So what is your preferred browser?

If I use YouTube on mobile, I access by opening a new tab in Brave.

I deleted the app well over a year ago.

I am never force fed anything by Shorts.

I upgraded to v102 and have had zero issues.

In fact, it runs perfectly on my Kubuntu machine.

I use Thunderbird exclusively for personal accounts and Outlook for my employer.

Very excited to see Thunderbird calendar being modernized since I feel like it’s always been a step behind Outlook’s.

Do you think you’ll eventually return to the Midwest because of the NE coldness?

Scrubbing on Search is a good first step towards reclaiming some modicum of privacy, but what about Bing, DDG, Ecosia, Metager, Swisscows, Yandex, Baidu, Kagi, You, Brave, etc?

Guess you’re still just shit out of luck if someone really wants to find you, and knows how.

Also, scrub as much as you want, but Google will still store your info forever and it will be monetized.

I am with you.

How is it that there are countless people repeating how difficult it is to maintain Linux?

It runs out of the box for most hardware flawlessly.

Are you okay with Google’s telemetry on that Chromebook?

You trust Google more than Apple to not misuse your data?

I’ve been very happy with Kubuntu KDE Plasma.

Rock solid. Fast.

How long do you think it will take for you to bounce back?

If some people want to pay for books (and they do) then they will. If they don't want to pay (and some don't) then they won't. My vote is for freeing as much information as possible so people can have options at their fingertips without draining their bank accounts.
