Idk (I’m not op) but I think when people say “can I install Linux on this” everyone knows they mean gnu/Linux. Yes, if I’m picking a container base image obviously alpine is also Linux, and if we’re talking about kernels then Android is too. But if we’re talking about desktop OSes then I think it’s close enough.

Yes, if you have a domain you can catch all emails being sent there even if you don’t know the name - having the domain means controlling the bit after the @, so every email address with that ending.

Everyone’s level of clever/readable is different

They couldn’t give less of a shit about the 7 people in the world that use pi-holes

Even if it was it wouldn’t be worth it

Who cares lmao

That’s not a source. By that metric every American AV has an NSA backdoor. And, ok, both of these are probably true tbh. But Kaspersky publishes extremely good security research and analysis which is just technical and totally possible to verify independently, so there’s no reason to avoid those, even if you don’t want to use their software.

Yes, it’s pure unfiltered bullshit. A time honoured way to get investment tbh

No that’s correct

I agree with all of that, there’s no need to claim that I’d prefer people “shut up”. Yes, things will keep getting worse, probably for quite a while. Probably a serious percentage of people will die avoidable deaths. But I sincerely doubt society will crumble. It’s been through worse. Society didn’t crumble in the black plague, when two thirds of the population died a horrible death. It will be a shittier life than we were used to last century, but not the apocalypse, and people will still grow old, and need to retire.

That’s what they said then too

no one says no profits should be had at all.

Actually quite a few of us do say that

It stands about twice as high as everything around it and it’s capped with snow in the summer too (hence the name), it’s iconic af

I thought it was about having some browser extension that clicks ads on sites without showing the ads to the user. Like a kind of “best of both worlds” for adblocking. So if it’s some blog they read often the ad revenue is probably more like $1 per year.

If you were to use Facebook they can make money off your views even without clicks, just not as much.

Far from true depending on where OP lives. High profile sites (e.g. mainstream social media or streaming) can make $ 5-15 USD per user per month if that user is in favourable demographic (mainly living in a rich country, US or EU). A blog without registration will make way less than that, obviously people are viewing way less ads there than sites they stay on for hours, but it’s still much more than $1 per lifetime.

Google pays as much as 2c per page view for North American viewers in some categories (but realistically more like 0.5c). So $1 is good for a few hundred page views.

Endeavour is better for that, after the install you’ll have plain arch but with a bunch of stuff installed and already set up

They don’t need a carve out for that, police discretion will do

Police discretion will already make an exception for them even it’s not explicitly carved out, there is no silver lining, it’s just more police state shit

Yeah lol of course, they would absolutely love any excuse to do that

But the privacy is just a facade, right? Like with that recent scandal about the government requesting push notification info, Google of all companies was actually only handing it over with valid warrants while Apple was giving it to any law enforcement who asked.
