If a person considers it ”spam,” that is all the reason they need.

I couldn’t resist…

My Recipe Box is used by a few in my family.

No account or internet connection needed and app for Android and ios.

Does this mean I am unable to use mint cinnamon or does this link show how to install for mint cinnamon?

Apologies for my confusion. I am still learning the basics and appreciate the help.

Proton vpn. It was a command line installation. After reading further about it, it does not work with cinnamon.

If you want to install additional software: If you come from Windows, you might be familiar with visiting websites of software then downloading a setup.exe/msi from there. That's NOT how you install software on Linux. On Linux, you first look if there's a package available for your distribution

This is where I have gotten lost. Trying to install my vpn.

My vpn does not work with cinnamon apparently, and I did not want to use the app in the software manager that is not even associated in any way with the actual vpn provider.

I am going to check out the forums next. (This is why having a techy person you know would be helpful!)

If companies can't protect the information they collect now, (a large portion of it gathered without consent), how are they going to protect even more information; and where can I opt out?....smh

If they did not collect any information, they would not have any information to give when they are served a subpoena.

I would happily pay to download Firefox if they removed telemetry, ads, analytics. Security updates could be free, feature updates could have a small fee. Something similar.

There is a way to fund Firefox without user data and ads. Will it be as profitable, who knows, because quite simply, the vast majority do not want to make it a reality and loose what profit, control, or power they currently hold onto.
