Same exact situation. In fact I'm not even fully done migrating away from Gmail although most of my stuff is on Proton now. sigh I guess I'm starting all over again soon.

The average redditor doesn't care about any of this in my experience, they'll just take all the crap because that's what they see on all of the internet anyway

I feel like reddit will eventually become like Facebook in that only lame people will still use it, but it will be a big enough percentage that it's going to be unavoidable in a very annoying way.

I agree, I have nothing against both being an option. In my bubble, everyone pretty much uses self checkout exclusively whenever available, except maybe for a large haul, so I was surprised to see how many in the comments actively dislike it.

That part about waves is interesting, it's absolutely true and it happens all the time but I never really thought about it.

Yeah that's pretty shitty in that case I'd also use the regular checkout

Didn't realize self checkouts were such a divisive topic, like wtf I'll take that any day of the week over standing in line behind people who have seemingly never been to a supermarket before and their shit is still standing there all over the place while the cashier is already scanning my products. I get that it keeps someone employed but I think the answer to that is better welfare, not sticking to the old ways just so someone gets to do menial shit for a living.

If you told tech bros UBI is actually an AI based algorithm distributing money with the aim of stimulating the economy, they'd be all over it

You should just use a VPN in the first place and then none of this is a problem.

War crimes committed by AI, how lovely... soooo who is responsible?

My understanding is, you're routing your traffic through 3 nodes, so the slowest of those 3 will bottleneck the entire process. Unfortunately it's just how Tor works.

harnessing brainlike organoids

that sounds dangerously close to being a human

Somehow doesn't surprise me to see Prime on here, I used to be a regular viewer but there was always something off about him. Just like the page though I also can't really point to anything in particular.
