left me stunlocked with this one icl

on the surface they do a lot right. warrant canary, no logs, solid infrastructure, profitable.

for me, i really don’t like the weird ways that they market. super misleading to imply that they make a person “anonymous” and/or greatly improve your privacy beyond you sending them your information instead of your isp. i also really dont like the lack of transparency, particularly with closed-source clients. i also really don’t like the number of controversies that nord has been in, even insofar as getting hacked. i don’t want my vpn provider to have any, let alone quite a few, of these controversies.

in terms of the model, proton is transitioning to a non-profit which reinforces why they are so well-regarded by the community. long history of doing right by consumers, where it matters most.

best post on here in ages, im in love

anyone know what kind of snails these are? i want one

my bad, i misunderstood. thanks.

i don’t think we disagree in a vacuum but bringing that up in the context of this particular thread is probably unhelpful

beehaw is a safe-space, we shouldnt villify the experiences/needs of people who need alt-text. this could be game changing for people who need it.

seconded

carefully

sucks to hear that your feelings have changed, but im glad you see the value of the comments and posts this way. content is invaluable, i hope it doesn’t have to be deleted. best of luck on your journey <3

just as a side note, you have a LOT of comments. if you can bring yourself to do it, it’d be cool if you could just not delete the account. it’d be a shame to lose all that content, lemmy is in its’ early days still. sometimes it’s non-negotiable though, i get that. good luck.

honestly im taken aback by your confidence in using two bowls here. i would eat all of that on a single plate 🤤

love the clarity, love the honesty, love you. big W

the scrubs OST went so hard for no reason, i loved every second of it. another great scrubs song was the acoustic Overkill by Colin Hay.

shutting down the server early was best. the nature of open source software is what allows these incidents to be mitigated as quickly as they are. thanks a lot to you guys, and to all of the team at Lemmy who worked to resolve this.

heroes <3

one thousand recommendations for barakamon, it’s so much fun

this is really cool.

if i’m interpreting this right, then this shows that biomedical alternatives to treating mental health are valuable and effective, assuming it’s done in conjunction with a mental health professional to guide through the process, that knows when to draw a line wherein chemical interventions like antidepressants are necessary

the discussion notes at the end draw some great ways that korean and japanese speaking researchers could help add more nuance to this, which is also cool.

i’m 21, it wouldn’t be weird if you were gaming at 77, let alone 47 lol

maybe it’s not intergenerational :p

The average sleep cycle is 1hr30mins. I think when we sleep for 6 hours, we complete 4 sleep cycles and wake up refreshed. When we sleep for 7 hours, we wake up mid-cycle. At ~8 hours, we wake up before we get stuck into the middle of a sleep cycle or enter REM.

I read this somewhere online, someone who knows more can verify if this is the actual science. If not, it’s a fun hypothesis I’ll choose to believe :p
