Started using Linux in 2010 on a virtual machine on a Windows XP machine that was really not meant to run it and it was God awful. But I knew that it was the virtual machine not Linux itself. After that I was using my laptop for school and a Windows update completely broke it and I absolutely had to use it for the next class that I was going to in like five minutes and I had a flash drive with a live Linux environment already on it and so I just used that. However, once I was done with class that day, my first thought was why should I even go in and attempt to fix this Windows machine when Linux has been working fine for me all day. And so I just went ahead and wiped the disk and ran the installer. And I’ve been using Linux ever since. I do generally keep a Windows virtual machine around, just in case, but it’s extremely rare that I’ve ever needed to use it.

By using PeerTube instead

Yeah, definitely Earthbending for sure.

A gunman could walk in with an AK-47 and shoot everybody dead on live tv… Oh wait, you mean what will happen in the debate? Well obviously since it’s already over, we know the answer to that.

Consume everything you can. Go down the rabbit hole so deep you’re afraid you’ll never come back. To start with, I suggest Monero Talk. That’s where you can start to listen to podcasts about it. And to get your first, you can go to xmrbazaar.com and click “Earn XMR”

I use the T-Mobile Connect prepaid plan now, but I’ve heard very good things about Mint Mobile and for a long time I used Ting Mobile before it was bought by Dish Network.

Edit: btw i run a community !t_mobile@lemmy.ml If anyone has any interesting topics.

Monero

I got the 50 from this video.

Ugh, Yes, you could. But, Cloudflare.

If you self-host, it’s better, but it’s still not great. The people would then know the IP address of your server that you were hosting it on, so you’d have to make sure it was a VPS and not done from home.

Because encryption doesn’t work for rooms over 50 people, so any room over that size is public by default. And most of the usage is the Matrix.org home server.

Accept Monero and you will get free advertisement because the Monero community very much cares about businesses that accept Monero and will drive traffic to you. Also, the Monero community is extremely aligned with privacy.

No, the only one that knows your IP is your server. So your server knows your IP because you talked to it and the server knows the recipient servers IP because that’s who you’re sending to. And the recipient knows their servers IP but doesn’t know your servers IP and doesn’t know your IP. Now you can find the recipient servers IP by doing a ping obviously and they can find your servers IP that same way but they can’t find your IP directly and you can’t find their IP directly. Now, this may change for audio calls because that uses WebRTC, but I can’t speak to that.

Privacy for me, not for the…

If they are doing it of their own free will, and it’s their decision, I see no problem with it.

I’m not asking individually. I’m asking in aggregate.

I don’t know of any particular song but I like a lot of female pop artists that as a guy I am not supposed to like. I like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and all the rest of them as well as genie in a bottle by Christina Aguilera and some Britney Spears. Quite frankly, I don’t give a fuck what other people think about me. If you don’t like me, then it’s probably best that we not talk with each other anyway.

This is a very good one.
