I don’t have that issue.

That’s worrying…

I just use Kubuntu and stop worrying.

SSSSHHHHHHHH!!! 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 Don’t give anyone any ideas.

You wish. It’s not gonna happen with these douchebags in power.

They also block any content, even private messages that contain Bluesky for example.

Man why not just use Kubuntu and be done with it. You get proprietary drivers out of the box along with proprietary codecs and all.

Steam, Heroic, etc all install great with the packaging system of your choice (deb, snap, flatpak, appimage whatever)

Seriously, I complained about snaps at first, but as a daily user for several months now as a gaming system it works fucking great. And it’s stable as heck so I NEVER have any problems.

I ALREADY DO GOD DAMMIT! (Seriously I have pen pals. I write letters every year. I’m actually late and need to write them!)

That’s why I just upgraded my subscription to Proton. (YES I KNOW ABOUT ALL THE DRAMA WITH THEIR CEO!!! AT LEAST THEY’RE NOT SELLING AI SERVICES TO MILITARY CONTRACTORS, DOING MASS SURVEILLANCE OR SELLING MY FUCKING DATA!)

Is that tinfoil hat comfortable?

That’s an uninformed statement.

You get to pick your provider. So pick one that you trust.

It’s FAR better than without as your ISP is probably selling your traffic to third parties or at least monitoring it. Some VPNs don’t.

Tor over VPN

Use a VPN. Problem solved.

This is dystopian level privacy nightmare.

I’m so glad I sold last week at 140. I’ve been meaning to get rid of them as soon as Trump got in office because I had a gut feeling he might fuck something up.

But surprise! China pops up with its own AI and shit hits the fan. It probably won’t last though, but I ain’t buying nvda anymore. Not with their CEO falling in line with every other techno fascists.

Well yeah. That’s what I’m doing.

I won’t argue with you there. Don’t get me wrong, Linus Torvald’s contribution to the world is huge. And the Linux kernel being an open source project, I’m sure he had to deal with his share of angry dickwads.

In his defence, he did take a break and did some anger management therapy.

But, if he’s an angry asshole, than that’s what it is. I still prefer an tolerant and inclusive asshole than one that won’t own up to his mistakes and make women feel physically threatened.

So the real choice here is between a shit sandwich or a douche.

I just hate fanboys who’ll defend someone famous tooth and nail no matter what, like that person can do no wrong. I’m just so tired of this. Whether it’s Linus fans or Musk fans or whatever.

I used to love what LTT did, NGL. I really enjoyed their channel. I also had my reservations at first when I heard that girl’s story. But looking a little further I found they didn’t treat their employees nicely, especially if they were women. And Linus’ attitude towards the people he wronged really irked me. So fuck him.

And every time I mentioned that story, the little fan boys come out of the woodwork and all reply with that same stupid comment. We don’t know how that company, that LMG paid for, did their investigation, we don’t know what evidence was presented to them, so what do we really know about this invetigation? Just because they didn’t find anything doesn’t mean nothing wrong was done.

It’s only been one week and I’m already fucking tired. There’s going to be four fucking years of this fucking bullshit. That’s if we’re lucky and he doesn’t transform the US into a full blown dictatorship with president for life status.
