Big corp facts.

Mullvad, (the vpn, I have not tried the browser) uses a single account number as both name and password, no emails. It allows for multiple anonymous payment methods and it’s open source.

Sliiiiightly more trustworthy than Google imo.

We’re that one cousin no one talks about.

Gives a whole new meaning to “hide yo kids”.

I ran DVI for quite a while until my friend’s BenQ was weirdly green over HDMI and no amount of monitor menu would fix it. So we traded cords and I never went back to DVI. I ran DisplayPort for a while when I got my 2080ti, but for some reason the proprietary Nvidia drivers (I think around v540) on Linux would cause weird diagonal lines across my monitor while on certain colors/windows.

However, the previous version drivers didn’t do this, so I downgraded the driver on Pop!_OS which was easy because it keeps both the newest and previous drivers on hand. I distrohopped to a distro that didn’t have an easy way to rollback drivers, so my friend suggested HDMI and it worked.

I do miss my HDMI to DVI though. I was weirdly attached to that cord, but it’d probably just sit in my big box of computer parts that I may need… someday. I still have my 10+ VGA cords though!

This is less of a Linux problem and more of a kernel access problem. Microsoft hinted at shutting down kernel access, but I’ve learned not to hold my breath about anything Microsoft says. Personally, I made the sacrifice. I have plenty of other games I like to play that don’t have kernel-level anticheat.

Why did I start reading this to the tune of YMCA?

Oh strange. I’ll have to check my account. There may be some verification steps I missed, because I know you have to do something to confirm that your edits are trustworthy.

Meant to reply earlier, sorry. I assume that it waits for several inputs to verify. I have completed some streets in my area and there’s no changes as of yet. I think its more of a hobby thing. I like going around, getting out of the house and getting some fresh air while having a goal. Things like Pokemon Go just didn’t do it for me. I can easily see my tiny town not having much in the way of public infrastructure data, tbh.

I do understand where you’re coming from. If its just not your cup of tea, it does seem silly.

If you want to go even further, you can grab StreetComplete and have fun wandering your neighborhood while contributing to OpenStreetMap by answering questions for things like business hours, road widths, road materials, etc. Unfortunately, it seems to be android only at the moment and I’m not sure if there’s an iOS alternative.

My neighbor has an indoor cat that spends all day getting into the highest spots he can find. This is his hobby. I’ve watched him get down from on top of the high-hung cupboards and the way he did it… it was like the whole apartment was his planet fitness. They all called him fat, because at first glance, sure you could say that.

He got down to come see me when I first visited and I was 100% sure that I never wanted to mess with this cat. It was like patting a fuzzy wall. He is not fat. Bro is built like a tank. He’s literally V shaped. He’s survived years with three pitbull dogs that like to chase him and try to use him as a toy. Out of all the animals there, that is the scariest one. That’s what happens when your cat uses ALL the protein in that food for gainz.

I pointed this out to one of the neighbors and the look on their faces as they realized I was right.

As someone just barely scraping by month to month, I needed something free and Tuta was the answer. 1gb is not bad at all, and a good choice for someone starting their degoogle journey.
