Yes I’ve heard a lot of great things about that one. I just prefer a normal microphone because it feels better to use for me.

I would recommend against buying any gaming headphones. I bought the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless for $330 and a year later regretted it so much because I could have bought a pair of audiophile headphones that would have been more comfortable and given me much better audio quality and directional sound, and a separate microphone that would have been better for the same price.

I’m saying that the big corporations have such a strong foothold that I personally don’t think we will ever be able to properly regulate them when they can pay off all of the politicians. I’m not trying to be a doomer, those are just my beliefs.

I agree. I don’t think screen time limits are adequate.

Alright I understand your perspective now and agree.

Steamrip.com is starred on fmhy.net, I trust it. I’ve used it many times with no problems.

Then the big companies will just operate under multiple names to commit tax evasion like they already do and pay off the politicians to let them.

You don’t need to know how to use social media to set up the Apple parental controls that put time restrictions on certain apps.

I don’t understand how it correlates. The article isn’t saying that children of parents who use social media are more likely to be addicted to social media, it’s saying that parental controls aren’t helping stop social media addiction in children. So how does that smoker analogy make sense?

That analogy makes no sense for this situation.

Ok but how would that even work? When a company’s product/service is good, then people start recommending it to others and more and more people start using it. The only way to stop companies from growing big is to force them to stop accepting customers after a certain point.

Any of the privacy related ones. It’s a very important topic to me so I like to read about it and discuss with like minded people.

Would you mind going a little more into depth about the aspects of anonymity other than masking the IP address you think people are unaware of?

I feel like these anti-privacy legislations are less of a left vs right thing and more just that the government is always trying to strip citizens of their freedoms to give themselves more power and control.

I would use Mullvad Browser for browsing as it has very strong anti-fingerprinting/tracking and Brave/Librewolf (or a different privacy Firefox fork) for anything that you need to be logged in for.

I recommend Soulseek as well. You can find almost any audiobook on there, no VPN needed. Use Nicotine+ on desktop and Seeker on Android. iPhone users are out of luck though.

Rules for thee not for me.

People have been mindlessly sharing their contacts with every app and service for years. This makes no difference.

Google trying to scare Europe into giving them money and power back in their region 😥 Stfu and let Europe get their individuality and contribute to open source projects which will help Americans like me much more than any amount of money given to Google.

Sorry for the late reply but I would follow what Privacy Guides says in this article: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/

I have ProtonVPN, but I am soon going to be switching to Mullvad as I find that they provide a better service and I like the company more.
