I will continue to fight, annoy, and agitate the capitalist status quo. Majority of Americans do not agree with current politics, our current “leader”, or oligarchs controlling everything.

I looked for a reasonable Linux laptop for my wife and either it was European (large shipping costs) or ridiculously marked up.

She just went with a windows laptop 🤷‍♀️

Proton has cooperated with subpoenas on multiple occasions leading to the user’s arrest.

My thinking is, if the CIA (or whatever country’s equivalent) is on to you, it’s pretty much jover.

I use Proton currently since it comes with my proton subscription. But I used mullvad for years and prefer it. They’re both good, you can’t go wrong really.

I like the philosophy behind Debian. It’s not a corpo distro
