      Not using a VPN feeds other companies valuable data. Or are you suggesting we all become hermits on public land?

        What info?

        If you encryption & use DoH for DNS resolution, they can see the IPs you are connecting to, yes a sufficiently motivated ISP can use reverse DNS lookups to tell what sites you are accessing, but if you’re ISP is that bad, find a new one.

        do you trust your ISP or some guy that donated to political parties that want to kick out immigrants more?

          There are many parts of the world where the ISPs really are that bad, and consumers don’t have the choice to switch to a competitor that isn’t equally bad.

          Switch to what, starlink? Because that’s the only other option for the majority of rural America. You think this issue, Elon musk, or my Trump ass kissing aligned isp is the lesser evil?

            Sometimes a VPN is more trustworthy, it’s just wild that people think they are always better, giving money to the main guy funding a far-right party or Comcast, seems like an easy call.

      Everything you see, use, touch, eat every day has been made possible by capitalism. If not for capitalism, we’d all still be farming and dying by 40.

          This is basically a list of things that are wrong with the U.S. or problems in the world.

          I don’t understand how this proves that capitalism is bad. If the world still hasn’t solved all its problems, then capitalism is inherently bad?

          By all metrics, the world is much much better now than it was 100 years ago. And it’s mostly thanks to market economy.

          All countries that have tried something different have had to resort to some flavour of capitalism in order to have any meaningful development.

          Also, nobody said our economic system in its current form it’s perfect.

        We’d be dying ethically, though! I’m kidding. Did you not know this place is an extreme-left echo chamber?

            I don’t know what those are - I just waded into Lemmy on a very large instance but I constantly see large numbers of people who proceed as if we’re all in agreement that capitalism is a proven evil and should definitely be put behind us in favor of a Marxist economy. This is what I consider extreme left. Now is it the uttermost tip of extreme? Surely not. But literal communism is not moderate left, or center left, it is far left. We could probably argue over the semantics of this for a long time.

          I know it is. I’ll still interact with it and say my opinion. Don’t really care about the down votes.
