  • I do not use the native YouTube website. I do not have a Google/Gmail account. I do not use chromium, Chrome, or Edge, or Brave. I disable webscrpts and manually temporarily enable them as needed with all webscripts disabled again after Ivclose the browser. I don’t use nathive Android or iPhone. I have all 3rd party scripts and cookies blocked by default.

    I never interact with any Google tracking or Google service on any of my electronic devices. I do not use Google search. Whatever happens with Google I will not see since I do not access anything Google on a monthly basis.

    Wether it’s due to server or client, Proton is not option.

    There are free Telegram clients, there is no way I will ever register with Telegram service.

    I am extra harsh of Proton because I reject the concept of proprietary security. They trumpet privacy and security but tell people to trust them for secuity, they can’t release server code, but they want everybody to trust that their servers don’t have a back up of account info like keys or backup access to account.

    I don’t use Signal for the same reason, only Molly, and I refuse to install Signal on computer.


  • I said native F-Droid repsitory. I also said with zero anti-features.

    In F-Droid settings, under Include anti-feature apps, unselect all or turn off all options, turn off other repositories like Izzy, then do a regular app search for Proton, there is nothing available in F-Droid



  • How are people surprised? How is this news?

    The second you mentioned Google you’re talking about an all-seeing totalitarian state. Nothing you said about imbedding tracking links in docs is surprised. As a corporation they are always developing new ways to pimp you out and make you turn tricks for Google without you knowing while they keep all of the pay from your actiities.

    Google tries to turn every human on the planent into their personal money making whore.





  • For 10, unplug ethernet or do not connect to wi-fi and it should all you to continue or allow you to skip creating an MS account.

    On the one system I use for gaming, before I install 10 which I have done a few times, I shutdown computer, physically unplug ethernet cable, then turn on computer and start the installation process, and I’ve created a local account everytime. Do not plug in cable or connect online until Windows has rebooted to the start desktop with Start menu. If you connect during installation it could force you to create online account.



  • Have you watching benchmark videos to see how far behind your 2600 is? A 13100 would give you 100% more speed, much less the 14100 that is coming out.

    Since you focus on games with the 165Hz, buy a 7600x, get a quality motherboard like an Aorus Elite AX or MSI at that price, 32GB DDR5, then in 3 or 4 years you buy a 9950x and go to 16 cores on that motherboard to do a system upgrade.

    Trying a new system is not the same as using it for a week with all of your programs installed and you see how responsive it is with your programd open and running.

    You are missing a lot of instruction sets, and buyig AM5 now or next year buying Intel with feed the 165Hz a lot smoother and you will make better use of it. The 2600 can’t keep up with the 6850 and provice consistant smooth frame timings.

    You need to build a new computer including new power supply. You can only re-use the Radeon and storage in new system, everything else must be replaced. Check the price of 2600K on eBay. You whole PC minus 6850 might sell for $200. I would argue that you’re holding on to something that can’t sell anymore.


  • It’s the combination of requiring Proton servers and the fact that that there is no public release of server source code or specifying which open source software runs on Proton servers, amount to a type of vender lock-in

    RiseUpVPN uses OpenVPN from Bitmask so everybody can duplicate the service using their own custom build version of OpenVPN to connect to RiseUp servers so their server’s code is publicly accessible.
