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.


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.


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.


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.


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?


Ah yes, the way to become unaffected by Western sanctions is to emulate the country that lives in perpetual serfdom and give up all those small luxuries you’ve become accustomed to before they can be taken away. Makes perfect sense!


Since Starlink operates in Low-Earth Orbit, they shouldn’t be a danger to all of the more common Geo-synchronous Orbit satellites who are 10x father from Earth than these LEO objects.


I can’t even begin to imagine 20,000 people dying so quickly like that. Absolutely horrible…
She’s a brave woman, talking to the reporter for that story. In that state, she’ll likely be harassed and threatened as a “baby murderer” even though this obviously was not her first choice.


What a tool.

Decent chance that post was written by AI as well. Or it was a marketing copywriter. Either way it wasn’t written by a normal human.
