You can show ads without tracking and keeping users their right to privacy, right? I think it’s different selling user data than having some ads on your website.

But you said

Can you provide evidence which back your claim’s?

And I’m not going to search for all those articles that were talking about bad practices of Brave Browser.

I rather think it’s bc most people didn’t do proper research, which is sadly not unusual.

If they don’t do proper research, they wouldn’t mind your comment.

But I found this article https://popzazzle.blogspot.com/2021/07/why-i-uninstalled-brave-browser.html where says:

[…] Since I believed I’d disabled all possible sources of activity bar the actual loading of DuckDuckGo (html-only version - which is a tiny load), I thought I’d have a look round for some insight. I’d disabled the telemetry, the updater, the spell-checker, the “security protection”… And yet there was still this big spike of traffic on the computer’s main network meter.

In truth I was probably going to uninstall anyway, but the unprompted activity was a final indication that Brave does not understand the meaning of privacy, or consent. […]

The part of “there was still this big spike of traffic on the computer’s main network meter” claims that Brave Browser is not that private. And you can get the same level of blocking with better alternatives than claiming Brave to be a private solution.

I’m not going to do the research for you, I already read enough to know what Brave is, and I assume that’s why you got that many downvotes on your main post here. If you want me to leave you in peace, don’t reply.

If you read others comments, they explain why Brave is not a privacy Browser. You just need to use the good and open source addons for the chromium based alternatives that provide exactly the same or even better than Brave. Brave lies pretty much.

Before Brave better use https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

I would say it’s almost the same, but you have less control of what your android is doing with the data it collects, I would go for https://e.foundation/e-os/ if you care about privacy. Instead, Google Drive, you will use Nextcloud.

That’s nice, for 0,50 monthly less you have more hard drive (14GB more) but you lose 2GB of RAM compared to Hetzner.

EDIT: For VPN over HTTP, you don’t need more than this.

hetzner.com is cheaper, I think.

There is a way, it’s called SSH over HTTP, I think there are many guides on the internet. I hope this works.

EDIT: I don’t know how to do that on Windows or if it’s possible but maybe with a virtual machine… sorry.

You can track this kind of stuff on Mastodon also, join into a security instance (like https://infosec.exchange/explore) or start following them from another instance.

Yeah, I heard Debian users says they will need to wait a full year, and it’s obvious I put 5 instead of a 6, was a typo… But thanks to let me know that Plasma 5 was released 10 years ago.

If you go to the post, on the comments, there is someone that is already telling you to run dnf list xz --installed. So you don’t need to run xz directly.

If I’m not wrong, Fedora as stable release too will ship Plasma 6 in next month, they’re doing tests now.

Because my first computers were shitty, I started with antix as main system, Ubuntu or others were too laggy for my systems.

No, it isn’t a problem of MS nor of Linux. It a problem for people who’ve to be productive on those solutions and that’s why Linux isn’t a good fit for them.

You can’t expect to waltz in some office and have people tolerate broken documents of some format and/or the subsequent productivity losses - it just takes you making a few slides for your boss while using LibreOffice and once he opens the document you’ve misaligned items, game over. :)

Lol, it’s related, MS breaks the compatibility with Linux on purpose, so why would Linux community care if Microsoft decides to not be able to run on a Linux? Because it’s clearly on purpose, just do your own research, as I did. Linux community can try to adapt to Microsoft document styles, but if you want to work with Microsoft Office tools, don’t expect having support to work with them on Linux… the reason is obvious, that would kill Microsoft, the same they do with the video game monopoly, trying to buy all the companies to keep the monopoly.

No, it doesn’t. nftables is the only sane and sensible thing that was built considering modern networking and scalability concerns not hacked and dragged along for decades.

Whatever, Linux firewall rocks.

Haha, that’s funny but as a real programmer working for a shitty company that forces me to work on a shitty Apple I can tell you I can’t just use tmux, I need web browser/s (Jira, Git site for collaborations with team, for reading documentation), MS teams, Keepass or similar, etc… But if they allowed me, I might try to just use Emacs as an OS itself, then I wouldn’t worry about Apple or Windows.

MS not being able to run on Linux is a problem with Microsoft, not Linux. Still you can do it paying to crossover, the owners of Wine, they do and offer it, just report them every time Microsoft tries to break the compatibility.

See? Just because it isn’t your perspective doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

That’s just what I tell you and what you are replying to. I know posts of people saying they prefer Linux, and they aren’t into tech or programming, just are used to it already. You got used to Windows because it’s the first OS you get when you buy a new laptop.

Before me using Linux 100%, sometimes I thought some issues I had on Linux was because of Linux, when I switched back to Windows, I realized I don’t only have the same issues but even more to fit the DE or tools, the system is heavier in many aspects. The system update both on Windows and Apple sucks… there are many reasons I dislike Windows and Apple. Now I like the Fedora stability and Arch Linux repo builds and deps. I can play the games I truly like and even much more than what I really want to play, so I see Windows or Mac a stupid option I can really not understand why people use them, and yes, this is 100% my personal own perspective.

Also, iptables rocks.

I have been working on Windows, macOS and Linux. And I never learned more than working with Linux, as I am a programmer, every debugging tool or programming tool (unless for apple) works perfectly and natively, as docker that runs natively without real emulators like WSL that gives you more issues with your contained apps and developments.

About DE, MacOS DE sucks, you can’t even grid Windows… Windows DE is much better but still, their shell sucks, terminals sucks, lack of customization of your windows (I’m using KDE I love it and is the best for programming as I have much more control of each windows like pin above others windows and simple features like those that makes KDE perfectly for work, Plasma 6 even faster, less resources…).

What you said isn’t the truth, is just your own and personal perspective. Other people perspectives: https://duncanlock.net/blog/2022/04/06/using-windows-after-15-years-on-linux/

Just crack it https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts don’t pay any more money to Microsoft please…

On Linux, you install things from a repository, which is harder to install or execute a malicious binary. Reducing the risk of running binaries from unknown sources from internet, the risks are minimum if you keep your system always up to date, and on Linux is easier than on Windows, a single command to update each and any component on your system.
