Leafly lists 6,822 cannabis strains. Though 'strains' or more aptly cultivars are often not reflective of the actual underlying chemical nature of the plant [source]. They are ultimately not very meaningful in general.

Based on this database, Europe has 104 varieties of hemp registered.

Canada has 87 but there is probably overlap.

Though potatoes and cannabis aren't really a fair comparison for many reasons. There are a lot of different species of potatoes with major chromosomal differences but cannabis only has 3 species.

I’d say it’s mostly garbage. It introduces annoying pop-ups. You can turn them off but it’s grating.

E.g. every time you connect to a new screen it asks to go into presentation mode.

I’d say anything parallels toolbox can do, I can find an open source tool which can do it better. Sort of a jack of all trades, master of none.

Though I could see it being useful for a non-power user that is afraid of installing software.

In some cases we're talking about people making $2.13 an hour in a country where you're easily paying $1,000 a month or even more for a studio apartment. I'd say if you don't tip you're the bad guy.

This type of change isn't going to come from people just deciding that waitstaff should starve and refusing to tip. If anything it will come from unionization of waitstaff or from legislation.

There's nothing inherently wrong with windscribe but I don't trust any company that offers a cheap lifetime plan for something that requires so much upkeep.

Ever since firefox switched to quantum it's been great. I would say it outperforms chromium under typical circumstances.

Many people who hide it will be ostracized.

They don't advertise it, just message support from your .edu email and tell them your username. They'll apply it and let you use the STUDENT promo code. It's 50% off the year plan so $5 a month.

Basically 3 good choices

ProtonVPN AirVPN IVPN

Proton has a 50% off student discount bringing the price down to $5 a month for all proton services.

IVPN is probably the best but most expensive.

I’d say past security breaches are enough reason to stay away.

I mean it’s not like a VPN is providing major anonymity. We already know all the major providers are tapped. You should treat any VPN like a spy agency.

If you need anonymity, a free VPN is probably not the best place to look.

Also they could correlate your network traffic without you logging in. That is not a requirement. No matter what, any VPN is going to give some kind of unique user identifier.

Best way is probably just to leave it running for a while and make sure ports are forwarded.
