the proposed settlement gave merchants the ability to impose surcharges on customers depending on what kind of Visa or Mastercard card they use.
Good that the settlement was rejected then. Passing card fees onto the end-customer doesn’t fix the problem.
I don’t think rural towns are depopulating due to hate or discrimination… it’s mostly because of job prospects, no?
Yeah, but fair competition? EGS paying publishers to have exclusives doesn’t seem like fair competition to me.
Owning a horse is more expensive monthly than having a drug addiction tbh.
CSS wouldn’t be used to spy on your network traffic; if they wanted your internet data, they’d have much simpler methods to collect it than CSS (and they wouldn’t be able to decode most of that data anyways in normal cases).
or who I am accessing it from
What do you mean by that?
Suggesting that a VPN could mitigate stuff relating to CSS is like wearing a floating vest 24/7 when flying in a Boeing plane: you might feel a bit safer with it on, but it’d probably be smarter to have a parachute instead.
A VPN won’t really do anything against CSS/IMSI catchers.
I also like the privacy extensions, but how often does your prefix even change? Most places I’ve seen you get a /64 announced and it basically never changes – so somewhat elementary to “break through” that regardless.
Yep, I’m also afraid of taking airplanes because a handful of them have crashed. But per TWh produced, nuclear is statistically the safest method… just like that it’s statistically safer to fly across the country than to drive there, but I’m too scared for that :/
