  • I haven’t used windows for over 9 years now, and it still blows my mind that I read about these constant bugs just like when I used it, only back then there was a bug every now and then and they usually got taken care of within a week, but now it’s like 1 bug gets squashed, but only after 5 more are already in place. Not trying to shit in anyone here, because if you need Windows, you need it, end of story. But I can’t recommend that everyone tried Linux for at least a month enough. Give it a shot, install it in dual boot, spend some time in it, if it doesn’t work for you, that’s that, but at least you tried it.









  • Understand that encryption is useless if 1 or more of the parties in a group is already compromised. That’s the problem. Signal’s encryption is great, but you are not anonymous in it. Additionally, even if, like me, you only use your handle and hide your phone number, most people tend to name your contact with your name anyway, effectively breaking the purpose. I use signal only because I’m sure my data is not being sucked as with WhatsApp, but I’m not dreaming for a second that someone will not fuck up at some point and give me away, so I keep stuff I don’t want out there to personal interactions.
