    1. FOSS. I’m a software engineer and making the world a better place and helping others is why I love my job and what I study. FOSS is the thing that can make tge world a better place and help others.

    I also have a plethora of technical reasons, but I’m sure others will cover them. Just this ideological and philosophical reason is enough for me to be using Linux.












  • I have purchased nym last week.

    1. I got the 1 year plan which came at a great price (price is really important for me atm)
    2. its apps arent as robust and good as mullvad, use more resources. But still do able.
    3. They dont offer config files
    4. It’s speeds seems pretty promising. Better than mullvad
    5. It takes it a while to connect. Maybe up to 1m. While mullvad connected immediately.

    If mullvad wasn’t expensive for me I’d stick with it.






  • I get your point. But we have gotten way too picky and sensitive over time. “We live in a society” as a wise clown once said, and there are all different kinds of people around us. While we have to call out to villains, we can’t be too picky and expect everybody to be what is our opinion on what’s good. You need tolerance in actual communities. Your uncle might be a MAGA idiot but you don’t need to hate him or be enemies with him. You can acknowledge that “hey, I really don’t agree with this view of yours” and have an awesome pick nick or have fun with eachother. I’ve been there.

    Social media and internet have made us comfortable with living in our own bubbles. We go to the social media that we like, follow the certain channels,people,communities that we like, block anything that we don’t like and thus just create ecochambers for ourselves. But that’s not a healthy society. We need to learn tolerance.

    We can find the top 20% of actual bad guys and fully go to war with them, but no need to agree in everything with eachother all the time.
