    Stay away from most free VPNs unless they're from a company known for respecting privacy. The only "free" one I'd recommend is Proton VPN, but I'd strongly encourage paying for one such as Mullvad

    Family member goes mask off advocating for genocide of Palestinians

    This is in response to [this video](https://youtu.be/_mwcFEpAYkU). I expressed concern about propaganda that leads a population to excuse atrocities, and they responded with this after some back and forth. For the record, we're not Israeli, neither do we have any friends or family who are, so I have no idea where "we" came from. I even called them out for it earlier in the conversation. I'm not posting the rest of the convo so don't ask.

    The only thing really preinstalled is basic stuff like desktop environments and a few tools to help with updates and manage the system (eos-update, etc). Even almost all the package repositories are the ones maintained by arch.

    I guess this could also be based on the distro you use as well as your graphics card. For me, I use EndeavourOS, which is very close to base arch, so I had to do some extra setup to get proton working on it. For some reason, Proton refused to work on the Arch repo's Steam package, so I had to use the flatpak version instead

    To be fair there still is a lot of tinkering involved to get gaming on Linux working properly (unless you're on the steamdeck, but even them you'll have to tinker for anything that's not verified). Switching proton runners, changing launch options, fighting updates. It's definitely more than most people are willing to deal with. For me personally, I've had to stop updating my video drivers because Nvidia 555 causes all Proton games to crash for me.

    I enjoy the experience of tinkering and troubleshooting, so I'm okay with all that, but I completely understand why most people wouldn't want to use Linux for gaming.

    Wouldn't this dude be 15-16 at the time of those posts? That's a lot of time for a young person to change their views. I know I basically did a 180 from conservative to leftist in that time frame.

    I'm not trying to say he wasn't right-wing, but using what someone posted when they were in high school as evidence for political motivation 4-5 years later seems flawed to me

    The Boys is what always got me. It was "woke" from the first season, criticizing evangelicalism and corporatism, themes that were (and still are) major topics of debate today. As the show goes on, it tackles more ongoing issues like rainbow capitalism, police brutality, and now, rising fascism in America, and it's only woke now?

    I mean (playing devil's advocate here as a former Mormon and later Christian, currently an atheist), the natural state of humanity is to not follow God, as seen in 1 Corinthians 2:14: "The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God". So the argument an apologist would make here is that women need to go against their nature and submit to men. Much better, right 🙄

    I use librewolf, and even with max privacy settings and anti-fingerprinting, it still said I had a semi-unique fingerprint. Turns out that the site wasn't built to handle the anti-fingerprinting system which will give false and randomized information about your computer to websites. So you're probably fine, but you can always use librewolf if you want more privacy
