It’s funny, this is how you see how politicians act when they are personally involved.

Cookies and banners annoys the shit out of them, so they actually do something.

They don’t care about the internet.

Okay, does it kick the llama’s ass ?

Those companies are literally only the man in the middle, in every sense

Like stardust

Probably codeberg, or gitea instance somewhere

Not illegal, rather not free. There is an ongoing effort to switch from GPL licencing to more restrictive licensing, allowing corpos to close the source of their distribution. Redhat-IBM is at work. All this camouflaged behind good intentions like rewriting GNU user land and libs in Rust because memory safety.

Time for a new 1.2Gb Java TikTok app

And subscriptions

And forced billing

And ORA notification messages

Of course Whois domain details can be unmasked, by law enforcement, CERTs.

Thank you for awakening a forgotten trauma.

Then, Nvidia drivers lags behind new releases on this distribution. It’s not helping, I went from tumbleweed to mint because of that 🥲

It that the thing trump munsk government cost cutting has stopped funding ?

Yes they were mostly xmr miners, or reverse shell (pretty much like all those windows RAT)

Yes, maybe. Or certainly sticking to YT where the money is, and that’s a bit sad.

The only way it will go indeed

Good. Good. If enough countries retire we may have a chance to win.

In the long term it’s pretty much the end. Not only because of the move, because many services rely on apps that need certification and trust.

Then Mint is Ubuntu refined for technophobe or people too busy to mess with their OS, plus perfect ability to reuse all Ubuntu targeted software and skills.

Let’s be clear : how YouTubers will survive without ads money on another platform ?

I hope it last, web enshitification may bring us back to the 2000s where that one site requires internet explorer, this one won’t allow DRM content on non windows platforms…

It’s just around the corner.

Luckily at work we are allowed to install a dual boot, or even single boot with Linux. The one obligation is to run the corporate antivirus and vpn client (and yes we had malware detections of Linux binaries).

Dual booting for the last 6 months, now 100% on Linux (Mint). Can’t say I miss anything from windows, maybe ms office’s polished apps but I can’t care less. Nowadays everything runs in the browser, it has become « the OS ». And almost every browser is a chromium variant that’s it.
