Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...
Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That’s enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.
Lol, if you like. I don’t support Google at all (at least, the violation of privacy rights). But I can see why their behavior happens, and it’s more to do with corruption and apathy. I blame the average person more than Google, because if it wasn’t tolerated (I.e., people in general gave the slightest shit) or privacy laws were enforced and/or written for the digital age, it wouldn’t happen. And since it is tolerated, companies that don’t participate are largely outcompeted by those that do.
I am viscerally disgusted by where privacy is at in the digital age, but at this point, no, I don’t see it as a problem with any particular tech company.
There’s no point in hating Google. Hate the systemic inadequacies that allow their abuse, and those of other tech giants, to not only thrive but become borderline mandatory for success at that level.
Hard to say. Information is valuable in any type of economy, so it may be more to do with where public concensus lies on privacy issues, and the competency/trustworthiness of oversight.
Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.
You don’t have to use any software from Proton VPN, they will allow you to download openvpn and wireguard config files so you can set up your own client. Takes some more effort to do it right, yes, but its a good option if you’re up for it.
