That makes sense, wouldn’t have guessed sh.itjust.works is on the old BE.

edit: and lemmy.world? Why the rollback?

Huh, true, I didn’t notice that. Don’t see anything in settings that would affect it. Looks the same for me in Firefox on desktop and on iOS.

~~That’s a downside of the browser GUI~~, it doesn’t look like that in voyagerapp, for example.

edit: actually, it doesn’t look like on reddthat’s website for me either. Maybe there’s a setting that changes how it’s rendered inline?

I don’t care who has my cookies. I really don’t. Honestly.

oh no, not again

I already addressed this in reply to someone else, you only wasted your time here.

My VPN is headquartered in California, and actively removed their presence from Hong Kong once their security policy matched China’s, and removed themselves from Russia since that country was opposed to the zero logs policy.

I didn’t ask you. I didn’t ask the other neutral guy either. Not my issue that you have a problem with me suggesting the original respondent check his phrasing to make his intention clear, or pointing out the specific phrases that make it unclear.

Yeah, part of it reads like he was paid to do it, just without including obvious marketing links so he can claim in the article that he wasn’t. Ending the article with valid use cases seems like preventing anyone saying he left out valid reasons, but after a wall of text that could make less savvy users do a “TL;DR: VPN not needed” before they got to that part. I’d respect it more if he led off with the same short description of valid uses, especially considering the article title, then pivoted to where it could be irrelevant.

My VPN advertises protected torrenting as a feature. Many do.

And it’s pretty nondebatable that VPNs are advertised for getting around regional blocking for Netflix etc, or generally getting around censorship like in China.

You’re welcome to your opinion but these phrases

I feel like the opening sentences explained the reasoning behind the article sufficiently,

They’re not the only ones pointing this out, either.

are oppositional in tone.

You may want to reconsider your phrasing then if you don’t want it to appear to be argumentative.
