Transfered from Feddit.ch as they closed up shop unfortunately.
I used to like his content and still like Surveillance Report but Henry always talks about how Apple is so private and a good option for an OS ecosystem. It’s closed source, it looks like they (Apple) push “privacy” so they can have a monopoly on the data, and are anti consumer in many ways. Now his push for Synology has been growing.
Seems like he takes the easy way out with privacy. I understand life is busy (as he mentions a lot) but in order to make positive change you have to believe in and follow values that give power to open source tech and not the giants who steal your data, monetize you, and are in bed with the government
You’re welcome. I find Fedora to be much more up to date and refined than Ubuntu but also very stable still, at least the atomic variants as those are what I use. Also Ubuntu has all the controversy about trying to force their own packages at you as well as other things
This guy has an interesting perspective on that topic. He provides good points on how what you’re saying could be wrong
That is quite nice composition for a beginner. Well done
Try the weird state and the seemingly proper on state
It says failed to load media unfortunately. I’m glad you’re enjoying the hobby. Darktable is a great editing software fyi
To add to what others have said. Since your computer runs fine when it’s on I wonder if you’ll see anything off but I suppose it’s worth a shot as it’s easy to test. Look up a 24pin diagram and use a multimeter to test if the pins are outputting the correct voltages.
I don’t know of a guide but I’d suggest making a new anonymous account (email and privacy card) but make sure it’s created while using a VPN (for that initial IP log) and then continue to use it on a VPN (don’t forget DNS in general too). Then be sure to be on Linux and use the Flatpak as it’s a sandboxed application. I read a thread about viruses in a Proton environment and how they can still access other parts of your system so there may be a weak point in the sandbox with Proton, but I’m no expert and have little knowledge on the subject.
I did and got the same results unfortunately. Good to know though, thank you
I’ve recently converted two people from Windows to Linux with Fedora Kinoite. One of them has been using it for maybe two months now without a single issue and the other just started using it with positive first impressions. I find it very modern, simple, and familiar. The atomic system just works too. I enjoy it much more than Mint
This is amazing to hear. I’m so happy for him and his family
In addition to other things people responded with, piracy services tend to not collect users data or prevent us from watching with a VPN enabled.
I remembered seeing the video in my feed but never watched it. I just checked again and it’s not there. Must have been removed
I’ve been using Mint on one of my computers for a few years and recently got into Fedora KDE. I find Fedora KDE to be much more modern than Mint so people get a good first impression of Linux. KDE also is just as familiar as Mint for Windows users in my opinion. I also find the atomic Kinoite to simply just work and the fact that it’s much more difficult to screw up I think is a plus for normal PC users.
Okay I see. I read about that protocol on some pens. Good to know that Linux supports it. Thank you
When he heard of an alternative to Windows he jumped on it as he’s unhappy with Windows, like so many are.
People are sick and tired of Windows, subscriptions everywhere, and many other poor trends in life so you don’t really have to force people anywhere. They are unhappy but don’t know alternatives exist so when they hear about them many people are excited for change.
Thank you. I clearly need to prioritize learning more about ports. I have had little time to try fixing this issue (hence why this comment is so late) but figured out it was VPN related. My phone’s VPN was blocking connection. After enabling local network bypass another SMB entry appeared with the accurate IP, if required me to only enter my username and then it connected fine.
