Linux is a bad attemot at copying UNIX. BSD comes from the orginal UNIX of the 70’s. BSD was a summary of the patches, fixes, and other developents that was applied to the Unix codebase and then after the lawsuit took the original UNIX patches and started BSD 4.4-lite

You stuck in the cult of Linux and projecting your mentality onto other things without deciphering each on their technical marits. You look at all software in Linux terminology rather than making a distinction to articulate correct phrasing in a cohesive manner.

Wrong, guess again. Read the websites.

BSD is FOSS, unless you are an idealogue.

BSD does not have distributions, those don’t exist.

In that specific area, that’s where compared to each BSD operating system, Linux will forever be trash garbage.

If this ends up deviding the internet, I encourage it. A centralized internet is how corporations have been able to take ocer the internet, compared to the internet of 1996. And fediverse is not rhe answer. If the fediverse protected offensive speech and protected crude offensive opinions, but not be a free-for-all, only then would there be a real chance of federated services and platforms catching on to the wider general public.

While I do not outright dismiss your argument, I believe this general discussion is getting amplified or heightened by people who are neither programmers nor hackers. For the record, hackers are typically good people, it’s the crackers that cause the problems.

I have faith too many people who are I.T. engineers would strongly resist for Google to have a complete stranglehold on the entire internet. The more people are hurdled into a single way of thinking, the more diverse the resistance becomes.

I’m not going to be concerned until the intermet has a collective whole says Librewolf doesn’t work for websites, ungoogled chromium doesn’t work for websites, and Brave browser doesn’t work for websites. Less than that, I will dismiss it as sensational drama.

I use IceCat with NoScript, PolicyBlock, DecentralEyes to block 3rd party, and some other add-ons to access bank and pay bills.

I do not use the native YouTube website. I do not have a Google/Gmail account. I do not use chromium, Chrome, or Edge, or Brave. I disable webscrpts and manually temporarily enable them as needed with all webscripts disabled again after Ivclose the browser. I don’t use nathive Android or iPhone. I have all 3rd party scripts and cookies blocked by default.

I never interact with any Google tracking or Google service on any of my electronic devices. I do not use Google search. Whatever happens with Google I will not see since I do not access anything Google on a monthly basis.

And how much power does Google have to force that on websites that reject it and users who use Lbrewolf or IceCat?

You sound like you are parroting and self-aggrandizing or contrived.

Nothing you said answers my post.

How can YouTube interfer with adblockers in Firefox/Librewolf/IceCat?

Wether it’s due to server or client, Proton is not option.

There are free Telegram clients, there is no way I will ever register with Telegram service.

I am extra harsh of Proton because I reject the concept of proprietary security. They trumpet privacy and security but tell people to trust them for secuity, they can’t release server code, but they want everybody to trust that their servers don’t have a back up of account info like keys or backup access to account.

I don’t use Signal for the same reason, only Molly, and I refuse to install Signal on computer.

I said native F-Droid repsitory. I also said with zero anti-features.

In F-Droid settings, under Include anti-feature apps, unselect all or turn off all options, turn off other repositories like Izzy, then do a regular app search for Proton, there is nothing available in F-Droid

When Proton has a single app available on native F-Droid wirh zero anti-features, not from a different repository,conly then will I use their services. I don’t use anything from them now. No Protonmail, no VPN, I don’t use them.

How are people surprised? How is this news?

The second you mentioned Google you’re talking about an all-seeing totalitarian state. Nothing you said about imbedding tracking links in docs is surprised. As a corporation they are always developing new ways to pimp you out and make you turn tricks for Google without you knowing while they keep all of the pay from your actiities.

Google tries to turn every human on the planent into their personal money making whore.

First choice is always talk on SimpleX, second is Signal/Molly for something easier, there is no other app that I use.

Did you run a progran to proactive zero out and wipe the whole drive like Parted Magic and then reboot system to load Windows boot media or did you use the Windows installer to only delete the partitions and install Windows again but not actively wipe the drive first?

For 10, unplug ethernet or do not connect to wi-fi and it should all you to continue or allow you to skip creating an MS account.

On the one system I use for gaming, before I install 10 which I have done a few times, I shutdown computer, physically unplug ethernet cable, then turn on computer and start the installation process, and I’ve created a local account everytime. Do not plug in cable or connect online until Windows has rebooted to the start desktop with Start menu. If you connect during installation it could force you to create online account.
