Proton is not a linux distribution it is a compatibility layer for Windows apps to run on Linux.

For a linux beginner I’d recommend Linux Mint definitely.

Your “Games are the only software that it is acceptable to pay for” take is based

VPNs are not a good option. Use Tor. The problem with VPNs is that you can’t prove that logs aren’t kept, companies are not trustworthy. A “VPN” is a “Virtual Private Network” and the system is intended for accessing a private network, not for accessing the internet. “VPN” companies’s products are not VPNs they are encrypted proxies.

You can access YT content via Invidious

https://invidious.io/ is the project page

https://inv.nadeko.net/ is my preferred instance

You said you fixed it with a script did you remember to disable the script

You should remember to send all YT videos that you watch to archive.org

There are browser extensions to do this conveniently

Why is this being downvoted?? This is a valid question.

We know that it surges at Republican conventions.

The post implies but does not actually show us that this is disproportionate to other congregations.

Oh i see

Breaking news

Random person (me) links Republican Party of the USA to idiocy!

it is a parody seemingly, according to @gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de’s comment

It seems to be a meme/parody instance

Probably a meme instance / parody

The thing is, they often don’t believe that vaccines work

When is the year of the linux phone

what is this idea of “thin phone”??? A thick phone could fit more battery and specs and better camera

people around the world are fascinated by the sheer lack of phone here

My thoughts exactly

Forums are only sort of social media

There is less focus on users and more on topics, and they have more practical uses than social media

But still, Lemmy is social media, I guess.

Then people move to Linux

If implemented this should only apply to paid OS’s or ones where a licence comes with the hardware

No license is needed for Linux

forcing people to support a project for Y amount of years would really harm indie developers releasing Linux distros and the like

Solution: implement as consumer protection that only applies to paid OS’s (and also ones that require a license, even if it’s “free” due to coming with the hardware)

Better laws would be:

• to mandate open source relaease at EOS
• automatically public domain at EOS
• require paid operating systems to supporr hardware from 15 years ago (as a consumer protection law, so that it only applies to paid OS’s (and also ones that require a license, even if it’s “free” due to coming with the hardware), so that foss projects arent hurt)

Mandatory open source public domain release at EOS.

At Win10 EOS, people would make Windows distros, and ReactOS would no longer have to be a clean room implementation.

Also this would be a success for Stop Killing Games.
