Oh, well that’s great. I hope the people, whose identity, medical records, or whatever else was stolen will be compensated accordingly. Would be a shame if the money went into building a new, just as unsafe system.

Not that anyone gives a fuck. At this point the argument is “your data had probably already been stolen somewhere else”…

There is the expected amount of negativity in the comments, but also more positivity than I expected.

I watched the video. I am not really a fan of the style, I don’t agree with all of the content. But damn, a big influencer is using his reach to talk about retaking privacy and control in your online life. It can be such a difficult subject to pitch without sounding crazy. I think the video existing is great and pushes general awareness in the right direction.

I finally switched to Linux as my daily driver (gaming, browsing, watching stuff) a week ago. Admittedly I have been using it at work for a few years.

• I chose Pop!_OS as a distribution, because it supposedly streamlines nvidia driver hassles and I wanted to give it a try
• Installed the OS, Discord, Steam, no problems
• Installed and played Raft, Vampire Survivors, TW Warhammer 3, Outer Wilds, no problems and no additional config needed

Just to add a voice to the positive feedback! If you have a spare computer or hard drive, I absolutely encourage you to try it out!
