I’d argue that, while privacy comes at a cost to society, it’s an essential building block of democracy.

Unfortunately, we cannot uncover messages of child abusers without also helping uncover messages of opposition leaders, for example.

Also, as our lives move more and more digital, basic expectation of personal privacy online becomes part of comfortable digital living. We all have things we don’t want a random dude in the uniform to see, even if there’s nothing criminal in there at all.

That said, total digital surveillance is probably gonna cost us more than digital privacy, but government has a lot to gain from it, which is, to my mind, why we have this unpopular thing pushed so hard in the first place. Public is generally very vocal about NOT wanting this.

No you sound like an ass.

Having strong disagreements doesn’t mean personal rage answers are alright.

While disagreeing with the statement above, I’d like to call for civility.

Sounds like BAT token from Brave

Top up by buying it or watching ads somewhere else, and then spend on sites you see as important or flat to everyone who you visit and is connected to BAT ecosystem.

~you too :3~

Upvoted!

One situation I’ve repeatedly faced that could be solved by fully public voting is having those debates when someone puts a single downvote on my opponent’s comments.

Silly, yes, but it may look like I am downvoting a person to aggravate. I am not, it’s not me! :D

Amazing OSM-based maps app, totally recommend.

And that’s wonderful!

But normies, sadly, do not

Fair enough

NixOS is currently beyond my comprehension, sadly, but I keep an eye on it, still!

Thanks for such a detailed response!

Printer drivers are pain indeed. Had some trouble installing drivers for an obscure Brother printer myself, and that’s with AUR at hand (I currently run Manjaro, an Arch derivative, on my main PC, and Debian on laptop)

Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Will look into BlueBuild indeed!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

True, it constantly feels like a war game with my own system and I wanted to know if it gets any better :D

I see your point, thanks!

If we’re talking email and docs and stuff, doesn’t it make sense to install something like Debian, properly set it up and leave it be?

Sounds like an option that really really wouldn’t ever bork.

Yeah that’s my problems as I currently faced described in one comment.

System files install is a mess, and stability is actually shitty for some reason.

In fairness, dnf can be used via Fedora toolbox.

But yeah, I see your point!
