To add to this, you should also remember that malicious hackers will always exist, and since most surveillance systems are made by the government, cyber security isn’t their strong suit.

I feel like most if not pretty much all of the value of Twitter was the name itself, and the recognition it had.

Oh, ok, thanks for the correction.

Don’t they have that thing where you can turn your account into a self hosted website? Maybe decentralized wasn’t the best word, I mean users don’t have to rely on the website staying up / moderators not going mad or stuff like that.

literally joined like an hour ago :-/

Just joined, can someone explain?

I thought of getting a laptop from tuxedocomputers, the original reason I got a mac was I was fed up with windows, my last laptop was toast, and needed something asap, that i didn’t need a time investment to use since uni courses were starting soon. Learning there’s a company that makes fair priced, built for linux machines with their own distro, that now seems like the perfect device for me.

The one good thing about macs is they don’t loose that much value, so I can resell it and buy something other than a mac

Never regretted a purchase more than my macbook after visiting their subreddits.
