This is something I never knew that I needed. Thanks Prahou!

I’ve wondered that myself, but I’ve come to the conclusion that transgender individuals seem to value their privacy more than the average person. This is all due to increased cyber bullying to them online. Linux is well known for being free from data collection (except Ubuntu) and corporate greed, so it would make sense if this was an operating system of choice.

This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who watched this movie, and to think Linux users did too!

In my opinion, technology keeps improving, however that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s getting better. I think innovation in technology peaked from the 2000s to the early 2010s, after this period however, it has continually become more and more “enshitified,” meaning that features no one wanted suddenly being added. For example, “ai coffee maker” (this is real), like who asked for this? Not to mention, not only is everything more bloated, but levels of privacy have decreased significantly; every aspect of your digital life is capitalized on for advertising. The early 2010s were simpler times.

Also, Ladybird is looking very promising, so in a few years we should have a true fourth browser engine.

So you think it is from the manufacturer?

It’s giving me My Neighbor Totoro vibes

While this is true, Discord has a massive user base, so it’s somewhat a privacy win for the common person

Yes I am the next Picasso!

I really appreciate this answer, I will totally check it out

I’m curious @pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org, what do you like about BSD? How is it “better” than something like Linux? You work has inspired me to try it, so I am going to use it at some point, but before I do, what makes it so good? I have an old ThinkPad lying around that may be perfect for testing it out.

Seems like Tor snowflake is a proxy that makes your internet traffic appear as a video call. Its purpose is to circumvent censorship, but it may get around firewalls as well. I have no experience bypassing firewalls using snowflake, but it may be a viable option (someone correct me if I’m wrong) https://snowflake.torproject.org/

I’ve checked it out, and it looks really good, sort of like arc browser. It’s very stylish, and since it’s Firefox-based, supports ublock origin. It’s obviously not finished yet though, so I’ll stay on Floorp until it reaches beta or stable. I’m totally switching once it gets there

Better granpheneos I guess?

Chromium is technically open source, but yeah, screw Google chrome

Why do people run windows servers when Linux exists, it’s literally a no brainer.

Open source will always be the best option, especially with a government supporting it! Imagine what government funding could do to accelerate improvements to Linux

Stupid Edge uses like 2-3 gb on my PC, then it says “you have insufficient data, free up space”

I just tried it and it worked flawlessly, my TV is a lot less sluggish now. Just make sure you turn off Windows Defender before using.
