “run for their money”, and should be treated exactly as what they are: a distraction.

Everyone was talking about it back in 2022, but it hasn’t really had any progress since then. I had attempted to use it, but it was rather unpolished.

It’s just a respring, which can actually be useful in certain situations.

Wouldn’t these subreddits just immediately pop up elsewhere. For example, if r/pics was paid, what’s to stop someone from creating r/picsfree?

Not to mention that it’s a subscription rather than a single payment.

Not sure about how to automate it, but you could probably just flip the switch in the system tray. You could also tie it to a power profile.

I wasn’t really being serious with this reply. Your post seems to suggest you want to prevent wifi connection until a VPN connection is established. My suggestion was just to turn off wifi altogether due to some wordplay allowed from the title.

Was going to say this. Pycharm is probably the only paid software I use. With that being said, students don’t need to pay for it, so I don’t have to worry about that.

Turning off WiFi is technically a solution. You won’t connect to WiFi without using a VPN. 🙃

I’d say having these groups coordinate in a platform where government officials are able to gain easy access is better than banning them and forcing them to move to more secure methods of communication.

With that being said, I do think most social media (even Lemmy) could do a better job at vetting what content is recommended to or seen by users.

Mandatory disclaimer: I in no way support these groups or their beliefs.

They’re not becoming Apple 2.0, Apple is becoming Microsoft 2.0. If you look into the history of Microsoft and Windows, you’ll see that they’ve always been this way, but have received more pushback in the past. Microsoft is the OG tech giant empire.
