And anybody who thinks that Linus doesn’t look for those ways to break Linux is deluding themselves. He’s a fucking asshole.

Wow, dude. Get back to your echo chamber. You’re brittle and shrill outside of it.

Well, my ISP doesn’t need to know anything about my posts. And the fediverse doesn’t need to know who I am beyond “growingentropy,” so…

Did you just do the “if you don’t have anything to hide, what’s the big deal” move?

I want privacy. That’s all.

No idea. I installed a VPN on my router to get privacy. That’s all I ask.

I have a router with a VPN. I’m not disabling that just to post on lemmy.world.

I got off lemmy.world because they block VPN connections. Not happening, under any circumstances. I don’t trust anyone that much.

I have no formal tech background, but I’m pretty damn good with it. And I like Arch and Debian with XFCE.

Yes, absolutely. But I also wouldn’t want to. GUI tools have their issues sometimes. The command line is basically raw compute power.

I was team VLC for certain things it could do, and then I found that MPV could do all those things and more. Crazy how versatile it is.

Been on it for a few years now. It’s great.

The only other one I’d really recommend is Podcast Addict. I only switched to Antennapod because it has a little less busy UI.
