They're all not good and over-priced aren't they? Does anyone really have a favourite?

Since you asked, I thought the article seemed like a bit of a gossipy tangent of the more serious story of the day, and voted against it, it's just a vote, not a monarchist, the opposite, just got fed up with too much monarchy for one day.

God I can’t stand Veritasium. Even the name is so fucking pretentious. Dude is in deep love with himself, I can’t watch it. There’s just something about narcissists, I get an allergic reaction listening to them.

Just call him Dirk instead, he makes good videos.

I've been using FreeTube for years, it does break from time to time but never for very long, and it's a much nicer experience all round.

Paying for services isn't philosophically incompatible with FOSS, that's how companies like RedHat broke through back in the day, but paying for "quick and high-quality security updates" strikes me as alarming. Am I to take from that that they're holding back high-quality security updates from some users? Unless maybe we're talking about extended support for EoL software.

Any particular reason for moving from Mullvad?

Repeat something enough and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. First it was "Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable", now it's "Nigel Farage is on course to be the next Prime Minister". Same thing.

It would need someone to set it up, but I have my non-techy family members on Silverblue and it suits the purpose as outlined. Also not sure why all the fear-mongering about btrfs, I would say it's ready and suitable for mainstream use now, or you don't have to use it.

That's a really misleading headline; a Mastodon instance has done this, Mastodon as a whole can't do this because it's free software, it can be used for any purpose.

Just upgraded. I think I must have been the only person in the world to like the old Fedora installation UI but everyone complained about it so it must be good news that it's gone, as long as I don't hate the new one.

Who is they?

Apart from the CEO, I've been a bit concerned with the number of outages recently with quite poor and inconsistent communication or updates - not especially long outages but made much more stressful. There's something really off about the way they communicate things I've found. So that combined with the idiot CEO has made me start the process of moving away from Proton, I don't trust them any more.

I think the best strategy is to spread thinly, don't become reliant on any one provider.
