Does DDG still have the same upward trend that they used to before Brave caught on?

Why you said makes me think the number of votes is wholly irrelevent.

What is interesting or helpful is entirely subjective, it’s personal opinion. What is considered misinformation is entirely subjective. That makes me believe the voting count on a post means nothing for indicating the quality.

Considering how any majority of people typically react emotionally rather than have humility and respond with consistant logic, it seems personal opinion on a mass scale is an unreliable gage for quality of material.

If AMD wanted to get real serious real fast about rapidly improving drivers, could releasing Radeon driver source code under AGPLv3 help get mass development and fixes for drivers, while at the same time due to the license make the code untouchable for nVidia?

If Proton cared about privacy for VPN for clients, they would remove the login requirement and make ProtonVPN an anonymous services.

If there are concerns about abuse for the network, that’s way the login, how could they figure that out without seeing people’s traffic.

I use RiseupVPN and CalyxVPN for being open source and anonymous.

Until ProtonVPN removes login in their free client, it is not an option.

FreeTube, Invidious, or Rumble.

I’ve looked at Delta chat and have wondered if it’s worth it. I only use webmail on computer for all of my emails because I need the screen real estate, zero email on phone. Phone is only calling and messaging.

Should I give Delta chat a try for doing long form emails including documents?

If I understand you correctly, I agree with you.

My point is I really like SimpleX for it’s arandom anonimity, and I prefer SimpleX, but if someone wants to use Molly/Signal, then I can happily talk to them on there for messaging and call.

I won’t use anything else for messaging, those 2 are all I need.

Not on the same level as SimpleX. With Briar and Session you have you have the same ID for everybody.

For SimpleX you can create a new random ID with each contact, so if you talk with 8 people, SimpleX will create 8 random ID’s and each contact will see you as someone different than how the other contacts see you.

For your hardware setup, I would suggest prioritizing good nVidia driver support over everything. A few distributions do not make the nVidia driver natively available for installation. I expect your Ryzen to be natively supported with 6.1 or 6.2 kernel, but test to see who has the latest nVidia driver to install and thrn decide from there.

Debian stable is irrelevent or pointless. Only Debian testing branch is worth something.
