I don't think NordVPN is American. They just market heavily via American YouTubers. It has Lithuanian roots and is incorporated in The Netherlands according to Wikipedia.

Canada has its own problems for sure, but Ted Cruz's family moved to Texas when he was 4. He's definitely more a product of American culture than Canadian culture.

That's honestly shit your parents should teach you tbh. Though not everyone has a decent set so I agree on the school curriculum bit. Teach it in middle school for sure.

If I ever start selling any software I'll gladly market it on Lemmy, but only because it would be a privacy preserving alternative to some enshittified existing service.

For other ports, you can use AirVPN. For 80 and 443, rent a cheap vps and use it as a reverse proxy, then point it to your actually open ports. Or just host on the cheap vps.

I can confirm this despite likely being younger. Small group and sufficient alcohol helps.

Jesus the GSMArena comment section is exhausting to read. What does MAGA have to do with any of this?

If Apple doesn't stop this "EU is making us remove features" nonsense soon, my next phone is going to be whatever Android has a healthy update life guarantee and easily unlockable bootloader.

To be fair it's also men doing this to other men mostly. Women participate in toxic masculinity too, but really, men give each other a lot of shit with very little support.

Just get a project car. It costs money too, but you have a getaway from life, just go to your garage. And the end result is a cool car.

I ask myself spicier questions than the therapist ever will anyway. I haven't gotten a project car though, that's too much therapy. My mind already wanders far enough in any situation.

Okay, fair enough, I thought you meant just the user agent. Trouble with having a bot make it look like an actual user is looking at the data, is that it's slow and inefficient. Trouble with paying humans to scrape the data is that it's slow and inefficient. These companies want to ingest data ridiculously fast because there's so much of it. If all else fails, they'll resort to paying the content creators. But only if it's data they really do think gives their model a competitive edge in some metric and they can't pirate it. E.g I can see them paying for scientific research they can't get from libgen, but not some rando's blog post or local news website.

Does cloudflare still look at the agent? I thought they have more reliable data points.

You can if you're Cloudflare.
