#Microsoft in 2001: Linux is a cancer! Microsoft in 2023: Here is how you choose and install a cool #Linux distro. It's similar to #Windows but #opensource and fully customizable. @ilumium Microsoft's pivoted to the cloud. Its like proprietary software, but there we're not so much a threat to them! @ilumium Please people, choose "Bare metal Linux", not WSL or a VM, if you can possibly do so. You eliminate a whole layer of bloat that you do not need. Today is a good day to run away as far as you can from the #Chrome browser (and anything else from #Google really). https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/27/google_web_environment_integrity Search -> @Mojeek @StartpageSearch or #Duckduckgo Gmail -> @protonmail #Mailfence or @mailbox_org Maps -> @organicmaps or #OSMand Android -> @murena's #eOS or @linegeos@fosstodon.org Play Store -> @fdroidorg And for full-blown liberty: @yunohost :) @ilumium @mozilla @Mojeek @StartpageSearch @protonmail @mailbox_org @organicmaps @murena @fdroidorg @yunohost I settled on Firefox, but I still use Google search. As long as it fully blocks ads, it's better than Chrome, that's really my only concern. @ilumium@eupolicy.social @mozilla@mozilla.social @Mojeek@mastodon.social @StartpageSearch@mastodon.social @protonmail@mastodon.social @mailbox_org@mastodon.social @organicmaps@fosstodon.org @murena@mastodon.social @linegeos@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social @yunohost@mastodon.social Of course, #Snap's behaviour here only emphasises the immense power centralised #platforms like #Snapchat, #Facebook, and #Instagram have over our public and political debates and how they can invisibly manipulate them (with our without cooperation of the government). And why we need things like the #Fediverse to take back control of our digital public spaces. #DigitalPublicSpaces @ilumium When I say Big Tech filters your reality, this is what I mean. (And some folks still think I’m exaggerating.) |

@ilumium
the crazy thing, almost all of it is a private credit asset bubble. it will only take the right global supply train Janga piece to pop it all.
Hint: Watch this spot for insurance default!
@ilumium
Funny, that’s about the amount of money we need to address the #ClimateCrisis globally.
Looks like the timing could not have been better for that metal Les Mis part of the #OpeningCeremony.
Good job #Paris2024 reminding them that there are worse fates than the big boogieman they see in the taxman. #TaxTheRich
