Even ignoring the surveillance aspect of ads, which I could go on a massive rant about, Google and other ad platforms themselves doesn’t seem to care about harming people with malvertising and scam ads. Why should I care about their revenue?
Are adblockers even illegal? I didn’t think it was.
I know that some manufacturers ship QubesOS, those are intended for people with high threat models afaik.
Time to poison their data, I guess.
Neat, thanks! Makes me even more grateful that I decided to switch.
Is GrapheneOS affected?
Wayland have worked flawlessly for me, but I do understand that I have a very simple use case, so ymmv.
Even if they do remove them from the official stores, you can always go straight to the source and sideload it.
I found that, at the cost of a few months of absolute suffering, using Gentoo as my first distro fasttracked my Linux learning.
I find ZFS rollbacks to be easier but setting up ZFS can be a pain (other than in Gentoo and NixOS from my experience), so take your pick
As someone who’ve tried Gentoo on systemd and OpenRC, as well as Void with runit, I don’t see any reason to use OpenRC over systemd. I never noticed any performance difference, and it has far less features. As for runit, if half the boot time for half the features is what you need, then go for it.
I feel like common knowledge of all the shit big tech companies have pulled throughout their history is sufficient justification for giving massive fines.
Wish GDPR had the same kind of teeth.
Ah, a fellow Gentoo user, I see.
I use ZFS, not BTRFS, but both have snapshots, and if you’re someone who likes to tinker with their system like me, it lets you do so without worrying that it will break.
Imagine banning books, at all. Sure doesn’t sound horrificly authoritarian to me /s
This is free and pretty effective advertising for Telegram, really.
As it very well should be. Fuck Google.
Copilot doesn’t work on VSCodium from my experience.
Wait, how does Google make money off of paywalled contents?
