I’m a pretty tall guy, my hands are big

Thank god! Touch screens on the stuff in cars are a huge pain in the ass if you have hands as big as mine and the icons are all tiny

Yeah, AI is really just a surveillance tool than anything else.

When AI “creates” something, it’s just pulling up things related to words you typed in and making an amalgamation of what you typed in out of what it has.

The real purpose is for corporations and governments to look through people’s devices and online storage at super speed.

this is why you all need to be using end-to-end encrypted storage for everything and VPNs with perfect forward secrecy

do your own research into the history of each provider of those things before you buy it

they do. They also accept bitcoin

The first was ivpn but their server speeds were trash.

Their server speeds are great now. I tried them. They just have a very small number of servers compared to those other three

those things are very poorly made and all the most important parts are made of cheap plastic that an average person can literally rip off with his or her bare hands

obviously the shitty VPNs like NordSurshark, TorGuard, Tunnelbear, cyberghost and PrivateInternetExpress suck…pretty much every VPN that’s part of some giant conglomerate sucks ass in terms of privacy and security

But then there’s iVPN, Mullvad and ProtonVPN and even Adguard VPN which do very little to no advertising at all and allow their products to speak for themselves. I mean…Kitboga and RionaPoison are sponsored by Proton, but Proton is a good company that takes their security and the security of their swiss-law-abiding users very seriously.

Don’t be a scumbag and Proton won’t snitch on you.

Forums still exist, there only for extremely niche things though…Like high powered flashlights

out of spite I don’t use my phone to “play” on.

A lot of shit makes a new, random MAC address for every new connection to an access point now

yep, never allow them to connect to the internet

libretube is good too, many instances of indivious still work

many instances of piped and invidious still work though

what are you talking about? Haven’t you seen people with “you really shouldn’t ever smile, it’s creepy” faces? I have one of those faces.

of course

that guy in that picture looks like the “unwanted house guest” from those memes from 10 years ago

that doesn’t give MS a pass.

I never said otherwise. Windows without any de-bloating sucks, everyone knows that. Windows-techs all over the world are trying to get microsoft to stop with all the bullshit that everyone hates, but they won’t. So for those of us who love linux, but need to keep using windows, it’s good to have the knowledge of how to work with windows.

why is everyone banning everything?

Stop it! Let people have fun on the internet!

all of these tools can be used to completely disable recall.

software security, its a big problem only getting worse for every OS atm.

the differences on windows is that there’s several antivirus programs that work well. Most are garbage, but there’s several that are pretty good, and a small number of things you can add on to those setups that are awesome
