A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In other news, VPN subscriptions have skyrocketed in the U.S South.
Honestly, it might be a good thing long-run to have a higher percentage of users on VPNs. They aren't a magic cure-all, but they do help make it safer to use untrusted networks and discourage some things on the service side, like geolocating and data-mining users based on IP.
"This might address some security problems" is somewhat abstract to appeal to most users, I think. "VPN or no tits" is something that I think is more generally-relatable.
I was raised Rural. I can confirm.
I think that it's kind of globally-applicable.
And I've wondered in the past whether the long-run for the Internet was always going to be people generally winding up with VPNs for similar reasons. I'm far from the first:
