Always felt shifty with their marketing attempts "hey, this looks really cool. It has this extensive list of features. I've not tried it, what do you think?".

Feels I was right to be skeptical. Email is sensitive information and not something you can quickly jump to new shiny thing in town. Proton mail is king for me, but at least Tuta been around a while.

A bit delayed, but you posted in fuck cars, about why car disincentive schemes are a cash grab. It wasn't about Fox news.

I mean, I don't disagree with you that if you don't use the proceeds to help the planet or infrastructure improvements for non-car users, it is just a cash grab, but you probably needs to be aware what community you're on, and what the consensus view is. Saying that 4chan is for right wing racist kids on green text is going to get you swimming in downvotes. It doesn't mean anything bad about you, or your view, it just means you probably weren't fully aware of the context and probably are a little bit sensitive about downvotes. Karma does not matter here, and disagreements and downvotes mean people care about what you say, even if it's in a disagreeable way.

I don't agree with your take, but I appreciate you being here. :)

But the people who shoehorn Linux into every conversation are also the ones who spend more time finding acceptance online rather than actually being “friends” with people IRL. Tbh, I have you coined for a stereotype I know and I apologize about that. I can’t help it. I just know mfers who talk like you are commenting so my bad if I attach opinions to you, I really don’t mean to. That’s why I’m trying to ask questions.

Can you give an example of people shoehorning Linux into conversations? Usually the only comment I see is already on Linux, and it's the Arch btw's, which is a meme in itself. Maybe you need to search for subs you like, and subscribe to them, and have subscribed as the default view. All may not be your cup of tea, like all was never my cup of tea on reddit. You're not always going to be in the majority view, and that is fine.

The thing is, most western governments are pushing towards facial recognition and monitoring without the need for a warrant. Most countries are already stacked up to the eyeballs with CCTV (UK for example, and hooking that in with facial recognition is dangerous). First they start off with it being for terrorists, then paedophiles, then other criminals, but ultimately, it's monitoring everyone to track down a few. When you have that infra in place, and you don't have sufficient oversight, you can soon tweak that towards activist groups, then opposition groups etc.

You have to challenge it before the infrastructure goes in, because after it's in, it's already too late.

I don't see why not. There is a difference between an off chance of someone noticing you vs. camera's with high accuracy recognising your face and being able to track your locations, what places you visited and who with for every minute of every day.

Manjaro. I've never known a distro break as much as this.

I generally don't like to judge distro's, because they've all got pros and cons. With Manjaro, the pros column is pretty empty :).

Definitely would agree with this. The best of a bad bunch. I use it for nearly all my search.

Did see some sketchy stuff with the android app/browser so probably would avoid... and besides, I'm in a decades long relationship with firefox <3.
