Weird privacy things like this happen to me as well. I’m just putting it down to the placebo effect, I don’t think it really can see your browser unless microsoft is exploiting some security vulnerability in your os.

Do you self-host email?

I think signal, proton and tuta are totally fine for most peoples threat model unless they feel they need the extra privacy.

If we want everyone to value privacy then we need to onboard them with easy to use and accessible services first and then they can take steps further if they want.

I agree. Passwords and 2fa definetly leans more on the security side rather than privacy. It’s important to keep these two terms destinct.

I can second this. When I first installed Linux I partitioned it to work on the same ssd as my windows install. I must have made a mistake (I don’t know what) because my windows install ended up being formatted and I lost a copy of a video game world I had put over 100 hours of work in with a friend, it was very sad.

I thought I had a backup but I didn’t test it properly so I actually didn’t have a backup. I guess everyone needs to make this sort of mistake once.

That’s pretty cool, maybe I should do that.

I really like this flag too. It’s nice and simple like other flags, not too much going on.

Honestly, looks good to me.

I really like the idea of a flag to unify the privacy community but I’m going to go with the consensus with the hand: it’s probably a bit too complex. I think a flag should be easily made into a vector format that is easy to draw and replicate.

Say if someone wanted to draw a protest board with this on it. It would be really difficult to accurately draw the hand without good drawing skills.

That’s interesting, and unexpected. Thanks for sharing.

I will second this.

I’ve found the only real way to find good media to watch is to talk to others with similar interests and ideas and they generally have good recommendations.

This is horrible, I remember they did the same thing with Facebook marketplace (only for everything not only NSFW lol) although you can just use a random AI generated face.

Well I say it’s no wonder people gravitate towards it but I don’t actually like it myself. It sucks that they make it basically impossible to upgrade snything. And that there storage and RAM upgrades cost several times more than they should.

I have a Macbool air (not by choice) and I installed asahi linux a couple of weeks ago. Main take away is that it’s really good except for software support. I’ve had a bit of trouble finding programs that work well on arm even open source projects often don’t compile there programs to work on arm.

Wait do you put all of your posts under a CC license?

I think generally macos users would feel more at home in gnome where as windows users more in kde.

Linux is so much more stable than windows and its free+open source so everyone uses Linux on servers.

It’s no wonder people gravitate towards apple, it’s almost impossible to find a good laptop amongst this mess.

Sorry for not answering your questions, I haven’t used arch before. But dang that sucks I’ve been wanting to try arch for a little while but I didn’t know they would happily push updates they know will break certain programs.

I don’t really understand either. Where are the Gentoo and LFS elitists? It seams like there should be more of those than arch elitests. Maybe it’s just because more people use arch.

I swear meta is just built different in terms on spying on people compared to everyone else. It’s like they have a team of ex non ethical elite hackers to find security vulnerabilities in everything and exploit everything as much as possible.
