Linux is a bad attemot at copying UNIX. BSD comes from the orginal UNIX of the 70’s. BSD was a summary of the patches, fixes, and other developents that was applied to the Unix codebase and then after the lawsuit took the original UNIX patches and started BSD 4.4-lite

You stuck in the cult of Linux and projecting your mentality onto other things without deciphering each on their technical marits. You look at all software in Linux terminology rather than making a distinction to articulate correct phrasing in a cohesive manner.

Wrong, guess again. Read the websites.

BSD is FOSS, unless you are an idealogue.

BSD does not have distributions, those don’t exist.

In that specific area, that’s where compared to each BSD operating system, Linux will forever be trash garbage.

I do not use the native YouTube website. I do not have a Google/Gmail account. I do not use chromium, Chrome, or Edge, or Brave. I disable webscrpts and manually temporarily enable them as needed with all webscripts disabled again after Ivclose the browser. I don’t use nathive Android or iPhone. I have all 3rd party scripts and cookies blocked by default.

I never interact with any Google tracking or Google service on any of my electronic devices. I do not use Google search. Whatever happens with Google I will not see since I do not access anything Google on a monthly basis.

And how much power does Google have to force that on websites that reject it and users who use Lbrewolf or IceCat?

You sound like you are parroting and self-aggrandizing or contrived.

Nothing you said answers my post.

How can YouTube interfer with adblockers in Firefox/Librewolf/IceCat?

Wether it’s due to server or client, Proton is not option.

There are free Telegram clients, there is no way I will ever register with Telegram service.

I am extra harsh of Proton because I reject the concept of proprietary security. They trumpet privacy and security but tell people to trust them for secuity, they can’t release server code, but they want everybody to trust that their servers don’t have a back up of account info like keys or backup access to account.

I don’t use Signal for the same reason, only Molly, and I refuse to install Signal on computer.

I said native F-Droid repsitory. I also said with zero anti-features.

In F-Droid settings, under Include anti-feature apps, unselect all or turn off all options, turn off other repositories like Izzy, then do a regular app search for Proton, there is nothing available in F-Droid

When Proton has a single app available on native F-Droid wirh zero anti-features, not from a different repository,conly then will I use their services. I don’t use anything from them now. No Protonmail, no VPN, I don’t use them.

How are people surprised? How is this news?

The second you mentioned Google you’re talking about an all-seeing totalitarian state. Nothing you said about imbedding tracking links in docs is surprised. As a corporation they are always developing new ways to pimp you out and make you turn tricks for Google without you knowing while they keep all of the pay from your actiities.

Google tries to turn every human on the planent into their personal money making whore.

First choice is always talk on SimpleX, second is Signal/Molly for something easier, there is no other app that I use.

Did you run a progran to proactive zero out and wipe the whole drive like Parted Magic and then reboot system to load Windows boot media or did you use the Windows installer to only delete the partitions and install Windows again but not actively wipe the drive first?

For 10, unplug ethernet or do not connect to wi-fi and it should all you to continue or allow you to skip creating an MS account.

On the one system I use for gaming, before I install 10 which I have done a few times, I shutdown computer, physically unplug ethernet cable, then turn on computer and start the installation process, and I’ve created a local account everytime. Do not plug in cable or connect online until Windows has rebooted to the start desktop with Start menu. If you connect during installation it could force you to create online account.

Pay for an online number, there’s one time phone number websites you can use, but services are getting better at detecting if it’s a real cell number and block VoIP numbers.

It’s good to be leary to give your number to a business or service for privacy, but there’s no valid reason to obsess about individuals getting you number on a social level, you’re not important enough for other individuals to start bothering you simply because they got your number. I have a business card I give out with my personal number. However it also means you can’t use plain texting because other apps on the the other person’s device will see from your text message that this is a live number to track and spam.

There’s an addendum, it depends on how Android is used. If a person gets everything from Play Store which means they logged in to a Google account, Android is disgusting compared to iPhone.

However if a person disables the various Google services and sideloads all of the apps, then yes, Android is superior to iPhone for privacy.

No, it will never be used anywhere in any business.

Everything GNU and FSF does is driven by ideology, and there’s billions of dollars that will will make sure businesses never use or accept anonymous payment services of any kind of those businesses don’t want to be charged with money laundry and all properties confiscated.

But only if they use payment services that are not part of the banking networks with verified account names.
