Hard to say. Information is valuable in any type of economy, so it may be more to do with where public concensus lies on privacy issues, and the competency/trustworthiness of oversight.

Lol, if you like. I don’t support Google at all (at least, the violation of privacy rights). But I can see why their behavior happens, and it’s more to do with corruption and apathy. I blame the average person more than Google, because if it wasn’t tolerated (I.e., people in general gave the slightest shit) or privacy laws were enforced and/or written for the digital age, it wouldn’t happen. And since it is tolerated, companies that don’t participate are largely outcompeted by those that do.
I am viscerally disgusted by where privacy is at in the digital age, but at this point, no, I don’t see it as a problem with any particular tech company.
There’s no point in hating Google. Hate the systemic inadequacies that allow their abuse, and those of other tech giants, to not only thrive but become borderline mandatory for success at that level.
9/11, yes, but what human rights did we lose from covid? Having to wear a mask for a while? Or being heavily encouraged to get a vaccine? …
That’s good information. I already had a setup for openvpn, so I just plugged in their ovpn files and kept going.
You don’t have to use any software from Proton VPN, they will allow you to download openvpn and wireguard config files so you can set up your own client. Takes some more effort to do it right, yes, but its a good option if you’re up for it.
Ah, so I fell for reactionary bs assuming that a fairly well written article had good information? Dammit. =P Thanks for the info, that sounds a lot more plausible to me.
That is insane. Straight up blacklisting popular software because they don’t want people to look too closely at what they purchased. It’s amazing what the public is willing to accept, just such a constant stream of reports about bad behavior from companies that most people can’t find the energy to care.
Either go with working through textbooks on your own, as has been stated by others, but that approach requires tons of discipline as the subject matter can get quite dry and frustrating at times. Or, I’d say ideally, enroll in courses at a local community college. The one I went to had four calculus classes, linear algebra and differential equations, along with statistics and I believe some kind of math programming course (my have just been part of other classes). So you cab get into fairly advanced stuff going that route.
If you want to learn even more after that, you’ll have a solid basis to continue self study. Hell, you might even have a good start towards a bachelor’s in math.
It would be nice if they fixed their app so that when I set it to always dark mode, it actually stays in always dark mode. I don’t have much faith in UI improvements when that bug has plagued me for literally years, across Android versions and devices. But now the colors that suddenly blind me when it changes from dark to light will be different, yay?
