I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions....
The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?...
why not buy the album and then use it locally on your device? vlc runs pretty much everything and you could fit thousands of songs while offline (could even remove the gsm/wifi/bluetooth from a phone running some FOSS os and turn it into your offline media device). or just get a cd player for $1 at a thrift store, offline, private, full access
thrift stores sell albums for $1 and there are a few sites that sell new music to be downloaded for cheap
so… capitalism doesn’t exist in a world with infinite growth potential. fiat currencies do and when tied in with capitalism, “infinite growth” is a goal. nuance is hard but not too difficult
none, infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. the nuance is that the goal of infinite growth can only be possible in fiat or debt based currencies. can’t just print more seashells to intice capitalists into an “infinite growth falacy”
the definition of inflation is too much currency going after too few goods, all of this blaming the companies or the workers shows the hand of the writer not understanding basic capitalist economics. so the writer is most likely either ignorant or a shill
so what’s the benefit here? just to not broadcast to your credit card/crypto chain that you purchased it? i assume they still have logs with the ip address you’re connecting from
they also were illegally tracking users’ location and aggregating that data to build their map’s traffic data. wouldn’t put it past them to do it without user knowledge or consent and use it
human uses internet to bounce image onto a dozen servers, captured by multiple governments, data mined and ai trained on by proprietary software company, just to not spend five minutes standing
i was thinking more of the electricity, precious metals, human labor, and other resources needed for this one human to not stand in an area for a few minutes

i can’t tell if you’re trolling… in most countries we don’t have privacy, everything is attached to the cloud and data mined already - unless it’s offline with no input/output that could touch the internet, there is no privacy
yeah totally, definitely not trying to say it’s a hopeless situation. there are many helpful tools to help with having some. i just have been following and involved with data collection and it’s a bit of a mess - the idea that anything can happen without at least the 13 eyes knowing seems almost impossible
Before someone asks why there isn’t insane inflation from banks printing an infinite amount of money for themselves, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar. In order to be allowed to print HKD, banks must have an equivalent amount of USD on deposit.
