Most VPN services are a sham. They just hide your network activity from your ISP, however they have full visibility in to your network traffic. Some of these VPN providers are even owned by ad agencies, but advertise privacy as a selling point. You’re better off running your own WireGuard or OpenVPN server at home or with a VPS. At least you will have control over the server and limit your exposure to unscrupulous VPN companies. (Yes using a VPS is shifting the trust from one to the other, but you will have to make a decision that is right for you.)

I miss these old 90s style buttons on websites. A much simpler time…

Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that’s a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.

Stealth. I hate hiding and creeping around waiting for an NPC to move. It’s like, “oh, you want to play the game? How about not playing the game instead?” Infuriating.
