  • And which country are you from that you think you are entitled to throw the first stone?

  • Should yt-dlp be used behind a VPN?

  • Unless you actively pay attention it's very easy to be logged into some Google service without noticing. At least I wouldn't be surprised if chrome background services kept me logged into my work Google Mail account and kept tracking my IP.

    The biggest question is how meaningful the IP alone is. I don't know if VPNs assign people individual IP-adresses or if there's some kind of NAT in use where people share an IP with translated ports. If the information is "there's this individual VPN-user and we need to connect them to a name" then you shouldn't use (the same) VPN for everything, but if it's just "there's another request from the same VPN" then it's fine.

  • I don't know. A VPN simply replaces your IP with one from their network, but you still have one IP that identifies you, right? So if you are using one tool to access YouTube while being logged into Google on your browser, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the VPN? I mean if Google just stores the IPs that were used to log into accounts they can simply look up who downloaded their videos, right?

  • I tried using Osmand recently and unless I got something very wrong there is no free version to speak of. You get 6 free map downloads, and those maps are tiny. And when I deleted a map it turned out that it's literally 6 downloads. Even redownloading the same map counts towards that limit. I was expecting that deleting a map would allow me to download a different one, so that the limit would only mean that I can have 6 maps at a time and change them every now and then.

    With this limit the app is only useful for people who stay in the same area all the time, and then you don't need a navigation app.

  • I doubt that this move has made them much more "safe and controllable", it just means that they depend on a different system. I mean as soon as a bug pops up in their software the rest of the world will be fine.
