also SaaS is cancerous shit

To really switch to Linux people need to accept that for a good experience you may need to switch off some software to alternative software.

This wasn’t a big deal for me personally and I’m happy I use more open source software now, it can be a bigger issue especially if you need specific tools for work.

This, Apple is very anti consumer and you have no freedom to use their devices how you want, only how apple wants.

I’m waiting for the first mass protest that utilizes Lora communications

Come on noobs, get with the times!

Blender does fucking everything lol, insane how much is packed into that amazing piece of FOSS

Blender is low key the best video editor on Linux for future reference

Did Tesla not make their charger an open standard that every new ev is shipping with?

Best alternative for email?

I mean he’s tech illiterate when it comes to anything semi complicated but with the way he uses his pc and the software he uses it would just not be possible for him to switch at all, would be unable to do 70% of the stuff he wants to do.

Linux is only good for the truly tech illiterate/pretty noice users in my opinion. After that you hit a point where they are literate just enough that they would need to solve problems on linux they wouldn’t have to on windows and their inability to solve problems on Linux make their experience bad.

One level above that Linux is the better option again though.

But the same can be said with windows. My life long windows user friend occasionally (a few times a year) reaches out about some significant issues they are experiencing with windows on their modern desktop.

I truly wouldn’t recommend Linux for a fairly tech illiterate person like him, but really Linux is better in every category that matters to me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Users not putting their foot down and switching to a different OS is all the consent they need. I dropped windows a few years ago when I felt they were just getting too invasive.

I use it for work and I’d say it’s terrible. Although the work in do is a bit demanding for the hardware I’m given.

I remember this story and re skimmed through the article, it has nothing to do with exit nodes.

The story you linked is from 2015, and has nothing to do with exit nodes. The feds bsuted the actual server that was used to host csam and kept it up while collecting user information for two weeks. Not exit nodes related.

There are many illegal sites hosted on tor that get taken down quite often. Tor in itself is not an insecure software and it proves that by readily having nefarious and illegal sites operate for long durations of time.

All the instances I have read about large sites that host some form of illegal content on Tor going down have all had quite unique and extensive efforts put in by law enforcement agencies to make the bust happen.

Smart Nvidia users are ex Nvidia users

While TOR does accept funds from the U.S. federal government it is not a honey pot. Given tor is free and open source it is easy to verify the security of the software.

I use fedora btw (use open source software you fools)

Hopefully those FOSS projects will gain some sense as discord becomes more shit and will leave. One can hope.

They are just finally moving on from getting fleeced by the traditional massive defense contractors. Starlink satellites are an extremely cool piece of engineering, and spaceX is one of the most impressive engineering companies in the world. I’m sure these spy sats they are making are fairly advanced

Starsheild is just a satellite bus, which is just sorta like the central building block for satellites. It handles communication, navigation, etc. The government will likely be in total control of the system once it’s deployed.

You definitely don’t need an Apple TV, but this person has the gist right. Remove all data connections to the TV and use an external device to function as the smart part.
