That is the opposite of never forgetting.

Brave as a browser is fine for now.

But they’re crypto bros with concerning views and it’s just yet another chromium browser.

We really have an issue with the monoculture of web browsers.

Why is it not “risc it for a biscuit”?

True, but imo ddg has gotten pretty close in terms of capability.

But Google has become the Walmart of the internet. The only thing their missing is a literal storefront.

Need email? Gmail. Need a browser? Google Chrome Want entertainment? YouTube Search engine? Google Phone OS? Android (most) Chromebooks, Google Office Suite, AdSense.

Google has way too much power over the internet.

Maybe in a server environment it may be. But even in my home server setup, arch just works.

I even took the easy way out with archinstall for both.

I know that’s not very “I use arch btw” of me, but my server’s hardware literally died before my arch install did. And then I just dropped it into new hardware and it just worked.

I’ve been running that server for 2 years, and my Desktop for less than 1 on raw arch. I used to use Manjaro but I switched to Arch because Manjaro’s packages were always annoyingly neglected. The amount of Times I had to circumvent Manjaro’s repositories to install the latest discord was rediculous. But even with Manjaro, my install never bricked.

I’ve had Debian based installs like Ubuntu and Pop Os all brick before. Trying to do Qemu or edit some grub options and poof broken.

Don’t know why, double, triple checked what the guide said.

But it still broke. And I think that’s mostly because Unlike arch, most user friendly distros assume the user either isnt going to use these power user features or can just use online guides.

Problem is online guides frequently go out of date.

The arch wiki is always pretty consistently up to date enough not to cause issues. That random no-name website article is not.

Pop_OS - Fragile Beginner Distro, this is fine to use so long as you’re not a power user, but you’re using Linux so…

Manjaro - Maintain your damn repos, why is it whenever discord updates, the repo is so far out of date I literally have to circumvent it and install it through some hacky bullshit?

Ubuntu - Snap? More like Thanos Snapd off my damn drive thank you very much.

Fedora - just overrated, nothing terribly against it, just don’t think it’s all it’s cracked up to be. It’s just a RHEL adjacent Distro.

Linux Mint - aside from Debian edition, its pretty overrated. It’s easy compatible Ubuntu. It’s not super Ubuntu or anything.

Pop_OS!

Manjaro

Ubuntu

Fedora

Linux Mint

TSMC doesn’t make everything.

There are morally abhorrent chip manufacturers in South Korea and Japan as well.

They either fade into obscurity or blow up in a disasterous blaze of drama and controversy.

How hard is it to just not be an asshole?

Chainmail Hauberk - it’s fine until it’s hot. 16 decoy wallets - who needs money, buy more wallets. Tactical Glock - Lämp Pacifier, Blankie and Baby Toy - ??? A Rose - wholesome Santiago - Oh Ok The keys to heaven and hell - for janitorial duties I suppose The weight of knowledge - oh, I understand now. 300 loads of cement per hour - pave the earth 16 Pictures of ma - for the 16 wallets. Cyanide Pill - I wonder if this is also a decoy. Your heart - again, no idea.

For every Renaissance there is a Dark Age.

Google broke on Firefox for a while a day ago for me. Went to some other search engine.

Jumping from social media is hard.

Jumping from applications is not.

teamspeak became Skype which became discord.

And many of us did leave Reddit. I didn’t even leave because I cared about the protests or what Reddit was doing. I left because many posts were deleted, people left, subreddits became abandoned.

Lemmy became better than Reddit basically overnight.

The likelihood that windows doesn’t have a back door for the US government is irrelevant.

No windows user can guarantee every part of their OS is clean.

Linux users have the advantage of Open Source.

If you run Linux, you can audit the code. Can’t do that for windows.
