More than half of that money went to my school fund, and is a large part of why I didn’t need student loans for college.

Why the fuck do you need a school fund and student loans in a developed society? There must be none of that, otherwise it is a shithole system of business leeches.

Working for children must simply not be a thing, and kids should not be working to buy a gaming console. Instead, they should focus on studies and do whatever they want after 18. I will say that even 18 is too low, 21 should be the limit.

How to tell you know nothing about privacy, security and anonymity without telling me that directly. Proton is a fucking snitch for activists.

• 12-16 - can work with parents present
• 16-18 - can work with parental approval

That’s reasonable. I would take this a step further and allow employment of 12-16yos with parental approval and adult supervision

Thanks I guess, you just validated my experience. Libertarians are okay with child labour, which is disturbing and tells how rotten a country really is. If children need to do labour to live, then it is not a developed country.

Lavabit shut down. Riseup and Disroot still need to be battle tested even more.

Libertarians are always in arms about letting minors do jobs and slavery. Atleast this was my experience with USA lolbertarians.

Libertarians rejoice!

Hard pass.

Huberman. The single best podcast the world could have currently.

madaidan and a lot of security clowns in FOSS/privacy community unironically claim that is how security works. However, it is true Rust is far better than C/C++ for security, if thousands of people are coding. Not everyone is going to be the best security programmer in the world.

The real Hitler is Zelensky, though. And considering he is a Zionist like Biden and Netanyahu, it starts to make a lot of sense why Zionists are Nazis of 21st century.

Go through the 6 part series with Matthew Walker on Dr Huberman’s podcast, which just completed today, 5 hours ago. It will give you a bunch of stuff to work with, around 15 hours of discussion. Then look at what is roughly going on, and if you can solve the issue with just that. Otherwise you can consult a professional.

You can also consider mental health toolkit on Huberman’s podcast, alongside the dopamine, sleep and goal toolkits. He also has ones covering depression and happiness. Also if your daily routine is fucked, consider Huberman’s optimal morning routine video on Afterskool channel.

All in all, this might take a couple weeks to go through, if that sounds like a thorough solution to you.

I did not start with KDE or Cinnamon. Start menu paradigm is unneeded when people will discover GNOME is giving the peak experience upon hitting Super/Windows key, when they can just search anything on the system or multitask that way.

I do not miss the Start menu much, even though I use both Debian and Windows 10. Most of the time, I am using Everything/FSearch to find files.

Also, the priority is stability and not needing to continously look up Terminal commands or ask the toxic community for help or minimise internet searches for help. GNOME is the absolute uncontested king DE to get the job done with least amount of it getting in the way.

Pick this guide from a 20 year Windows user. Ubuntu GNOME. Interact as less as you need with Linux “community”, it gives tension, headache and stress. You will not regret it.

Unfortunately Corel, Affinity etc will be a problem, keep Windows aside for that on a secondary SSD. Use Windows with Ameliorated Project, it will make Windows saner to use.

XDM? There is also FileCxx.

There is nothing that will work as simple as IDM, especially with that little floating button on top of videos it detects, with all available frame resolutions. But these two come the closest.

For video sites, I use yt-dlp. For galleries, gallery-dl.

For anime sites, I just log into Windows and use IDM.

They both have a clean track record and are funded purely by activists and dissidents.

I showed the Romney Blinken interview from sino to my Palestinian friend yesterday. He was not shocked, because I have told him these things for years.

The moment I was banned from r/geopolitics within 17 minutes, because I mentioned CFR, Bilderberg, USAID, Atlantic Council and Murdoch network being the control pivots of western psyops media, I understood Reddit is fucked down to its core.

Proton is not for activism. Treat it as bad as Gmail or outlook for that. Moon Of Alabama blog has lots of criticisms. If you want to be anal about using email for activism and whistleblowing, use a serious provider like Riseup or Disroot. All these Protons and Tutanotas are useless. They are only better than Gmail and Outlook.

There are some idiots that spread nonsense about me that I am paranoid or whatever. Yes I am proud of it, because they are the incompetent ones. Big Tech “security” shills and a lot of kiddies without experience do this.

Edit: I will take the liberty of recommending digdeeper’s blog for email providers.

That’s not a problem, the problem is counter culture normies are almost as bad as normies. This is not what I wanted Lemmy to be, when I helped build it.
