Usenet as daily driver works 99% of the time. Only use VPN/torrents for extremely new or very obscure shows. $5/month pays for unlimited Usenet and VPN.
That's an unwinnable campaign - there is no escape from Flavor Town.
When Hamachi became unusable I switched to Tailscale to connect my phone, my laptop, and all my local PCs together. It just works, flawlessly. There are more features they offer like Exit Nodes (proxy servers to force Internet traffic through another PC on your Tailscale Network) and sharing your tailnet nodes with another Tailscale user on a separate tailnet, but realistically I just use it like I used Hamachi - as a dead-easy VPN between all my personal devices.
I'm assuming 1172 is a count of donations to official mainstream servers. I have definitely contributed to my local server.
They only care about monetization. If they can achieve that easier with a new UI you know they're going to do that. Old.reddit.com and the current www.reddit.com are both expendable if they can make more money without them. This is the new, publicly-traded corporation Reddit. Tradition be damned, they will make their money in whatever manner pays best.
Good thing Naval warships don't have windows you can fall out of. Railings on the other hand....
I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.
I'm in favor of this, but how did it pass when "two out of four commissioners voted against the measure"?
uBlock Origin has kept their filters up-to-date for me. Still no ads, and no blocks from YouTube, since day 1. I did disable my other privacy extensions like Privacy Badger and Ghostery on YouTube to stay on their "good" side however.
Or by convincing the other side not to bother voting...
I'm sure that in order to get elected he promised to shutdown the government next month.
California’s governor chose a labor leader turned power player to serve in the Senate, and an adviser told POLITICO there were no preconditions about whether she could run in 2024.
Who views ads in Reddit? Except for all the shill posts, that is.
In other news, more than half of US adults do not plan to get the newly recommended COVID-19 vaccine.
Reddit rolled out a new program today that allows the platform’s biggest contributors to earn real-world money for their virtual rewards.
Won't employers just adopt the same workaround that they're using in Colorado, by posting a huge pay range and hiring all employees near the bottom?
I'm guessing that they'll sell Reddit Gold for money (or give subscribers a monthly stipend), then share a (small) portion of the money they made to contributors when they receive and then sell back said gold.

Microsoft is set to bid farewell to third-party printer drivers offered via Windows Update. This change, scheduled for a staggered rollout, will let printer
