None. I use HTTPS websites that protect my data.

Most modern ones it’s just commands you have to run. You can usually find an easy walk-though on the MrChromebox website. I haven’t seen one that required a jumper or anything in a LONG time.

All of these machines make for decent Linux laptops. I picked up an EOL Chromebook for $35 last year and installed Debian on it. Decent little machine. Not terribly fast but very useable.

Literally zero down side and it’s safer.

Slower speeds are safer. There would be a lot less fatalities if everyone just went the speed limit.

I pay legally for:

• YouTube Premium
• Peacock
• Max
• Spotify
• Global Comics

I also have a monthly pass at a local theater chain and see new movies almost every week.

BUT I torrent everything else. Sorry, Universal, I’m not going to pay $24 to rent Fast X.

Yeah, they’re always outside the Steakhouse picketing. Running at me constantly with a fork full of green vegetables.

THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE IN REAL LIFE.

Installed on my laptop and it’s solid and actually feels very snappy. I’ll be getting it installed on my work PC this week.

I don’t use Google very often anymore, more of a DuckDuckGo fan. However using ChatGPT has become my goto for quick howto stuff. A lot of web searches will load clickbait articles or dead end forums. Using GPT I often get a strait forward guide built for exactly what I need.

F-Droid is where I get 90% of the applications I need however banking and public transit apps are almost never open source. Once in a while I will buy a game or app that is developed does something that I can’t get from the community.

This is a bummer. I actually used Aurora to download my paid apps. I would buy on the website and login on my degoogled phone. Now degoogled users will have to just pirate apps they want. So much for supporting small developers.

That’s ultimately why I left the last time. That and the speed in which most instances load is terrible.

This has inspired me to start testing out Searx as my default again.
