The only gold standard here, is this article being the gold standard for hand-wavy “truths”.

Such a load of BS. Mullvad is the only one so far that has not squealed.

Who do you think is lobying for this? We dont have companies in the EU that would benefit from it.

Reminder, @chaoticnumber, revisit this comment in a year.

I would rather jump ass first into a cactus plantation, than give these fucks my data.

Call your MEP!

Hey, I wanna be right, you know? :D

I give them a year before they piss off the dev community.

I would of went Alpine, but debian is a solid choice as well.

To add to the arch management, after a while you learn the golden rule - set it and don’t fiddle with it too much. Nowadays there is very little maintenance to it. I run an update followed by shutdown. Once every 2-3 months there is some issue, that takes a forum search to fix and once a year it breaks to the level where I need about half an hour to an hour to fix it.

I disagree. You are normal if you have social media and not if you don’t?

Dunno man, if people need IG to interact with you and you are not comfortable with it, maybe they are not your people, you know?

Why should one go into uncomfortable territory for others, people should interact from positions of comfort, otherwise its a stretch for one side and just a bad time all round.

One thing is for sure @ElectricWaterfall@lemmy.zip , you will have a harder time, make less connections, but I’m pretty sure the ones you will make, will be solid.

One word of advice as a fellow non-socialmedia-person. If you want to meet new people, make sure you are in the same place at a certain time on certain days. That way people know where you might be during certain hours and that is also a way to make connections. Just be sure you like said place.

Mullvad dns.

Its all fun and games until the power bill arrives. Performance per watt is important, please look at that first. Don’t be me.

Foss or gtfo. Im not letting a black box see my files. I dont care what you claim, I have been burned before.
