  • This is such an idiotic take. Yes i get it, Brave do try to offer some bullshit features out of the box, but there’s not many (if any) that don’t. You are not supporting scams or homophobia by using Brave.

    You can very easily and quickly lock down Brave to remove all their nonsense. This is just the same like you do with other browsers so all good.

    Yeah, company is shady, but browser is still grand for now if you do your own lockdown of features.

    If you wish a browser rec, please go with Mullvad.




  • I totally missed him being a Youtube jackoff and only watched my first Pewdiepie video last year when he was degoogling. Because I was doing that as well. Then saw his Linux video and that made me realise Linux was for me.

    So while people might think he’s some sort of douche, to me he’s just fucking brilliant! So funny and smart, and really wants to help people escape from the awful internet we have now, where everything is sucking up your data. He gives great advice on how to do that and does it in such a funny way.

    People keep mentioning his redemption arc lol, but i’ve just seen the great stuff so for me, abs love his stuff! Highly recommended!

    Best thing for Linux, having such a huge Youtuber praising it so much!


  • I think the thing that will really push it into this kind of territory is if a company sells their desktop PCs with Linux already installed.

    Similar to how Steam used Linux for the Steam Deck and how that allowed far, far more people to experience Linux.

    Similar to how Linux (Android) has a huge market share on phones - because it came pre-installed!

    Like most normal people, outside of tech probably haven’t even heard of Linux. Some people arent even aware there are more options other than Windows.

    So yeah, I think the more that big companies start selling their products with Linux pre-installed, the closer we get to 20%!

    (Side note I think Linux might be closer to 10% already, although theres no real way to tell. Most estimates we have are massive underestimates since most people simply turn off telemetry on their Linux installs where possible, we Linux users are not usually the type to allow our data to be harvested so easily lol)










  • Aw shit, this sucks because my company uses this authentication method.

    I guess when the change finally happens I’ll just be saying ‘you owe me a phone for this’. Absolutely no way i am going back to Android just for this on my personal phone.

    One possible workaround is to add more options to your security info in your work account. For example, I added my number and also a specific password as an option last year when I moved onto Graphene and had to update that info. Would that be an option?

    Unsure if that would even work or if those options are more for account recovery (when no longer have access to a specific device)
