I think you are asking the right questions, IMO. It isn’t out of the ordinary for this kind of thing go happen there are for sure prevention methods used.

I am far more interested in the failure than the statement itself.

All neat,

Pixel sort of does the first one.

All phones basically do the second one.

Goodlock is fucking awesome.

The last one, while cool, could also be unhealthy.

It is Lemmy and users on here tend to think they know more because they don’t use something that someone else does.

Not an SO story.

Not to you know brag or anything here guys but I did have 3 people fighting over me once.

2 of them actively ended up sleeping together to try and get me to pick one of them.

I chalk it up to, “pfft it’s because he uses Linux.”

Kidding of course. In all honesty, I had gone through a very confusing breakup. At the time I was sleeping with three people. All of them knew about one another and they all knew I wasn’t looking for anything serious because of the previous breakup. I was also trying to finish school.

All three people were really sweet and I still talk to two of the 3 and they are good people. We were all 4 going through a confusing time in our life. The one I don’t speak to now is married. I wish all of them well.

Also, before you ask. (You won’t but I feel the need to clarify) I am genuinely meh on the attractive scale or so I am told. So I don’t know which black magic was at work but it was a fun and stressful time.

I am reading half of these stories and just appreciating how all three of the people knew about each other and all ended up being chill with one another and me. You all are dealing with some crazy shit.

This is sus…

Are you sure you aren’t a drug?

It’s because they use Linux.

Break into hers next. That will show her.

No that is why she asks Husband #3 to read his name out loud when he is hitting it from behind.

“Do you like me?”

Yes or No

“Look, I know you think I am insane, but let’s be reasonable. Are you sure you don’t want to be with me?”

I have been using Blokada 6 which is a subscription based VPN service. There is a decentralized service called Matrix that lets you run the Fediverse version of Discord called Element.

Element is where I heard of Mullvad and learned more about VPNs and how they work or how most of them operate.

Here is what you need to know if you want a standard VPN that just blocks ads and does the basics there are plenty out there, Blokada 6 being one of the best.

If you are truly concerned and care about your data being encrypted from point to point then there are very few of those. The benefit to Mullvad is it does just this and is tested by it’s users and they are based in Sweden. There is a classification of people o like to call paranoid but those same people genuinely love Mullvad, sooooo. I gave it a shot.

The company doesn’t believe in a subscription model. You pay as you want and go and can even pay for it by mail. Here is what I like. Mullvad offers a browser based on Tor that Tor trusts.

Mullvad will protect you using Open VPN or WireGaurd if you like data encryption on your network work. Not only that it will actively monitor and tell you if you have a DNS leak which is when your DNS isn’t being protected properly and can potentially be seen by your network providers and others. Not only this, it works, it isn’t slow, and it’s encrypted all the way around.

I will be switching to Mullvad permanently once my next Blokada payment comes out.

Terminal on Windows looks amazing.

I second this. Lemmy is fully of “techy people” that think the only way to be “techy” is the way they define it without realizing if you aren’t universally adept or open then you are curating your content to a point you are part of the “sheep” you claim not to be a part of.

If you like anything you pay for then you are wrong. If you still use Windows you are wrong. You need to abandon everything Google and Apple but still buy a Google product and run a degooglefied version of the product. So give the company you hate your money but not your data. Makes perfect sense.

It’s either Linux or the highway but not everyone wants to use a terminal to use Mullvad or Tor every time you want to access the web to shop for a pair of shoes. Despite the fact you can write a script that still requires you to use a terminal to run Tor or what ever.

Not everyone wants Torrent speeds to pirate that piece of Microsoft software or movie. Some of us want to be, “normies” and just buy and use things that work without all the work that is unnecessary in our every day lives. We want to go to work, make money, spend time around people and things we love.

Yes, we get it we are the reason corporations and capitalism exist but I don’t see your FOSS downloads and open source software slowing that way down. We don’t need online tech heros who can prove you can free yourself. We need activists and people like that running got local politics and leadership helping actually put a stop to being taken advantage of.

Posting something about Unity enraging game companies is something anyone can do. But shoving a community off that you should be respectfully educating rather than shunning just because someone didn’t want to pirate a movie and instead watch it on a Windows machine through Linux isn’t or doesn’t change anything.

I am no longer on Reddit but Lemmy is fully of tech people who also often have 0 fucking clue what they are talking about. Which is quite ironic.

The game I want to play isn’t available on Linux.

Care to explain your gripes?

At least with NVIDIA’s control panel I can find what I am looking for but my god AMD’s software feels so damn unorganized.

I mean not everyone’s thoughts deserve to be paid for…

I think AMD is a great competitor and we need more competition to lay it to NVIDIA and AMD as well, BUT HOLY FUCK. I can’t stand AMD’s software/control panel vs NVIDIA’s.

Mario Kart, I was a military brat my dad was kind of a jerk he played to beat me one day I got really good and kept beating him. He quit playing after that. Then he quit with everything else I beat him at.

I am about to go back to reddit because Lemmy users suck as human beings. I can’t believe the user base that was here before Reddit users think they are somehow fucking better.

They think they are alternative to an average person somehow. Constant posts about how they are different but after seeing a post of them comparing trans protesting to the extremism of the KKK and seeing the comments be full of people talking about how they are “middle people” they “stay on the fence” and are “different” because they don’t believe in being extremist. I think I am done with this fucking place.

“Ah yes, I can operate and use the internet entirely free of charge and those running the internet can also profit and run it free of charge.”

Apparently people have no idea how the Internet came to be and how it operates.
