This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.

In my opinion, technology keeps improving, however that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s getting better. I think innovation in technology peaked from the 2000s to the early 2010s, after this period however, it has continually become more and more “enshitified,” meaning that features no one wanted suddenly being added. For example, “ai coffee maker” (this is real), like who asked for this? Not to mention, not only is everything more bloated, but levels of privacy have decreased significantly; every aspect of your digital life is capitalized on for advertising. The early 2010s were simpler times.

Also, Ladybird is looking very promising, so in a few years we should have a true fourth browser engine.

I wouldn’t say better, it is all based on preference. And it was already mentioned.

Amazing design. It also appears to be on the AUR as well if anyone is interested: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mousam

So you think it is from the manufacturer?

While this is true, Discord has a massive user base, so it’s somewhat a privacy win for the common person

Yes I am the next Picasso!

Seems like Tor snowflake is a proxy that makes your internet traffic appear as a video call. Its purpose is to circumvent censorship, but it may get around firewalls as well. I have no experience bypassing firewalls using snowflake, but it may be a viable option (someone correct me if I’m wrong) https://snowflake.torproject.org/

I’ve checked it out, and it looks really good, sort of like arc browser. It’s very stylish, and since it’s Firefox-based, supports ublock origin. It’s obviously not finished yet though, so I’ll stay on Floorp until it reaches beta or stable. I’m totally switching once it gets there

Better granpheneos I guess?

Chromium is technically open source, but yeah, screw Google chrome

Why do people run windows servers when Linux exists, it’s literally a no brainer.

Open source will always be the best option, especially with a government supporting it! Imagine what government funding could do to accelerate improvements to Linux

Any distro should work just fine, so the typical three: Debian, Fedora, Arch, or something else. Gnome 46 supposedly added support for Microsoft accounts as well as onedrive in the Nautilus file manager, so you should be able to “store all of your data.”

It’s really good, the only thing I’d complain about is that sometimes it takes up large amounts of space. Aside from that it is not bad in the least

It’s possible you may be specifying the wrong device? Try iwctl, and then “device list” to see other options. I always seem to have two or three, with only one working. More info here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#iwctl

Does internet work? You can check by running “ping archlinux.org” in a terminal, (Ctrl C to stop it). If you are connected to internet you could search for packages using the “pacman -Ss <e. g. chromium>”, and or install by using “sudo pacman -S <name>”

All those “hackers” in vpn commercials are in reality your isp.
