Quitting from sites you despise is a better option than hopping from frontend to frontend in my view.

I already have enough content to watch between Peertube and Odysee. Youtube is dead to me.

This seems more like a good reason to not use default options than a reason to not use Garuda. Many distros have worse defaults than this.

I use Simple Dialer myself. It’s available on F-Droid.

Age is only part of the equation. Older ones can be more secure but you have to go further back and think of more than just the hardware. The big thing is to try to get a laptop that is sold using a non stock BIOS or be comfortable doing the work yourself. Libreboot; Coreboot; or something like it. After that try to use as free as an OS as you can such as Trisquel; Guix; Hyperbola; etc. There are lots of stores that sell laptops that are more secure out of the gate:

Basically a computer is only as secure as you are willing to make it. You are limited by the hardware but you choose the hardware so you’re only really limited by yourself.

Anybody who supports Microsoft is literally supporting their own extortion.

Thanks for the link, I hadn’t heard of Unholy before. Trailer looks like i’ll enjoy parts of it, off to try the demo now.

I gave the A770 a try a few months ago and ended up returning it after a few days. I’d be open to trying it again down the road.

I can’t wait for the day when something like Godot is more popular. That being said i’ll take Unreal over Unity.

I think I bought it for $10 years ago and have played less than twenty minutes of it.

I would rather a ten hour game I love than a sixty hour game that I don’t. Length isn’t everything.

I game as my primary hobby and switched to Linux in 2015. Never going back. If I switch to anything it will be to BSD.

Anyone saying they care about privacy but their software is closed source is an idiot at best or a liar at worst. I have zero trust or faith in such a person.

I’m not sure what the issue is with ethics. The only thing keeping me from using AirVPN is they’re based in Italy which is a fourteen eyes country.

I would imagine the reason is much the opposite of why I sought out a instance like Burggit: I want as little censorship as possible while lemmy.ml seems to want a lot based on their rules list.

I use Abrowser which is a fork of Firefox that removes some sketchy features and has better default settings. Didn’t know that Mullvad had a browser. I’d at least consider it.
