    I have to admit, of all the nations on earth, I never expected this sort of puritanical theatrical authoritarianism out of the french.

      The percentages of respondents in surveys on infidelity answering “not a moral issue” from France are a bit of a cultural difference (from Australian perspective, anyway)

    Why do the French even need Pornhub when their basic movies are very porn adjacent?

        Pervertube. Thisvid. Motherless.

        I just realized indicating these websites might have revealed a little too much about the kinds of porn I like to watch. ☹️

          Whoa. I haven’t heard of Pervertube. I have specific tastes involving a dirty mattress with no sheet or at least one overflowing ashtray.

          NEW PORN!!!1!!!1!!!

          Which one pops the “you are leaving the trans section to go the straight section, are you sure?”

          I really don’t think I should be called out just because I like straight porn.

            Spankbang alone blows PornHub out of the water in my opinion. So does Xvideos. I guess it depends what you’re into? I don’t like all of the incest shit on PornHub.

    I hate how VPN access is the scaffolding holding the building up making things look normal. You can visit all your normal web sites, you can bypass georestrictions, you can be a little less tracked than you might otherwise be. But what happens when they decide to do away with that scaffolding and we all find out they tore down the house behind it while we were enjoying “normalcy”. Too much of making the web functional depends on vpns and adblocking. We shouldn’t have to do this stuff and Chromes adblocking scandle should impact millions of users all around the world unilaterally removing adblocking from the web. I fear for the day we have a US only internet and a global internet, not just on paper, but in actual practice.

      Have you met the French? There’s a bunch of English sex words brought in from French! Most notably is ménage à trois, for a threesome. The smoking a cigarette after sex cliché is pretty French too.

      So funny thing about Aylo, which used to be called mind geek, they own quite a lot of porn sites. Probably 5 or 6 of the top ten.

    I guess this bodes well for Proton becoming increasingly a Google One products replacement with more users potentially paying

        But think of the children!!!

        Because for the right, apparently saying porn or fuck or shit is bad for children, but people grooming the same children is fine.

        But in all seriousness, being goomed by 2 people when I was not even 14 has done more damage to me than playing black ops 2 with all the graphic scenes on my Wii-U when I was 12, and trust me, in that game I have heard the word fuck more times than I could count back then

      I think the oscillation described people’s activity time. Over the course of a day, people who would register for a VPN are much more likely to do so during the evening, because during the day they are busy with work. So you observer on a daily basis a peak like this.

      Such charts are very common with services used daily. For example, social media usage in a given region often has a peak during the morning, a big peak during lunch time, and in general goes up after work time.

      Of course not everyone works at the same time, but a majority of people have more or less the same work times, so we observe the peaks.

        You are right, thanks! I misread the graph and thought it was a 4 cycles per day, which was puzzling me, but is indeed just a daily oscillation
