p2p traffic for torrenting isn't enabled on proton vpn free version. So using it would not protect your torrenting.

Do you mean the winrar exploit? I don't know of or can find any other exploit related to rar files. If this is what you mean, it only affects winrar which is only on windows and most people use 7zip anyways.

90% of people who use computers just need the web browser and some sort of office suite and whatever proprietary software their job tells them to use.

I don't think they would find much if any use to command line tools.

Some adobe products are way ahead of the competition (patenting useful stuff) and they integrate nicely with each other. I don't use them out of principle but that's why people use them.

I have like 10mbps upload and it works fine outside my network.

I just use mpv to watch videos if invidious doesn't work.

Varjo headsets. Apple actually used Varjo's headsets to test out the software for the Vision Pro while developing it. There isn't any software specifically for the Varjo headsets since its just business focused.

Apple's headset is much cheaper than Varjo's, somehow, despite having similar tech.

They can sell you a 100 dollar elite strap if the strap has nothing and is removable.

Well you don't just use the flashcards, You have to use textbooks and practice on supplementary material. Those aren't really software that can be open source.

Also Duolingo removed its grammar lessons a while ago, so its really not that different from flashcards now. EDIT: nevermind they only removed grammar on desktop.

Duolingo is pretty bad at teaching you a language so I don't think we really need to make an open source alternative. If you want to actually learn a language, just use anki (anki is open source) for flashcards and get a textbook. I say anki because it uses a spaced repetition system which is the only way to effectively study more than 100 flashcards and there are browser plugins that allow you to create new flashcards from a couple clicks on a new word. Once you get far enough you won't have to use the textbook and will be able to just sentence mine for words and have to google the occasional grammar point.

lol I got trolled by that once. Luckily they just did rm -rf / instead of hacking me.

No I don't on pc. It feels more natural to do reverse scrolling for me on a mouse. On my laptop when I use a window manager it defaults to reverse scrolling, but when I switch to a desktop environment it defaults to natural scrolling, so I just go with whatever the laptop gives me on the touchpad.

Yeah, well distrobox is just a wrapper around podman. I prefer installing some server software outside of containers though. Interaction with distrobox is closer to the feeling of using software outside of a container. Dealing with docker networking and storage can be kind of a pain.

Don't use arch, a lot of server software I use don't have arch builds so I had to use distrobox to get the software.

Thats true, but you can still use it as a currency if you want to buy illegal drugs, or donations to organizations that accept it (with monero so its untraceable) and buying mullvad vpn. It's not stable, but its an accepted way of transferring money that can be as private as cash.

Cryptocurrency has its uses as unregulated currency, though that makes it easy to scam people with it.

That's great! If you need any help in the future, I'm always open.

My printer doesn't work. Though tbf it doesn't work on windows either.
