→ Yes, it's a VPN.

→ No, they do not record data.

→ No, they do not log traffic.

→ Yes, it's stable.

→ Yes, there are caveats. The Washington D.C. server is not located where it's advertised.

This thread asked about my experience with Windscribe. That's my experience, and my experience was deterred due to the current political climate and the fact my primary purchase was based on having unfettered access. Ashburn, Virginia, doesn't allow unfettered access. And frankly, I don't care what discussion you want.

Currently, there are eight states that require you to show ID to access pornography. Virginia is one of those. There are currently seven other states that have introduced such laws. Of all those 15 states, none of them are liberal. All of them are Conservative.

Why do I choose Washington D.C.? It's the closest to me that's not affected by ridiculous oversight, and my latency will stay relatively low.

Is that "VPN-enough" for you, dummy?

I said I wouldn't do it. I installed Windows 11 yesterday, but went back to Windows 10 today. Windows 11 is going to be like Windows Vista or Windows 8 for me. I'm just going to take my chances and skip it. I would love to go to Mint, but Linux doesn't support the only game I play, Black Ops 6.

Surprise! Trump signing a big 'ole nothing burger, and his followers will eat it up. As of December, only 15 federally funded universities are still requiring the vaccine, and being such a short list, I didn't even recognize any of them.

I had an annual membership with them for $29. It's worth it, but I ultimately went to Mullvad because their Washington D.C. server is actually Washington D.C., whereas the Windscribe D.C. server is actually Ashburn, Virginia. Virginia has been aggressively moving toward a Conservative view of the internet, whereas D.C. is much more liberal.

I know, I know, Virginia voted liberal during the last presidential election, but the governor is the second coming of Donald Trump.

It's not boring. It's just much more difficult to find a valuable .com domain. Working in business, receiving an email from a .place domain would likely go right in the trash.

How is posting a picture of two men kissing considered homophobic? Wouldn't being offended by it be homophobic?

People, I've already mentioned that Windows 10 LTSC is out there until 2027. Additionally, Windows 11 non-TPM is available out in the 'bay.

I'm not mad or upset at all. I could not care less. I don't know anyone that are trans, especially any children that are. It doesn't affect me, but I still have an opposing opinion, however ignorant that may be.

There was a short period of time in the 80's when medical professionals believed you could contract HIV from someone by simply drinking after them. My point is that medical professionals can be wrong.

Little is known about the long-term side effects of hormone or puberty blockers in children with gender dysphoria.

Research on the long-term effects on brain development and cognitive function is limited.

Research on the long-term effects on fertility and sexual function is limited.

I'll be completely honest. I'm on the fence about all of it, but I do take an issue with our children basically being the Guinea pigs. However, I'll concede because as I said earlier, I really do not care enough.

You stated I was in the minority, which wasn't true, and frankly, just because a few organizations believe it's acceptable doesn't speak for the entire medical community. Again, many medical professionals don't agree. Are those medical professionals also the "6th-grade-reading-level Americans" you speak of?
