There have always been threats yes, but nothing like this. On our current trajectory, billions will die by the end of the century. The impacts of climate change will reshape our global society. Never in history has there been a threat so severe.

History never had the threat of a warming climate. A child starting school now will finish high school in what, 2038? We'll be above 2 degrees warming by then. They're in for a rough ride.

That seems quite high. How many people would actually watch as soon as they got the notification? Do their videos usually get 500k views in the first hour?

It wouldn't have to be all or nothing at first. They could still post to Youtube to share the load. Start with 3 servers and see how they get on.

Wht not spin up their own peertube instance? The tech is there. Idk how it would work out cost wise. 25M subscribers is a lot but how many simultaneous viewers would there be? 1000 is manageable, would probably only need one server. Creators must take distribution into their own hands.

I'd be interested in your take on NymVPN. Governence is still a bit opaque but they do provide a novel way to incentivise operators to join the network.

Perhaps in the future we could see a ride share app powered in this way. Operators and drivers paid by an algorithm based on work done. Funded by users paying with a specific coin. With the interchangeability of cryptocoin it wouldn't matter if there are competing projects. The governance question still remains though.

Thanks, that's a great point about IVPN and Gibraltar. They do have a warren canary but I've heard those are bullshit too. The question is, are they compromised already or not.

I only bought a month of time so maybe i'll move to Nym. They have decentralized servers and have mixnet functionally which seems a safer bet.

It's pretty mental! What do they mean their internal systems were compromised but everything's fine. Not even any downtime??

It feels like OpenAI removed guardrails, gave an agent a path to internet access and said attack HuggingFace. At the same time HuggingFace left some vulnerabilities on a machine in a sandbox and waited for OpenAI to arrive.

Still impressive that agents can to that now but the hole thing stinks of marketing. I reckon unless HF sues OpenAI it was planned from the start lol

All I know is the profits of Mullvad go to bad causes. Yes IVPN aren't perfect but the services are so similar the choice should be obvious. Until a better alternative comes along i'm going to use the one that does less harm.

Damn that's the only thing they don't offer compared to the others 💔

Nope they're owned by a single person. I hope he'll be more responsible. If you know of any non-profit vpn providers let me know! Happy to switch again

I can vouch for IVPN. Made the switch when I heard the news and its been pretty seamless. Generated an account number and funded it with monero. There's an fdroid app too! Service has been really good so far

I made the switch to IPVN and it's felt exactly the same. Maybe even better. Same price. Servers in multiple locations. Allows routing through 2 VPN servers. No logs. No money going to racist ideology.

Mullvad can claim whatever they like about their values, but they are a for-profit company. The profits of the company are being used to fund racial segregation. If they believe in their values they'll switch to a non-profit foundation. Until that time they can get fucked!
