  • The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling

    Jump

  • Of course such measures are much simpler than fixing the current education system, which is the root cause of lack of critical thinking and self-control.

  • (solved) What is the best tool to mass resize all images in a directory, including sub-directories, while keeping aspect ratio?

    Jump

  • Take a look at XnView, it has batch capabilities of that kind, which you can set up through a graphical interface. Ships for linux too.

  • (Meta) What about technology satire or funny pieces?

    Jump

  • Thank you for the feedback! I've asked because at first I thought of sharing this satire piece which I found very funny. But suddenly wondered if that would have been OK or not – don't want to ruin what the users expect by subscribing to this community.

  • Where should community meta-discussions go?

  • Good to know, thank you!

  • Cheers. It seems the best and maybe only option indeed.

  • New user about to jump into Proton

    Jump

  • Thank you for this piece of info. OK that's also confusing, from what I understood, seeding is not possible without port forwarding? I have to go and fact-check again about this. Maybe test both Mullvad and ProtonVPN for one month... If I do, I'll report with a post here.

  • New user about to jump into Proton

    Jump

  • I'd immediately go with Mullvad, if they had port forwarding. I'm considering Proton for VPN (and nothing else), but it's really disconcerting how disparate is the range of opinions about Proton VPN. No idea where the truth is. Probably I'll just try the monthly subscription, so I can test and leave immediately if it doesn't work.

  • Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US

  • Any news about this?

  • Thank you for the updates! I agree that they should simply state a clear data limit, given that they have one. One of my concerns about them is their being based in Canada, Five Eyes. Although I wonder how's the Five Eyes situation now, given the present political storm.

  • I saw they spreadsheet was last updated 2020. Wonder what happened to them.

  • Trustworthy websites with recommendations, reviews, discussions about VPN, DNS, and similar?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I've heard other positive user comments on Windscribe.

  • This was another good one, thanks!

  • 158 scientists used the same data, but their politics predicted the results

    Jump

  • Very little that can be inferred indeed. They use linear regression to quantify correlations, that is they assume that relations are linear – and don't even seem to justify why or how such an assumption should be valid. Good luck with that. Final blow is the use of p-values and "statistical significance". To quote from the official statement by the American Statistical Association:

    1. P-values do not measure the probability that the studied hypothesis is true, or the probability that the data were produced by random chance alone.
    2. Scientific conclusions and business or policy decisions should not be based only on whether a p-value passes a specific threshold.
    3. A p-value, or statistical significance, does not measure the size of an effect or the importance of a result.
    4. By itself, a p-value does not provide a good measure of evidence regarding a model or hypothesis.

  • The best we can do in most cases is to use these sites to bring software, services, features, and risks to our attention

    This is my purpose indeed; I'm not saying I'd blindly trust some websites. It's good to find some that people have found to be more reputable.

  • Torrenting is not allowed on Windscribe

  • I was interested in them at first, this was very good info. Thank you!

  • VPN Comparison 2.0

  • Next time you update this very useful guide, it may be interesting to include official and non-official info about data limits. For instance, according to this post, Windscribe (Pro!) has a data limit. This seems to be confirmed by their review on TorrentsFreak.
