I use all three. I have Windows on one of my machines that I use occasionally for gaming. I use Macs for work since that’s what all my corporate machines comes with and I daily drive Linux and use it for all my home servers.

Keep in mine not everyone uses TOR to evade the three letter agencies. I’m a TOR relay operator and the main reason I’m running it is to give people in oppressive regimes a better chance at exchanging free information. To these people getting spied on by western intelligence agencies is probably the lesser evil compared to their own tinpot dictatorship governments.
They already do this. I was offered to plug some kind of monitoring device into my car for a period of time to determine my driving behavior for potential lower rates. I went for higher rates.
As someone who works in the tech industry. I can tell you people here are not tech illiterate, but most just dgaf about privacy when they can trade it in for convenience. That’s why most of them are okay with designing apps that have zero respect to user privacy and they see nothing wrong with it.
Some malicious users do use VPNs to send spams and many websites automatically bans these IPs. Normally switching to a different VPN server will resolve the issue.
Donated $20 to GrapheneOS when I first installed it. $5/mo to Signal. Local charities in my hometown.
I wouldn’t call going from mad profits to okay profits a sign of downfall. Having decentralized technology doesn’t mean decentralization will actually happen. For instance look at E-mail. It is technically a decentralized service, but most people still uses services provided by big tech vs operating their own servers. Such a system does give you more choices, but don’t expect this future will be without big tech.
replying to you on lemmy discussing perfectly legal topics, so I have the it pointed to a node in my city for best performance
Not trying to dismiss your sufferings but I still think our generation had it way better than our grandparents, and probably better than 90% of the people in the world if you live in an advanced economy. For instance my grandfather went through the bloodiest war in human history, a bloody civil war, and a famine that killed millions of people. The problem right now is getting all the negative information that you have no control over from the internet, that’s why I stay away from tuning into any news these days.
The closest country with the friendliest law of what I’m currently trying to do
Then you need both anonymity and privacy. Sometimes you do need both but they’re not the same concept.
Privacy without anonymity is you using the bathroom with everyone seeing you walking in. They know you used the bathroom but have no idea what you did inside.
Anonymity without privacy is like you pissing on the street with a ski mask on. Everyone saw what you did but no one knows who you are.
Having both is walking into the bathroom with a ski mask on. No one knows who you are nor what you did inside.
Can you do usb drag and drop for kindles? I always thought you need to send the book over to the special kindle email address.
Informative tech content. I’m right leaning but more towards the center so I don’t agree with everything he says politically speaking, but I have no issues viewing his content since at the end of the day he’s still libertarian and anti-establishment. I also have no problems holding conversations with the anarcho socialists on lemmy, because at the end of the day they’re also not advocating for more control over my life, we just have disagreements on the technical details of how society should work.
I use a roll reverser app on my macbook to get around this problem. You can configure touchpad to be natural and mouse to be traditional
Because it works, has okay configurations out of the box, and I just don’t really care enough about the points mentioned in this article to make the switch. I only use it for cases where I don’t expect privacy like government websites. As soon as you open an account there they got all your info anyway.
I use Brave as a secondary browser mostly for government websites because sometimes my firefox privacy settings breaks them and since many of them are poorly designed a technical issue over your account may result in hours on the phone to resolve.
My mom is tech illiterate and I buy all her devices for her. If I gave her a Mac she’ll just use it without knowing what OS it is.
This is very true. I lived in a big city for a couple years and I still ended up ordering a huge batch of groceries on the weekend instead of visiting a local store every other day. It’s an extremely hard habit to break off.
I daily drive Fedora because RHEL is what my industry uses and it’s good to stay on top of the technology.
