Would’ve been better if I downloaded Gimp instead of trying to do this in KolourPaint, but better doesn’t necessarily mean better.

Wish granted
Second-world means axis-power (Germany, Hungary, Australia, Italy, Finland, Japan, etc). It doesn’t mean something like “half-way between first-world and third-world” like Latin America or the USA.
Linux phones won’t go anywhere, so you should probably donate to GrapheneOS and hope they have enough in the bank to fork android by the time it’s completely discontinued.
In a world as overflowing with art as this, it’s worth conflating the art and the artist.
Every work of art produced by a bad person is one produced by a good (or more likely, morally ambiguous) person you don’t.
AI can’t possibly become sentient. That’s not how AI works, and that’s not how sentience works.
Don’t learn Italian as a way of learning French, just learn French. Language learning is very difficult, and the most useful language when it comes to learning French is English anyway.
I gave up on French because I couldn’t figure out the vowels (and because other languages were a priority), so it’s important to come up with a strategy for that.
The middle east doesn’t look at all kindly on it.
I’m not so sure about using a middle-eastern VPN to watch porn.
It’s illegal to recommend using a VPN or teach people how to use a VPN in order to get around these age-check laws.
No way I’d trust the government to just throw away that information.
So basically a Swiss (PrivadoVPN, ProtonVPN), American (Hotspot Shield, IPVanish), Canadian (Tunnelbear, Windscribe), British (PureVPN), or Israeli (ExpressVPN, PIA) one.
Not a lot of great options outside the EU. Canada and Britain have age verification laws, America and Israel cannot be trusted, and the Swiss government is constantly threatening to take steps against privacy.
If it weren’t for the coup, Australia would be a super-power to rival China and the US combined.
While I agree that when there’s a push for change by the left, the elite will redirect it towards the right to save themselves, I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. There isn’t an effective push for change on the left for them to fight.
The rise of Trump among young voters was driven in part by the failure of the Democrats to offer a credible alternative (same in the UK), the global rise in the far-right in general (even in countries where they have no credible path to power, like Germany or Australia) is due to the unique psychology our environment has created for this generation.
Victim mentality is on the rise, for two reasons. Firstly people are being led to believe their special and entitled to success without work, and secondly because success has become unattainable even with work.
I think this may have something to do with the rise in Nazism in capitalist countries.
Australia, Indonesia, Bolivia, Chile
(It’s hard to know which criticisms were propaganda and which were legit, so I can’t pick many that I can call my “favourite”. I’m 100% confident in Australia, mostly in Bolivia, somewhat in Chile, doubtful of Indonesia).
Two things:
I think you could still use that music software on Windows 10. I’m not sure when they’ll cut off support for outdated operating systems but I don’t think many would jump ahead of Microsoft. Windows 10 being unsupported doesn’t mean that much if the software you use is trusted and you have a disaster recovery plan.
It’s important to have a solid backup policy in place for any data you don’t want to lose. Regardless of whether you’re on Windows 11 or Windows XP. If you want to keep using Windows 10, you can. Just gotta only install trusted software and use a browser that is getting security updates for Windows 10 (so not Edge, don’t know which others will be fine). You can watch porn on it too, porn sites are only as dangerous as your browser is insecure.
Now, the question of gaming. Dual-booting into Bazzite should meet your needs (I’ve never used it) but the question is how to keep it away from Windows 10. I live booted into a system with Windows 11 installed and could easily view and modify all the contents. Any malware that gets through Steam’s and Linux’s protections could easily install ransomware and cookie-stealers on Windows 11. This is true just as much for running the games natively on Windows 11.
Seperate devices would solve the issue, but that’d be a waste. Security in computing really needs SO much work. There are so many levels to this. If your security posture is relaxed enough you can just hope no malware gets through Steam’s checks and onto Bazzite, or into any of Bazzite’s dependencies. With meltdown and spectre I’m failing to imagine how I could keep Windows 10 or 11 safe from malware from gaming beyond Steam’s protections.
TLDR: Stick to Windows 10, install trusted software only and keep backups, dual-boot Bazzite for games, hope Steam catches any game malware I guess.
Plus a plumbed toilet and air conditioning.
Because Kagi is a really good search engine, and because a search engine is the thing that it’s most important to keep ads far away from.
I’m not getting it though because it’s American, I ain’t paying a subscription to an American company.
