This is true for nearly every (white) country.

Yeah, we Germans don’t realize yet how close we are again. It sure feels like the last days of the Weimar republic sometimes. Mostly because our “normal” politicians fail horribly.

Apple is just as bad in a different way. There is no perfect solution. People need to understand what they do, to do it well. That doesn’t mean that the average Joe needs to learn C. He can continue to write down the process on some sticky notes but it would help if he does look beyond the horizon e g. understand what the buttons he clicks all day actually do.

That’s why the developed world is taking about universal basic income and not minimum wage. Guess the US will get there at some point too. If they stop falling back into the dark ages at some point.

To me the whole purpose of that game is too get your money. There is either no intention to every finishing that game or the founder is so into good own bubble that he doesn’t realize that this week never be finished.

Uninstall windows. Done.

No that’s a Google search. Which mainly displays external name cases which expose name over usb/thunderbolt. Which in case of usb4 is exactly the same way an internal nvme works, via pcie.

Arch on everything with a screen. NixOS on everything without.

You could run a VM and plan to setup one service on it as an exercise. NixOS wiki is pretty ok in general, but it is a useful skill to read the code of the modules you use. Flakes are poorly documented and also controversial. So I wouldn’t hop on that yet.

Wegen do they shut down windows 11?

Not only that. Remember when Sony said that you don’t own the PS4 you bought for several hundred bucks but just purchased the right to use it as intended so you’re not allowed to tinker with it and for example install another operating system or figure out how their security works.

That’s what is meant by buying is not owning anymore.

I could go on about cars with subscriptions for heated seats that are already installed but not turned on etc.

The content I want to have will never be on a meta server. And even if, I will not federate with them and not use them.

For the exact same reasons I also don’t use Facebook.

Not using a password manager (be it digital or simply a paper notebook) is just asking for a breach or getting hacked.

No one can remember the amount and complexity of passwords that are needed to live a secure digital live.

Every service/account you register for years now and couldn’t live without it. I’ve set up a paper notebook for my mother and that works too.

But reusing passwords or using too short or insecure passwords is the number one reason why people get hacked or stuff gets leaked and stolen.

As a side note: a secure password doesn’t have to include weird characters. Just make it long. Everything with 32 letters and numbers or longer will be super secure for a while. And because your password manager takes of it, you don’t even notice.

For music from artists that don't exist anymore I mostly use ddl. If the artist is still there and offers a decent way of giving them money, I usually do that.

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. (restoreprivacy.com)

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”...

I can’t reproduce any of the issues you’re mentioning. Signal is the only messenger that consistently “just works” over the last few years.
