Disappointing tgat we arent when you put it that way

I can't work out if this is well intentioned ignorance or trolling, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and a serious answer.

The first point is there are a huge number of threats to privacy and your online and data security from connecting to the internet even in western countries.

VPNs are not just for protection from govt abuse, in fact their efficacy there is far lower than for several other use cases.

If you're in the US (for example) and with one of the biggest ISPs then every DNS request being made is (was anyway, I assume still is) logged and your internet usage is then sold off to data brokers to profile you.

So yeah, dont trust your ISP, and if you're dealing with a VPN that wants all that info then find a better one (proton or mullvad for exampke, you can pay with monero or bitcoin or even cash by snail mail)

It worked for on firefox for android (zoom the pic).

It's possible I had previously changed some stock settings which allows it though.

Damn, that's disappointing at a quick scan. Will read in properly and fact check later. Thanks.

Got any stats on coal increasing to share ? Last I saw they were decomming significant quantities of coal stations

They have also been installing solar powerplants at a lightning rate. They installed more solar in 2023 than the US has in total according to an article I read a few months ago.

It's not about saving the planet though, they import the bulk of their fossil fuels, moving to renewables reduces their fuel import dependency

Confused. Which community do you mean the NYTimes, become-me, or shitjustworks ?

I have considerably more characters than 6 at lloyds

Try Mint or popOS. Ubuntu is getting very microsofty themselves

GUI is primary, a few clicks in the same app that you do your normal day to day updates in when a major release comes out.

There is a command line version but the gui is a doddle, and there's no driving reason to use the CLI - it's a distro aimed at beginners

No. Both day to day patches and major upgrades are done through the update manager app

Mint & popOS are both Debian tree distros and Ubuntu derivatives without the snap cruft.

They work fine for gaming in my experience as any linux native game is always tested against ubuntu and I've had no issues with Steam/proton for windows games.

No EAC anti cheat compatability for Linux of any flavour of course.
