I’m not judging (that much) but you can do pretty well with just telescope, undo-tree and the LSP stuff, no? Debuggers can make it very bloated, at that point I’d just fire up a real IDE just for debugging and get back to Vim to program

Masks and shades are about as much as you can do without being the weirdo. It at least shields you from some of the less resource intensive threats such as other civilians trying to record you for social media, but real mass surveillance, like China level, will still work

Unviable for economics and finance in my experience. Excel is absolutely mandatory for these

The tokens can’t be traced to the account and are batch generated so you can’t be deanonymized by correlation. They aren’t stored in the account, but locally, in fact Kagi can (and they say they will) just sell the tokens directly, as they aren’t linked at all to an account

You can use privacy pass and pay in crypto

The main reason why I use open source is precisely because I don’t need or want to worry about this crap. The software is as much property of humanity as it is of the creator, it is basically just knowledge

First off, Google has made agressive deals with phone manufacturers to ship spyware with their phones by default, and some of the stuff can only get taken out by rooting/jailbreaking the phone. By doing so, they acquired nearly 100% of the app store market share, and then used it to make “useful features” such as integrity checks that are tied to the Play Services app (which is an always on spyware background app).
The end result is, even if you manage to root your phone and install a custom ROM (which is not always available to every model), a bunch of apps will refuse to work properly because you fail the Google Play fingerprinting steps and are assumed to be a security vulnerability. If I’m not mistaken there’s also some shady stuff with certificates, too

Google already does precisely that with their “open source” mobile OS. People underestimate how easily these guys can ruin stuff

I’ve gotten better at saying please and thank you often, I guess

League was the reason I stalled so long, too, but honestly, Riot is just as bad as Microsoft. Vanguard is unacceptable and we should make our voices heard by not playing their games anymore. There are so many great games running just fine on Linux, nowadays I don’t even feel like I’m restricted at all

Keychron is great as a gateway to mechanical keybs, they work great out of the box and have wireless and such from the get go

Would stuff like Fedora be in danger, in this case? I couldn’t find if Red Hat was US based

We also need people sharing their niche interests and creating discussion… Reddit thrives on these small communities that only find an accessible entrypoint on their platform.
