I'm happy for linus to send his zombies to distro's (other than what I use), but they will just annoy people on forums etc, and blame linux after they use ai to f*ck it all up. You can only watch trashtubers for so long without clearly being trash yourself. We all start somewhere, and internet searches push people towards the biggest/trashiest channels, but anyone who is genuinely interested in tech, and wants it to improve in meaningful ways, will soon move on from linus et al.

No doubt KDE appreciates the shout out for being "viable" ...

You should post on social media about that

You are welcome to spoon feed all of the linus fans with the flavour of the month distro"s, or now I guess with steam os. Less than 5% of them will be worth it. It's very ironic to end up at linux due to someone like linus.

linus goes wherever the money and attention is. steam fanboys click like a lot.

walled articles do not belong on social media

An email and vpn provider promoting themselves as privacy conscious, and then developing ai should set off alarm bells. I was previously a customer of proton (email and vpn), you don't have to pay attention to their products, social media, and customer service for long to realise that marketing is their strong point. Purple-washing may become a term for faux privacy companies in future.

Thank you Safing I have not heard of. ivpn not great for southern hemisphere (but do appear ethical) Tor I haven't looked into for a long time I looked into nym not long ago and left myself this note 'Pricey if doing per month, not if doing for year. Lack of transparency, shit website. Dodgy feel.'
