Thanks, I think I probably will end up on Artix eventually. I’m going to try Gentoo first just because it interests me though!

Yeah I think I will. This change alone isn’t actually that bad but it shows an eagerness to comply which I can’t accept. I’m not sure which distro to choose though, it’s probably between Gentoo, Artix and Void

So its time to move to a distro without systemd?

Ah I see, I didn’t realise you’d got rid of the old backups. Glad you managed to get most of it back!

And at least you have an off site backup, I still haven’t found a decent way to do it that isn’t prohibitively expensive

If you hadn’t got lucky with the backup array would your existing off site backups have been any help or were they too out of date?

Republicans are absolute scum but they only exist in the US and are not in charge of every state. This is a bipartisan push around the globe.

Best I can do is a bunch of age verification laws to take even more control away from you

Let’s see if it gets released before GrapheneOS and unlockable bootloader get outlawed

It doesn’t have to be a new model though

And then if you check for updates after you finish installing somehow there are even more

Even if everything you say comes true I still don’t see the prices coming back down. They never did after covid

Get hacked and leak it for starters, as has already happened with Discord. And social media is a loose definition that can be expanded to include whatever you want. Currently Lemmy and Mastodon are not included but it could be. And Lemmy currently has none of my personal information so uploading my ID would be infinitely worse than what we have now. And before you say it’s not feasible to force all instances to comply or be blocked that won’t stop them trying.

That really doesn’t ease my concern that it’s just more government surveillance

Its not just about social media, the scope keeps changing and these laws are being used as a framework for mass censorship and surveillance of the entire internet. First it was just porn, now it’s social media and next will probably be VPNs. And social media is a loose definition that can be expanded to include whatever you want, I’m sure at one point Australia were going to include github in their age verification law although I don’t know if they followed through with that.

And sure for now we can escape to platforms like Lemmy which are free from both age verification and the general shittiness of the big platforms, but guarantee it won’t stay that way for long.

And the solution to that is to give the billionaires your government ID?

Fight against billionaires

Look inside

Surveillance and censorship of everyone else

And the paid stuff usually steals it as well

They’ve thought of that as well, soon nobody will be able to afford consumer grade hardware
