  • Semi related but there has been so much anti VPN stuff of late on the web. I blame the big vpn providers for their miss marketing and poor ads from sponsoring deals. The repercussions are making it out like vpns are not useful. Noone thought they were silver bullet before. now they are made out to be a waste of money? All the “you don’t need a VPN” stuff needs to stop. Im concerned people are gonna stop caring about anonymity and enhancing privacy with VPN.

    This is probably what happened. If you use Google, YouTube and Chrome and esp if you are logged into ur Google account those don’t matter too much…

    The discord vc isn’t private but listening to a conversation in real time and picking out key points, who said what and then translating that to recommendations seems a challenge but not impossible. A speech model could do this but that would be quite insane. It seems more likely that the recommendation was based of off previous searches and predicted correctly.

    If Dc was listening like that I would expect to see some weird shit cos I talk random stuff in dc voice
