Dabbled with Linux on a Raspberry Pi and a laptop that I only used from time to time; it wasn’t until the imminent Windows 10 support drop announcement that I finally installed it in my main rig. The words “fuck it” were uttered in my mind too.
Let’s see how that fairs out with say, for example, a general strike?
Yes, touching grass and talking to someone with life experience and their own opinions is better than talking to an LLM that agrees and validates everything you say, doesn’t hold you accountable, and siphons your data, all while you get more and more mentally ill (because people treat talking to an LLM like they’re talking to a Cortana like AGI, but the limitations of machine learning make it literally fucking impossible).
Been using FreeTube for a bit now w/ GraphineOS, and my Linux Desktop. Runs cookieless embed of YouTube videos and Invidious instances built in. Localized subscriptions and playlists, which can be imported in from Google Takeout; no recommendations page. Occasionally YT will block your IP, which is where a good VPN comes into play so you could switch on the fly, and for overall additional privacy hygiene.
I would love to drop YT all together, but some independent journalists I follow are all there who’s coverage is really on the pulse. It pays to be informed by good journalists these days, and many of them are unfortunately on YT.
