I don’t want to have to use their stupid little bloated software just to send and read E-mails in a client of my choosing.

let me guess, you are active on r/movingtonorthkorea on reddit?

Cringe.

Please stop mocking his death, he was an idiot but didn’t deserve to die.

I am not voting for that party after all, and choosing the best software for privacy is worth giving a few dollars to a fascist IMO. Yes, I checked that parties policies, and I disagree with (nearly) all their social policies (Racism AND Secularism!? Gross!), so don’t accuse me of sympathizing with them.

I am only giving them ~$5 a month, and I know every dollar counts, but a few 100k donations won’t cause the rise of fascism, it will be poor societal conditions and charismatic leaders telling the populace that those issues are caused by minorities.

Comaps is what I use because it is free, Osmand+ is what you should use if you are willing to pay a bit, but don’t use Organic Maps.

Considering what my ISP is I think I’d trust any vpn with a FOSS client over them…

IVPN is smaller than mullvad so mullvad has more support in the form of more 3rd party packages. With the fascism thing I feel like just because the owner is problematic doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use the service, otherwise by far the majority of large and medium sized services would be unusable.

I mean, windscribe made that one ad w/ hitler in it…

I use mailbox.org because both proton and tuta do not support IMAP, which is generally needed to use a 3rd party client. Mailbox.org is also pretty cheap and is pretty private as far as the non-E2EE providers go. And in terms of E2EE it is going to be used so rarely that is basically doesn’t matter, the type of person that would use tuta/proton would probably be willing to setup PGP with you, and E-mail isn’t a secure communications platform anyways, so you might as well just use Signal, XMPP, briar, etc…

Prism Launcher is what I use, but also install the No Telemetry Fabric mod to reduce/disable telemetry in game (severs can still track you though)

Even worse, he has ties to the Dark Enlightenment.

Same. Capitalism will kill us all if we don’t do something, that’s why I’m a social distributist.

The biggest issue for me is its ties to the Dark Enlightenment movement, which is much more scary than any -phobia or -ism.

Snaps ruined Ubuntu.

Yes. Mostly people who are too lazy to install Arch and also want a preset hyprland config provided by the distro (instead of just taking one from github)

The thing is USB sticks are much more unstable than an nvme or something, so you’re more likely to lose your data. They can also be stolen way easier than an nvme or hard drive, but if you encrypt it w/ a strong password that shouldn’t be an issue.

Well maintaining a KISS repo of 100+ packages is something I once did to myself, so it is possible.

The only justifications for using flatpak are having a musl system or if the software has way too many dependencies. Use your package manager when possible, otherwise use an appimage, or find a way to get the .deb or .rpm working on your distro.
