Yes! I am becoming more careful. I am definitely getting deeper in my knowledge of programs and linux. The stuff to learn is immense. But, it makes my life so much better.

I may or may not have a OneDrive account that I was paying 2 bucks for but cancelled when it charged full price. I may actually have a lot of the important stuff on there!

Alas, none of the newer stuff like my upated password manager key and anything else after I ended my brief return to Windows.

Yeah, cloud storage is not the monster after all.

Vote with action. Capitalism is the shit we are in, but everyone acts as if we are in a death march.

Maybe we are? Maybe nothing matters?

Or it does matter, and we need to be smarter about how we make changes in the world besides urging people to use technology that does not match half of what they are used to.

There is a concept called nudge that can work here. It is easier to change behavior by making the "right thing" the default. Make it easy for people to switch off the big corporate tech. Yelling never did anything.

In the meantime, yes, vote with your dollars. Don't give money to the things you hate.

This impotent cynism changes nothing.

Use the technology you feel safe with, or try try to build if it does not exist.

The echo chamber is making everyone deaf.

Hell yes! Feeling futuristic.

Are they related to PPAs in any way? It seems like anything Canonical does to improve package management ends up sucking.

I am totally ignorant, do flatpaks use a lot more processing?

I agree that stability is important, perhaps paramount, in a computing system. Still, some software like Cura, improve with every release, and it is worth upgrading for every new feature.

Anyways, I have never been concerned with space. On the whole programs don't take up that much space compared to everything else I would put on my system like games. Also, I am the kind of person who wants all the software they would ever use installed on their system. I want my computer to be useful even when the internet goes out.

No idea, I am not part of any of that. Seems like that has always been a good decision.

Hell yes, I love the enthusiasm! I just got a domain, which is giving me 3 months of email, so that is great. I feel like Tutanota is the most honest email service when it comes to advertising privacy, and they do some stuff that Proton definitely does not, like make recovery impossible without a key, and use no other method.

My next step is to get a VPS, and Hetzner is the name I have seen pop up the most. I will use that.

Thank you!

Yeah, I think getting my own domain is the first step I have never taken. Closest thing to web development I have done is a Neocities I have not messed with since getting an account.

Gaslighting. The internets favorite buzzworx that exactly describes this behavior.

You cannot win an argument with liars or the ignorant.
