Hi there! I'm investigating places to land when lemm.ee shuts down and lemmy.zip has a great defed policy and looks like a good place. One QQ is, will I be able to connect to the instance with a VPN? The pinned thread on this post seems to suggest it's fine (try uploading the JSON with a VPN) but I want to be sure, as I don't see any mention of this in the privacy policy or other legal docs. I know some instances block them, and I understand it's to prevent abuse and ban evasion, however I use one all the time for enhanced privacy so it's fairly important to me.
Thanks so much!
You mean like the increase to capital gains tax Carney killed in his first few days as acting PM? He wasted no time letting his crew at Stripe and Shopify know who he gets shit done for.
Let's be clear that this is a way to criminalize homelessness, nothing more. We all know they're not gonna send the white collar or trades addicts to these places. In the Depression era vagrant laws and asylums served the same purpose.
I worked phone support a few years ago and did that at the end of a call with a customer. I was really tired and the person was kinda draining but nice, and for some reason my dog's face slipped into my mind as we were ending the call, who I say k-love-you-thanks-bye to all the time.
It's probably pretty obvious when terabytes of upload are accrued over a few days like what OP mentioned, by seeding 24/7.
Like most any paid VPN service they need to track bandwidth usage somewhat. They can't see what you're accessing but they can see how much of whatever it is. Windscribe also offers a free 10gb/mo plan so they do track it for that purpose as well, much like any VPN with a free tier would.
Saw a yt thing last night that over the past three months Tesla execs have sold over 175k shares too
CopWatch used to be pretty active and has apps for iOS and Android, but I see they haven't been updated in a couple of years.
Walmart also partnered with Klarna if that means anything to folks reading this. I've seen for years companies like Affirm (AFRM) being backed heavily by Shopify (they have exclusive deals at this point and AFRM is one of Klarna's direct competitors). The BNPL universe is coming for everything, including basic necessities like food now I guess. Affirm is also close with Amazon.
If you turn it on its side it's a tunnel.

ARC Raiders looks way better anyhow.
