Tor project has many retorts but imo, the easiest way to improve it is just use it, even without donating. If literally everyone used it at all costs, websites would be forced to support traffic from it and blacklisting relays would kill the whole internet, e.g. $$$$. Without these issues, it would probably be much easier to host a relay, or even embed relay hosting in the browser by default. ISPs would be forced to open incoming ports, and firewalls would include it. Then it wouldn’t be slow or limited.

Don’t forget to donate to Tor Project and/or a relay operator if you use it, even $1 covers like several TB of traffic.

We did the year of Linux. Let’s make this the year of Tor.

I wonder if he thinks we’re dumb or just doesn’t care. They’d have been laid off either way. “Return to work”, “Stack ranking”, “AI refusal”, whatever you say bro.

Tor is more established than I2P but they’re both good, using either is a dramatic improvement in your privacy.

We should vote and learn how to shoot. Sign petitions and learn how to use privacy tools.

When used with a bridge/Snowflake, Tor can bypass government censorship. It works in China for example.

Educate friends and family on government surveillance, use privacy tools like Signal, VPN, Tor, etc. Help them set it up. You can do everyday actions to push back far more useful than signing a petition.

Stablecoins are the answer here. Theoretically though if cryptocurrencies were very widely used they’d be more stable, like actual currencies (probably $100T market cap of actual use, not just investments, so could be decades or never).

Note stablecoins have “institutional/existential” risk. Dai is decentralized but as seen with Terra/Luna they can be attacked in many ways.

Generally… Just keep a small balance in crypto, whatever you plan to spend in the next few months.

Sure, let’s not give them a choice though. Aggressive wealth tax caps at $100M, you get a park plaque and sainthood for each billion we redistribute to UBI.

You got me there, firefox is the only snap I really use. Probably can be removed and replaced with apt version but honestly I don’t care much. I tend to clean reinstall frequently and I leave as much in the default setup as I can.

If it works, it works. But it does cause me to have another step to update everything, which is slightly annoying. And yes I don’t like Canonical’s insistence on snaps. I just try to avoid them really.

Ads, certainly never seen them.

“he’s hot” there ya go

Unpopular opinion: I love Ubuntu. No, I don’t use snaps at all. I have an Nvidia GPU and it’s literally the only OS working out of the box. Yes I tried Debian, I’m too busy to fiddle with drivers. No, I can’t get rid of the GPU, I depend on it for critical workflows. I love the minimalism of Gnome. Never liked KDE/Cinnamon honestly, they’re too busy for my tastes. For 15 years I’ve tried other distros and I’m always back on Ubuntu. I’ll ride the purple penguin to my grave.

Downvotes only please.

“But think of the children!” 😂

This kind of mature and genuine response is only seen here on Lemmy lol. Anyways I do agree, our celebrities matter and culture is important.

I bow at the girth of your penis, superior-san.

Again just explaining it and not disagreeing. I actually literally asked ChatGPT to come up with a prompt to generate your reply, here is the prompt:

Write a reply that is mildly sarcastic but still informative, starting with “Since it’s beyond you, I’ll take the time to explain.” The reply should explain that different people have different values, describe how some people devote energy to following the intersection of culture and politics, others to online communities, and some to neither. End with a slightly condescending line implying the explanation should now be within their understanding.

Just here to explain the downvotes: “ChatGPT, come up with a response to someone who dislikes celebrities, use a touch of sarcasm and make the tone slightly condescending in a plausibly deniable way. Make it generic enough it could apply to almost any hobby, in order to trivialize their point”.

It reminds me of a time where things were better. They focused less on shiny, soulless graphics and more on the heart of the game. Our minds filled in more details and it was fine. Games today are much more likely to have glittery graphics and be not fun or even predatory. Then you have indie games, they might not be technically perfect but they’re much more likely to have that heart.

It has some real “Ukraine should just stop fighting a losing war” vibes. I wonder how much Alphabet paid them for that article. Probably not much.

It’s not just nostalgia. Things were less enshittified in that era. The writing, story telling, world building, and creative direction were far superior and games were weirder. That’s why I like the style anyways

Don’t forget, Reddit is legally allowed to train on your content, but not the other way around. It’s consistent with US law, where corporate tax is half of income tax.
