Fair, but it takes much more than the average home selfhoster’s level of competence.

To be fair, self-hosting is more difficult and less secure.

The thing is though, many like to put in an effort and no one cares to hack your server, unlike something like Google.

Having both options available would be pretty nice

Maybe we should cripple ourselves

Naaaaah

Maybe we can become rich and dominate others

That’s what’s actually on their mind.

The entire right-wing propaganda goes as: “if you work hard and make smart choices, you’ll become rich too and will be able to exploit others for your benefit”. The rest are seen as passive doomer mob that just aren’t dedicated enough, and so end up subjugated by the alphas who pushed hard to pursue their dream (to dominate others and live a rich life on their backs).

This kind of propaganda works beautifully well on young folks who didn’t yet get to experience just how hard and unlikely it is to build a successful business or high-payed career, especially without compromising on one’s principles.

About 10th, really

Seems like Americans also choose cars by this principle

It is! But the extent to which it is used is limited by the efficiency losses that come with electrolysis, logistics, and reverse conversion.

I assume it could still be useful in applications that require long hauls, as dragging a heavy and expensive battery around can negate efficiency benefits over the long runs.

Made me wonder if they introduced CSAM detection to fill their collection…

Yeah, not the most impressive hardware, but it is what we have

Solid option

This is meant for beginners in the privacy space, and as such, it tries to minimize complications and barriers to entry.

Installing Linux is a nuclear option for most people. Of they see that, they just…won’t, and also won’t complete the rest. Make it easy.

Also, the article mentions this is not the end. Next year may come with harder things, including - yes - Linux.

It essentially is multiple OSes, one host and plethora of separate virtual machines that only communicate what they were designed to communicate.

This way pretty much nothing can get access to userspace.

True

But I don’t expect for many people to conduct complicated debug on the go.

Though the FSF audience is quite geeky indeed.

When I first tried it out in a VM, it was just a pinch of curiosity. Some people argue for Linux, so, maybe there’s some merit to that? And, unlike MacOS, you can install it anywhere without all the hackery.

When I actually tried it (my first one was Manjaro KDE, and that’s what I stuck with for my first 1,5 years later when I decided to go for a real install), I was amazed at how smooth and frictionless everything is.

The system is blazing fast, even on a limited VM, there’s no bloat anywhere, no ads, no design choices to trick you into doing something you don’t want to. The interface is way more ergonomic and out of the way at the same time. Seriously, Microsoft, do learn from KDE, pretty please.

So, when I moved to a new home, I decided that my virtual home needs an upgrade as well. I installed Linux alongside Windows (on two different physical drives), and ran it as dual-boot ever since. Not that I address Windows that much (normally about once in two to three months), but it’s handy to keep around.

Later, I went into some distro-hopping and also got a laptop, which has become my testing grounds. After trying various options, namely Mint, Arch/EndeavourOS, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE, I gravitated towards the latter, and I use it as my regular daily driver on both my desktop (Tumbleweed) and laptop (Slowroll). I love how it manages to keep the system both up-to-date and extremely stable, and has everything set up just right (except KDE defaults, what the hell is wrong with SUSE folks on that end? Luckily, it takes 5 minutes to change). So, there it is!

Heard of that claim before, but didn’t find studies to back it up, so didn’t include it here. Won’t be surprised if it is true, though

Damn I use the “obsessive compulsive” scheme and I really do have OCD

How do you know?!

TL;DR The most prominent correlation is between pedophilia and CSA victimhood. Survivors are more likely to develop pedophilic tendencies themselves, though most still don’t.

Absolutely. Bring justice to chomos!
