I remember my uncle using Firefox, so I thought people heard about Firefox if they at least send emails. As for Linux. I thought like 40% of people at least heard of it without knowing what it is.

They are the only VPN company with a clean record but personally only VPN I would trust is onion, garlic etc. kind of networks.

Entirely: yes, I was given a good start by school, games, and programming but I really wanted to finish bleach. I ran out of my native language dubbing, so I watched with subtitles english dubbing, then just japanese dubbing with English subtitles, and I wanted to finish it leaving me with only manga in English. This again happened with Honzuki no Gekokujo and I just kept on reading and reading and reading to this day. I remember often using a dictionary on my phone during that time. Passion is the strongest force for learning, though my vocal skills stagnated until I made international online friends

Proprietary software is fine (if sandboxed)

Buh

Don't be silly. Or you know what? Be sillier :3

I did not even notice that I have not talked today with a man..

I would count both of those more to authoritarianism

I switched from Mint to CachyOS also as a developer. As I do a lot of piracy I depend on Bottles and flatpak to play pirated games a bit more securely. When flatpak had an issue a few months back with signing their programs bottles didn't work properly as I had different versions of Nvidia drivers. Up to date native and almost up to date flatpak. I am not sure how others distros handled this, but be prepared that updates might break something. Study a bit about AUR if you decide to go there and try out Cachy for a bit before fully switching on a spare disk or something. I wanted to run a local LLM and virtualbox but I had problems with that likely due to my kernel???? So I am not sure how well it works with docker. All in all, try it out and expect a slight increase in difficulty.

is that the reason why this has negative "karma"?

We already are. I admit that I know very little about the topic, but are we not reliant on animal cruelty for: insulin, antivenom, spider silk, and many more where alternatives would be expensive or even non existent? Though I do agree in this case with HRT, because I love injections and I find them relatively cheap. Feel encouraged to correct me.
