  • I don't know who this is, but he clearly made some people here upset. :D

    The whole post is about him not finding any sensible use for a 1 Gbit Internet connection for himself. He never ever mention any one else.

    I really don't understand how this can be offensive for anyone else. Why is he not allowed to have an option about himself?

    PS. I do believe that the title is somewhat click-bait though.

  • There's always Devuan if you want Debian before Debian moved to systemd.

  • And 100% of the parents needs to stop using big tech. They're parents and they can't do dumb shit and not expect their kids to do the same thing as them.

  • I can also recommend Linux Mint. It's a great general purpose option for both beginners and experienced users.

  • Helium should be fine. They're, to my understanding, a fork of ungoogled-chromium, and they seem to proxy all calls to Google for you. It shold be a safe enough web browser for 'regular' people who care about their privacy.

  • It does, and there's nothing you can do about it either, other than, obviously, switching to an alternative web browser.

  • I believe it's mainly going to affect the regular users who use regular Google Android, for the simple reason that people who understand this is either power users or developers. The developers is most likely going to a) quit it all together or b) move exclusively to proper alternatives like F-Droid.

    For the very reason that I, and power users, is not relying on any Google services, this is not really going to effect us at all.

  • It's refreshing to see people who can laugh at their own expense. The world need more people like you!

  • That's an old copypasta. It never happened. And the boy in the original story was from Venezuela, and it was his uncle who helped him. Not that it really matters.

    Edit: Spelling.

  • They're really working hard on ruining it for everyone, including themselves. Greed has never been profitable in the long run.

  • So this is not written in anger. It's written in the particular disappointment you feel when something you trusted changes the terms without asking.

    With all due respect, but how naive can a person be? Who have ever trusted LinkedIn for a single second?

  • It won't. Well. Perhaps some distros might see new users/customers when everyone's abandoning Ubuntu.
