a lot cheaper too

did you try the servers i listed?

i can’t use the free servers on a paid proton account and i’m not sure if i’m allowed to make another account

i normally use librewolf, i tried firefox and it still can’t reach the website through the norway server

edit: same with vivaldi

i get “ping: https://lemmy.ml/: Name or service not known” on Fedora Linux when trying to connect from Norway

edit: “ping lemmy.ml” works fine

edit2: i use the paid version of proton vpn

i switched to france and my discord stopped working lol.

maybe it’s something on proton’s side.

germany works for both proton and discord, sweden stopped working with .ml

you give your watch history, how long you have hovered over a thumbnail, search history, and they use ai to determine your personality to recommend you more videos. you give everything except for your email, your email is largely irrelevant as they tie your account to your other stuff via trackers anyway

OP doesn’t have to mention privacy. privacy is to be expected when looking for an alternative to freetube (privacy friendly software that doesn’t require logging in and has offline subscriptions)

this discussion is aimed at people who don’t want to give google their data

without an account?

sounds like something a terrorist would say…

smh

i can’t even change my display name lol

does it use staan in every country (unlike qwant and ecosia, for now)?

cus those search results seem quite good, maybe even better than qwant (which i use)

if this is what staan is like, i’m very much hyped for the rollout for qwant and ecosia :)

qwant :)

most likely, there’s an option for it in the settings

changing display name doesn’t work at least for me so i’m not 100% sure if all the settings in the menu are enabled

have u tried registering without an email?

i didn’t enter an email and they let me in just fine :)

your first point is a pretty good one, ill give this a deeper thought and see what conclusion i make on whether to keep using the word or not.

the second point is not as great, i dont ever see a black person calling anyone the hard r. i feel like the “friendly” n word is a different word entirely, even if it has the same origin. but that doesnt matter, ill focus on ur first one and will think about it further

i dont think most people associate it with behaving like a woman, at least i dont ever use it like that

if i hit my foot on something and say “you -idontwannagetbanned-!” theres no association with any womanlike behavior lol

same with like an annoying boss fight in a video game, i might call it that, not thinking even for a nanosecond that the behaviour is in any way womanly

i just use it as a more vulgar synonym for “annoying” really. i dont associate women with being annoying nor do i think that being annoying is a female trait. i would hope that most people think the same too but im ready to be proven wrong.

i hear the word relatively often from women who do use it against women too so in my experience theres not much of a case for it being a slur if the hurt group uses it as often or more often than others

it most definitely is not a slur anymore imo, it’s a negative word but these days it’s not exclusively used towards women.

i use it while complaining about male video game characters, events, accidents, objects, to shift its meaning to a completely neutral (but bad word)

i dont wanna change instances :(
