Tried that, didn’t help on my system. I switched to the flatpak version just now but the integration the preinstalled version had (option in devices thing to run with VLC).

Tuxedo OS. Same idea as smth like mint or PopOs but (imo) done much better. It also has rolling release for some stuff (like the DE) and non-rolling for other stuff (not even sure what bc I don’t really look in detail). It also uses KDE plasma my favorite (and imo the best) DE. It’s got pretty good app availability in terms of official packages because it is based on Ubuntu LTS (now 24.04). There are a couple things that are vestigial on most computers bc it was made for tuxedo computers but these have no negative effect on other devices in my experience.

I think you missed the point of the entire post a little bit

As long as you don’t distribute it it should be fine legally (in the US) and is morally correct (imo) since it is your own copy of the book.

I remember when I had wifi issues it had put the wifi card on like a do-not-use list. Not sure why or if that’ll help but maybe try that list? No clue anymore what it was called, sorry.

I pretty much only use Lemmy (and loops but it’s not really finished yet) but I have mastodon too.

What do you mean? The post is about using Lemmy to view mastodon stuff so I don’t have to use anything else. It’s not just about using Lemmy, it’s about only using Lemmy.

Give alvr a try, but you’re probably best off just using windows for VR.

Mint chocolate chip, and being Texan blue bell is my drug of choice.

The Logitech x3d Xtreme or whatever the hell it’s called. it’s a $34 flight stick, best one you can get for cheap, and after having and abusing it for years it only had any issues after a rottweiler puppy chewed the cable. Would recommend.

Never had that issue on my current distro but I did on kde neon, what distro are you using?

Yeah I think PIA is a golden example here. They’ve got RAM-only servers so they have no data to turn over in the first place.

Maybe try suggesting Vivaldi? It’s not the best (and it is still chromium based) but it’s way better than chrome and has all the garbage that people talk about on opera. I use Vivaldi myself and I like it a lot.

Logitech’s apps still don’t work on my system, but I don’t mind most the time. Hopefully it’s fixed soon though bc it’s be nice to have those apps again.

No I’m relying on people to protect their own data, I’m saying that platforms should too. Edit: also most of the time they don’t have to turn over anything but do so willingly, they should say no unless presented with a valid warrant.

This kind of surveillance should be something every platform fights against. Remember that the government does not own you and they are only entitled to any of your data at all when necessary to uphold the law and under a warrant. Protect your right to privacy or they will use what you do I private to justify stripping you of all your other rights in the name of justice they will at that point no longer uphold.
