There are some that were fixed, but fixed with great effort. The hole in the ozone layer for example.
My final answer will be overpopulation. Personally though I think the population should be about 1 billion just so I don't feel quite as much existential dread at my own insignificance.
They can see the timing and packet size for your requests to the VPN server, as well as what your VPN provider is. On the VPN's end they can see what sites the users (collectively) are visiting, the packet sizes, and the timing. That information alone is enough to identify who is doing what with reasonable accuracy.
This is before issues of using the government's massive resources to brute-force encryption, possible government backdoors in VPN servers, and browser fingerprinting.
There are various steps that can be taken to mitigate this, and this of course assuming the government has access to the ISP's metadata from both your network and the server's network (not a stretch, but not necessarily guaranteed).
I'm not sure the topic is really about privacy, but if your threat model requires a VPN + Tor, you're already screwed.
The government can see the metadata of your requests. With enough metadata they can identify what you're doing. Adding a second layer doesn't really change that.
Firstly because I watched that 3.5 hour documentary on the Nvidia AI GPU black market and thought "this could've been an email". I gained next to nothing from the time I spent on it and I did not enjoy it. The same applied to the rest of his videos too.
Secondly because I've started to be pro-professionalism, and Gamers Nexus lacks professionalism such as in his dealings with LTT.
Firstly, my general rule is "upstream or Mint (because screw snaps)". CachyOS was a decision I made prior to this rule but otherwise I have 6 options (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, and OpenSUSE).
A rolling release is out of the question, so Arch's out.
Ubuntu's always out.
Based on what I've heard, Fedora and OpenSUSE are the two leaders when it comes to desktop security on Linux. I value security so Mint and Debian are out.
Fedora tends to adopt new technologies fast, which isn't really what I want.
So by process of elimination, OpenSUSE it is.
Another part of it is nostalgia. I used it briefly when I was first switching to Linux full-time. I ran into various issues and moved off it. Private internet access wouldn't install, I didn't even know what proprietary media codecs were at the time, and tumbleweed had a few bugs that caused me trouble. Despite all that, I'm nostalgic for it partly because of the themes I ended up installing.
Two reasons. Firstly because it's illegal to have the same distro on two different machines, and secondly because I've been meaning to switch back to OpenSUSE for a while (but I ain't gonna be gaming on OpenSUSE).
IIRC the CachyOS optimizations were basically a rounding error. I'm thinking of just switching my gaming PC to Fedora (and switching my Fedora Laptop to OpenSUSE maybe).
The team used advanced spectroscopy techniques to confirm the prototype’s charging behaviour, which showed it retained stored energy for six orders of magnitude longer than it took to charge.
They do say "6 orders of magnitude". So a million times. No idea what the absolute numbers they're dealing with here are, but a million seconds is 11.6 days.
Were they a child? The article body, just like the title, doesn't specify. It frequently specifies that Epstein was a child sex offender, but that's it.
That's a statement of fact.
But knowing this lemmy instance, even that lukewarm statement would get me called a fascist.
I don't, I use DNS over HTTPS. That's far more fitting for my threat model right now.
There are public DNS servers that can filter for you. Control D and Adguard.
I don't get why people recommend PiHole.
Control D or Adguard DNS.

Hopefully they win a majority. Better that they damage their brand with a majority government in a single state before they win a federal election.

Did they not already have an army of lobbyists?
I assumed they did, given the amount governments are bending over backwards for them.

iVPN, PrivadoVPN, Windscribe and ProtonVPN are generally considered leaders in the space IIRC.

I don't get it. Why is everyone donating to Omarchy. What are they hoping to get from that?
