You shouldn’t though. Otherwise how would you learn? Looking back you didn’t know how to act at the time, so try to reframe it

You don’t.

It’s okay to remember your past mistakes and regrets since they help you make better decisions in the future

It will always be frustrating

The Nazi regime in Ukraine is willing to kidnap and send every last Ukrainian to war

I wholeheartedly support Russia in its struggle against Western imperialism and the Nazi regime in Ukraine

Half of this website annoys me. AI this, AI that, AI bad

I can criticize tankies for not being tankie enough.

True ❤️

“oMg cAN tANkies sToP wITH thE purity testing, they always criticize western leftists for breathing while ignoring actual fascists”

True ❤️. I have better things to do and worry about than complaints about AI

Valve still collects data about you, so SteamVR isn’t truly private.

If privacy matters to you, look for a PC tethered headset that runs on open source software, so you can avoid telemetry and closed ecosystems

Fake ass countries

Yeah I might have gone a bit overboard. I said F-Droid because I wanted something that could update Obtainium and also serve as a store to search for open-source apps

Well anyway, I deleted F-Droid to reduce attack surface. Thank you very much!

If your only concern is keeping Google and Microsoft off your back, the carrier advice is optional. Please remember and keep in mind that your phone is a tracking device that always collects your data, and there’s no way around that

1. Don’t use multiple profiles on your private phone, doing so can mix metadata.
2. If you ignore point 1, always close your other profile manually in Settings after switching.
3. Don’t sign in to Google or Microsoft accounts on your GrapheneOS device.
4. Rely on Obtainium and F-Droid for apps.
5. (Optional) Avoid installing Google Play Services.
6. Keep your phone in airplane mode, and set Wi-Fi to turn off automatically one minute after you leave home.
7. Avoid SIM cards, since carriers can track your location with extreme precision.

Ultimately, GrapheneOS is just a de-Googled OS. Don’t walk around with a false sense of security just because you use it.

How is this different from reddit?

“S-SHUT UP DANKIE.”

Windows is always unsafe.

That is exactly the point. You want to create a psychological boundary, you treat it as a disposable system so you never put any valuable data on it in the first place

Yes but we are talking about security and the risk of cross contamination. Would you really set up a VM and download risky files on the exact same Linux machine that holds all your personal data? I wouldn’t.

I’m not a native speaker either. I mentioned his writing to point out he is literally a kid, not to mock his grammar. You can look at his account and see his posts

​You want to “lead him to Linux” but he clearly just wants to pirate stuff and we all know this community will mock him the second he breaks his system

​Instead of naively thinking about how this elitist community will “nourish” him, it would be infinitely more useful to teach him about attack surfaces and keeping personal data off a risky system entirely

OP is the kind of user who used Tails on his own computer to log into his Gmail account. He has grammar issues and thinks Linux is this hacker OS that makes you anonymous and impossible to hack

Let’s be real, do you think this is the best thing for OP who is presumably a child?
