Mass transit makes sense in cities, even between surrounding towns. But as soon as you get more rural public transit is so out of scope. It's always easy to see the people who spent their whole life in urbanized areas by how unrealistic they talk about this subject.

Except that Mullvad is hostile to the torrent infrastructure since there is no port forwarding. No thanks!

Curious, why is Stremio "sketchy af?"

Front trunks save lives in collisions though. I'd 100% rather be in a vehicle with a hood between me and another car, and I say this as an avid kei-truck fan.

Its not just news, its the little things. Local things. Kids hitting new milestones in learning. Beauty in nature, and in the hands of artists all around us. Different wondrous things being researched that are going to help the human race in the future. There is so much wonder and excitement in this life just waiting to be experienced, but most of these things are not easily monetized when reported.

Not sure I understand how you are reading the article. That's like saying having a steak knife in your home is a factor in proving elements of a crime. Tools are completely neutral parties that are unrelated to prosecution, and encryption should be no different.

Doing crime in the privacy of my own home allows me to get away with it and commit more crime, doesn't mean we should have transparent walls that everyone can watch what you do through.

You made me chuckle! I was raised on open source by a software engineer. I was using gimp on Ubuntu when I was 7 or 8 years old. I understand your sentiment completely, but you need to understand that time is money, and if something like layer blending takes even a few more clicks in gimp than photoshop, it is not ready to compete. Of course, you can think whatever you want about software you don't rely on for a living. The rest of the world will smile and move on with reality.

This is definitely the take of someone who doesn't need the full capabilities of such tools to make a living.

I hate these misleading headlines. It is just so justifying to the magats when articles like this are touted against them. They do plenty of clearly illegal shit, lets stick the headlines like this on those other cases.

flatpak only on an immutable distro with podman containers is great for the dev work I do. I get all the benefits of the AUR, .deb, and zypper while keeing my machine rock solid.

Ok dude, you should have looked at the minimum requirements for a linux install before buying that thin client. I checked debian and fedora and both had minimun requirements exceeding 8gb for graphical environments. Read the manual, stop bashing a tool you arent using right. Flatpak works great for almost every use case, especially if you learn how to tweak the sandbox.
