  • I guess I can do it. It doesn't sound too complicated 😀

  • Imagine switching to Linux and installing Microsoft Edge 💀

  • Indeed, I use VSCodium on my Fedora system every day, but since the question was about VSCode, I provided information specifically related to VSCode.

    Debian rigorously tests its packages over an extended period before they are released in the official version, ensuring a very stable system. This approach means the software is generally older, but it's been thoroughly vetted. Fedora, on the other hand, provides newer software while still maintaining a good level of stability.

    On the other hand, Arch Linux — and its sub-distributions like Manjaro and Gentoo — releases software much more quickly, sometimes almost immediately which can kill your system during updates. I'd go so far as to say that Arch Linux is less stable than Windows.

    TL;DR: If you don't want to find out five minutes before an online meeting that your system won't boot — avoid Arch Linux.

  • In all honesty, you should decide between Debian and Fedora. If you're new to this, stay away from Arch Linux, Gentoo, or Manjaro. Simplicity is key. The two systems I mentioned are known for their reliability, so you should be fine with either one.

  • Spotify auto-generated playlists

  • And in Linux, you install the system, create an account.... and that's it

  • We need to make more memes like this. Now we are considered crazy using Linux. They need to be repaid for it 🥰

  • Let's clone Russia, censor it and ban original

  • Okay. I figured it out.

    9.9.9.9 has something they call Threat Blocking. I need to use 9.9.9.10 to keep using their DNS without Threat Blocking.

    But why are they blocking it?

  • I noticed that recently every post on Proton's blog has been an advertisement of their services.

    They are hypocrites.

    A few days ago they posted that corporations are bad because they collect fingerprints, profile users, etc., yet they are no better, as their mobile apps rely on Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) owned by Google to deliver notifications to their users.

    In 2020 they wrote that they "may offer alternative push notification system", but apparently shitting on corporations is easier than making actual changes. Four years ago.

  • I second this answer. Vikunja is like a selfhosted Trello

  • NLPs

    Jump
  • By default, none. You can install Google services, then your phone will use their proprietary NLP system.

    You can also install microG (an application that pretends to be a Google service and connects to it, but sending minimal data, respecting your privacy) and then you will use MozillaNLP and DejaVuNLP at the same time.

    MozillaNLP: you send a list of WiFi networks around you to Mozilla over the Internet, you get location data

    DejaVuNLP: a local database built on your phone. When a GPS location signal is available, DejaVu fetches the list of WiFi networks and adds this list of networks corresponding to the given GPS coordinates to its database for later use

  • Imagine not being able to upgrade your Linux because you have modified YOUR system to suit YOUR needs. Fuck them...
