  • To be fair, I didn’t know the reason - I didn’t read any further than skimming the gist of the text. All I knew was 1. My access is being blocked 2. They are incorrectly assuming I’m from some other site 3. There’s some drama between the two. And finally 4. I’m closing this tab. Those were my thoughts. It took mere seconds for me to lose interest in this distro forever. And it actually sounds cool, as an M1 Macbook owner.

    If it is as you say then yeah, that’s not just petty - but my point still stands, this is a fucking stupid way or going about this.







  • The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.

    Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I’ve tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It’s sad, but it’s how it is.

    I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.
