Hell yeah. I always hated Telegram, because of its countless false promises, misleading claims, bad encryption (which isn't even enabled by default) and shady background.

Well, you can change your IP as often as you want. You can go to a completely different ISP in a different country in a matter of seconds.
So if you are using one tool to access YouTube while being logged into Google on your browser, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the VPN?
Yeah, I didn't assume anyone in this community would log in to YouTube, but maybe I'm wrong
There are many open WriteFreely instances: https://writefreely.org/instances
Write.as is kinda the flagship instance
I used to prefer Plume because it's written in Rust, but, well, it seems like it isn't maintained right now, so WriteFreely is currently the better option
Rant about systemd
Oh hell no why the actual fuck does systemd attempt to replace every single component of the Linux stack? We don't need more of this monolithic bullshit. What's next, replace the Linux kernel with systemd? Fucking hell. And why the hell did they give it such a stupid name??? run0? The only way this makes sense, is because 0 people should actually run this on their god damn system. I'm just waiting for applications to start breaking because some stupid systemd dependency, which itself depends on 15 gigabytes of other systemd bloat isn't installed.
Sorry for the rant
I'll definitely stay on Gentoo with doas and OpenRC
I like this, but it's mostly command-line and server related. I don't think this would teach someone as much about running desktop Linux. This seems more like something one would use if they need Linux for their job.
I don't think there's one single effective guide that teaches you everything. I don't even think you need to learn everything right from the beginning. I just watched a bunch of DistroTube, The Linux Experiment, LearnLinuxTV and Mental Outlaw videos, and grew my skills over time. And the best way to learn it is just to install and start using it IMO. If you need help with something, search for a solution on the web, or ask in a Lemmy community, forum or chat room. I also recommend taking some notes about what you learned, so that you can reference it later. Any note-taking app will do it, but I specifically like Obsidian for this. Also consider saving guides/threads/videos that you found useful, if you might need them again at some point.
I found one on APKMirror https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/fing-limited/fing-network-tools/fing-network-tools-10-3-0-release/
Personally I run everything behind a VPN. Browsing the web without one kinda feels like a bad idea, like why should I expose my approximate home location to every website I go to and every server I connect to? Why should I let my ISP see which websites I'm visiting? And why should I trust my government to have access to all of that data?
It does, but the nice thing about UAD is that it comes with lists of bloatware apps for different phone manufacturers, and you can simply uninstall anything from that list without having to worry about breaking something.
