        I know what Tor is and how to use it, thanks. I was just wondering what the video had to say about Tor + VPNs that hasn’t been said a million times. But I’m not watching video content.

          It’s kind of weird to comment on a video saying you’re not going to watch the video but hey fair enough.

          Just for you here is the video transcript

          Apologies for the link, it was too large to fit in a post

            Hey thanks for the text link but I can’t read all that! Is there an audio link to this transcript being read by the stolen AI likeness of Stephen Fry?

              I don’t have the attention span. Could someone link a TikTok?

            This is a lemmy post, with a link to a video. The comment is not on any video.

              You’re correct. Let me amend my previous post.

              It’s weird to reply to a Lemmy post about a video, saying you’re not going to watch the video.

                Is it? Its a pretty common forum comment, saying that they have no interest or capability to watch or listen to a video, and would rather the info was written down so they could read it.

                This is a normal request from digg, from reddit, here on lemmy, all over niche hobby forums…

                Text based website users usually want text based content. Not really weird.

                    You tend to find text based site users wish they werent?

          To add on to the video transcript that @[email protected] posted, here is Jonah’s post from the Privacy Guides forum that more or less summarizes the video: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/clarify-tors-weaknesses-with-respect-to-observability/3676/14

          It also includes links to useful resources and noteworthy articles referenced in the video, like the case regarding the Tor user and the Harvard network admins. You can also toggle dark mode on the forum website, which is useful for those using anti-fingerprinting browsers such as Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser.

            thanks, there were some bits there that I was not aware of. This is why the written form is superior to videos, I can quickly scan through the paragraphs searching for the information I want.

              But written is less easily monetizable and requires more attention.
