    It’s simple, if everybody were to get rewarded the same no matter how hard or how little they worked, then everyone would put the bare minimum, or even worse, not do anything at all, and there would be no productivity in society. That is when the “government” which theoretically should not even exist in communism but in practice is impossible, would step in and force labor, as we saw for example with the Soviet Union.





  • What you are referring to is called a threat model. Everyone’s threat model is different. Edge is still significantly better than using Chrome or Opera in my opinion, especially on Windows because Microsoft already has your data at the OS level so using a different browser does not make a huge difference anyways , unless you use very hardened Firefox with fingerprinting resistance and a whole bunch of other settings which just improves your browsing privacy but Microsoft will still have your data. In my opinion, for the average threat model, Edge with the strict privacy setting, telemetry turned off, and Ublock origin installed is more than adequate.




  • First I did it for privacy and to embrace free software.

    However overtime I started to notice how much of a bloat Windows really was and my laptop runs a lot better, although I still have Windows installed because certain applications I need do not run on Linux or a virtualized Windows container unfortunately. I have also started to notice how much Windows tries to force you to use their Microsoft products like Edge Cortana and whatnot and force you into making a Microsoft account now, I mean shit I have a local account setup and one time when I was booting into Windows it asked me to create a Microsoft account, but luckily there was an option to just say no I want to keep using my local account. Outrageous.
