If nobody told you it was Linux, you wouldn’t know. If boots straight into Steam. It’s as easy as using a Nintendo Switch.

But you can enter desktop mode to get a Plasma desktop, and you have root access, so if you know what you’re doing it’s a great Linux machine.

We literally have a global rise in violent fascism and multiple ongoing genocides, and TikTok is the worst thing you can think of?

No shit the VPN requires an open port, I never said otherwise, but if your router is the one running the server, you aren’t forwarding the port. The router itself is listening on its WAN interface.

The VPN prevents you from having to forward any ports, because the router allows you to tunnel in. The only open port will be whatever port the VPN server listens on, and it isn’t a forwarded port.

Because people use Twitch on Linux with a VPN? This seems kinda obvious…

going from a public device to a device in a protected network

You mean the literal function of a VPN?

A VPN eliminates the need for port forwarding.

Edit: Not talking about a “privacy VPN”, but an actual VPN that lives up to the name “Virtual Private Network”, where you are connecting to the private network you wish to access.

The Luddites lost, but you should read the rest of this wiki article to learn how that happened, and consider again which side you’re on.

Yeah, I mean nobody uses SIP as an open protocol with email-like addresses. You could call me with an unregistered softphone. It would have been way cooler if I had any use for it outside of like two other nerd friends of mine who run personal Asterisk servers.

Boards of Canada is a very popular IDM artist, and they’re the third result down from the top.

I used to have an open public SIP address that would ring a home phone, complete with a retro answering machine, but nobody uses SIP…

instead

I’d rather they do both.

This is how it should be, but it isn’t the present day reality. Productivity goes up, wages go down, and the rich get richer. We’re headed straight for technofeudalism buddy…

I hate Siri, but you can do a “Hey Siri, whose phone is this?” and it will force PIN unlock. Great if you aren’t able to physically touch the phone.

The original Luddite movement was literally a worker’s rights movement, and the “irrationally afraid of technology” characterization was manufactured by the ruling class, so yes. The Luddites were right then and they’re right now too.

The NSA violates the laws of the US. What makes you think they care about other countries’ laws?

Good thing that all of the giant monolithic internet companies that the NSA will be using for surveillance are used exclusively by Americans. The NSA isn’t interested in foreign intel anyway. /s

Other distros exist to teach people that Debian is better.

Then give it to them. Address books, physical and digital, are nothing new.

Some of us don’t want just anyone with something to say showing up in our inboxes.

Minecraft is pretty fun, especially if you’re new to gaming. Lots of different ways to play.

And Minetest is a great FOSS clone.

Realistically, Debian, because it existed when the movie was set.
