For me, it has been incredibly difficult to find a properly privacy oriented Linux distro that also has ease of use.

First of all, most distros already offer adequate privacy. It’ll always beat Windows or MacOS—that’s for sure.

Second, ease of use and privacy don’t go hand in hand. The more privacy you want the harder it gets to use. The reason I emphasised privacy is because it’s more anonymity at that point.

What is it you want? If it’s privacy you’re after you can’t go wrong with most distros and using FOSS. If it’s anonimity be prepared to make a ton of sacrifices. Have fun putting your laptop in a Faraday bag, routing all your traffic through Tor, visiting eepsites, disconnecting your webcam and microphone, only wiring money with Monero, and so forth.

My point is, there is no best of both worlds.

He eventually found the executable by Googling for it online and is now part of a botnet.

Windows is shitty—don’t get me wrong. But for all my coursework it’s pretty annoying to do on Linux. Especially Office, and yes I am well aware it’s a MS product and that Linux-support will likely never come. Though the limited online version of Office or LibreOffice don’t quite cut it for me. Besides, running it with Wine or in a VM is too much of a hassle.

So “Switch to Linux!” is not really a solution for some. Let’s hope that’ll change in the future.

With that said, fuck Microsoft! I use NixOS btw.

I bought a Ender-3 V2 Neo on Black Friday for €168. Has been a great buy and I have learnt a lot tweaking it. Maybe there are better printers out there I am unaware of, but as a starter I’d highly recommend it.

Not all AI is bad. In the healthcare sector it could improve decision-making, produce personalised treatment plans, and so forth.

Obviously, the healthcare professionals will have final say, but it’s a good tool to have. AI will not replace them. Though it will streamline cumbersome processes.

I am all for AI as long as it’s used in a non-dystopian manner.

I was only joking, though I guess Lemmys need the /s to understand.

Don’t have anything against systemd—as goes with anything—use whatever suits your needs.

More bloat.
