Are you deliberately being obtuse? They do enforce no torrenting of copyrighted material. Downloading they tend to not care, but uploading will get you legal notices in many EU nations

That applies for most things tbh

To get into a private tracker you need to have a good seed to leech ratio, and to do that you need to upload a lot, which is what gets you on the ISP hitlist. This solution is by definition not useful for people in countries where the ISPs enforce no torrenting

OP is a close relative of “Hey everyone, I have 5 days to visit Europe, what’s the best route to see everything?”

Your argument is that if someone can use an “advanced” excel feature, they should also be able to code up that feature for a foss alternative software?

Why do you assume you’ll be downvoted by sync users instead of because revanced sucks ass? It’s hard to set up and will randomly break requiring resetup (Hopefully I don’t get downvoted by revanced user)

Because they’re russian and offering free cloud storage of your business documents

and then wait for the baggage at the other end? no thanks! carry on luggage I get to walk straight out no waiting

how is it just as fiddly as vim? it’s the only one that’s even half intuitive

They asked for an app for their phone, you suggested setting up a home server and hosting an application on it, all to just send a notification every 30 mins

That’s not particularly helpful

Then you send it back to the company for a refund?

Where are all the people who claim to never ever have had an issue with audio or Bluetooth on Linux and how it’s worse on windows?

Controversial opinion: unless your university studies and work is in OS development, then you should go for Windows or Mac. You won’t have energy or time to keep fixing your laptop OS when an update breaks the Bluetooth driver or whatever when you have a class to attend and assignments to do

I interpreted “middle of the road” as doing nothing special, just normal tasks done a normal way and therefore hoping everything just works so you can focus on work

This is why I got a MacBook (unpopular opinion here)

Move to industry!

Proton VPN I found not good for streaming sites. Considering the forum we are on, I doubt that is a primary requirement here but it was unstable and regularly detected by the streaming sites. The stream kept getting buffering issues and the only way to fix it was a series of restarting and refreshing different things and trying different servers. Support just pushes you through a flowchart of settings questions when really their service should just work properly

It was a pretty disappointing experience considering I actually forked out money for it (not the free tier)
