Canonical and the others don’t make money from individual users. They get money from companies so there isn’t really any incentive to make tv ads. What would be more likely would be hardware manufacturers like tuxedo to do this. I know tuxedo does magazine ads but not sure if they have the budget for tv.

I would recommend looking at this site. My personal recommendation would be simplex chat. It’s decentralized, doesn’t require a phone number and supports forward secrecy.

Ublock is also open source. So you also can see what it’s doing. So yes, you can say the same thing about ublock

Linux admin with 20 years experience, looking for "beginner" distro [Solved, the real beginner distro was the Debian I've used along the way]

I’m over tinkering with my OS. So I’m looking for a distro that “just works” out of the box for my laptop. Also I want to test an “easy” distro I can install for my grandpa....

Snap does theoretically support other stores, but the code for the canonical store is proprietary so you’d have to reverse engineer a snap store and hope that canonical doesn’t break it with an update. Also apart from Ubuntu nobody uses snaps so why would anyone make a snap store? Btw they have improved snaps with faster start times and such, so they aren’t that much slower than packages or flatpak.

Windows -> Ubuntu -> Mint -> Fedora -> Pop -> Manjaro -> Garuda -> Debian -> Zorin -> Endeavor -> feren -> opensuse tumbleweed -> opensuse leap -> KDE neon -> blendOS -> MX -> Debian + peppermint (on old laptop) -> Mint cinnamon + Mint XFCE -> Fedora atomic -> Fedora

Additionally: rasbian on pi, alpine for VM, puppy for usb, steamos on steam deck

I have used a lot of different distros and I never had dependency problems whether on Linux mint, Debian, open suse or fedora. And yes, this can be a problem, especially on distros like Manjaro, but you still can use flatpaks/appimages/snaps and don’t deal with dependencies at all. NixOS and all rolling release distros can be great but they are not meant for people who are not ready to troubleshoot their system at any time. If you stick with a more stable distro like Debian you will most likely get a more reliable system then with windows.

I think it heavily depends on where you live. In a country like china you just need to have the wrong belief and your existence itself becomes illegal

Onetab is recommended by Firefox, so it gets monitored for security in some form, but regarding privacy it sends your visited domains to google to get the favicons but the rest of the privacy policy seems very good. As with any proprietary software, you can not really know if it is safe, you just have to trust it. As an alternative I would recommend Tab Stash, it does the trick for me

ISH uses a x86 emulator to run alpine Linux as a terminal. I personally prefer A-shell (mini) as it is more performant

They use the search API and as I understand it they don’t make a profile for API calls (4get uses a web scraper, so probably different)

According to their about page they use google

Could be they use both

I have tried all the engines for this post and Ekoru has been working fine. I’m using the Firefox rpm on Fedora, slightly hardened, no VPN, Quad9. Make sure the Ekoru extension is up to date and has all the necessary permissions or alternatively try lilo

RmDebArc_5,
@RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lilo is more feature complete than Ekoru and allows you to choose a charity (including ocean cleaning), maybe check it out

SearXNG searches google, bing etc. for you and shows them to you. Speed depends on server speed and user number. Even if you don’t self host you can change the search providers in the settings, which can have an effect on result quality, but the less you choose the faster

In the settings of your browser click add search engine, and the paste this link

I’d use AV1, there should be a normal option somewhere. It has higher quality to size ratio, but requires more performance. Webm mainly uses V9, which is not very efficient. Important for the size is also the setting, one codec can have different levels of compression.

Pop!_Shop is the store made for Pop!OS while Software (full name GNOME Software) was made for every distro that uses GNOME and doesn’t want to make their own store. Pop!OS is moving away from GNOME and developing their own Desktop, so they want to have their own app suite and are still keeping the GNOME apps until there desktop fully releases as backup

Not really answering your question, but there is this open source extensions that automatically solves captchas locally

It worked well enough, but since I haven’t used it in a while I can’t say how it holds up

DDG is still the best non self host search engine imao. But Startpage and Swisscows are also great options and don’t have the AI stuff and some neat features like private preview (both) or music search (swisscows). Of those two options startpage is superior in privacy

Why should one use libretube over freetube? What special features does it provide?

RmDebArc_5,

I prefer Sharedrop it allows transfer between networks and has a better up time

So how can the piracy subreddit/community exist?

Packages are usually not official but maintained by your distro, so there are pretty strict controls, especially on Linux Mint Debian edition. Flatpaks on the other hand come from flathub and are less controlled, but since they’re sandboxed the security is still good. If you open the website you can see which apps are verified (official) and which aren’t. Flatpaks also have more user reviews in the most cases
