@tcit Oh yeah, I forgot that the premium servers were already for the $10 subscription. However, if you want my OpenVPN credentials, just ask.

@tcit You can use ProtonVPN for free, including two Australian servers.

@melunaka Well because Debian uses systemd, Red Hat uses systemd, Archlinux uses systemd, Ubuntu uses systemd, Qubes OS uses systemd, and almost any GNU/Linux distro that isn't anti-systemd, so it's about the "monopoly" point.

@melunaka So long as Poettering's hairs don't take over the planet, no it's ok

And there isn't much to do, Canonical won't do this right now, Fedora Linux is run by a multi-billion dollars company, and Debian is running the Internet so everything's fine.

But when Mark Shuttleworth says the Internet is full of negative people please don't be part of it, support him and the work of his employees, and be thankful that he managed to make such a thing.

Well:

1) some people don't want Ubuntu to have a monopoly on beginner GNU/Linux distros

2) so they trash-talk Ubuntu and praise Fedora Linux

3) a distro run by Red Hat, a billion-dollars company which develops systemd

4) companies can't have a monopoly on free software because we can fork it at any time

5) but unfortunately we can't maintain a decent community spinoff because we only installed GNU/Linux because we had time to kill, not because we're developers (see Mageia, Elementary OS)

6) so the main concern is Canonical abandoning Ubuntu desktop because we couldn't keep a decent fork anyway

Petit con, pourquoi les blancs fot du rap, pourquoi

J'écoute Simple/Basique d'Orelsan et c'est hyper toxique, purée

So party's over, I go back to work

OF COURSE, these assholes want my credit card (to automatically charge me after the 3 months trial).

Dude. If I had a credit card I wouldn't use your service, even for a single track

I'm trying to use my coupon with Deezer, follow me through this adventure!

Current state: they refuse to accept me because my IP is from Netherlands.

Je rappelle que ProtonMail fournit gratuitement des emails chiffrés et un VPN et que je paie pour ça donc n'hésitez pas à vous en servir:

https://protonmail.com
https://protonvpn.com

Donc chiffrer ses communications et ses métadonnées avec Freenet (https://freenetproject.org), IPFS (https://ipfs.io), ou/et avec le Dark Internet Mail Environment (https://lavabit.com), ou à tout le moins utiliser sa propre infrastructure pour les emails et l'édition collaborative de documents importe tout particulièrement pour:

– des syndicats
– du personnel médical
– des collectifs LGBTI
– toute forme d'opposition au capitalisme d'État de plus en plus violent de l'État français

Les données peuvent représenter une question de vie et de mort, et particulièrement, évidemment, pour des personnes marginalisées.

Pour une personne jugée inutile. Pour une victime facile. Pour une personne dont la vie ou la mort importe peu.

Pour une personne juive. Pour un criminel de droit commun. Pour une personne déficiente.

Luttez et couvrez vos traces.

Par-dessus tout, je crains de me retrouver dans un pays où la sécurité informatique devienne de la sécurité physique.

Lisez cet article, puis apprenez à chiffrer vos communications et à développer et utiliser vos compétences pour apprendre à vous défendre, vous et vos proches. https://blogs.mediapart.fr/johanna-simeant/blog/060118/demolition

@bobstechsite Talking from a Windows system it looks fairly decent, but I'll install Fedora with KDE and on my hardware (an Intel Centrino CPU and 2GB of RAM) and I'll see if the whole system freezes so often. (not sure if my English is correct)

@bobstechsite I didn't know Mandriva. Now it's Mageia and I've always considered this distro as a terrible distro.

The problem with Elementary OS is that it's heavy on ressources but why not. I've tested KDE for a week the last month (before I gave back the computer I was using) and I haven't seen any bug so maybe could you try it out.

@bobstechsite I believe Fedora to be the best foolproof distro as it has .rpm and .deb packages, even if RHEL 7 is garbage for a webserver; but I haven't been using Ubuntu since 2014.

But Elementary OS to introduce people to GNU/Linux? 🤔
