Which is why the easiest thing to do is just have the discussions. If someone wants to act as if they’re just a regular person bringing up crime statistics about black people or something, just engage in good faith and present your counter. If they’re genuine, you’ve provided a genuine response, if they’re not, you’re still winning because their goal is to either prove you can’t ask certain questions or that people are hiding from the truth. Also, you automatically get an opportunity to influence any 3rd parties simply reading the exchange.
Depends on what you mean for security/privacy. You can use Tails or whatever and have everything encrypted and then just be logging into your Facebook account on Chrome without an ad blocker.
Most Linux distros are secure enough for the average person who isn’t being targeted by some crazy state level actor. If you’re particularly concerned stick with a distro that has a security team like Debian. As for privacy that has more to do with the sites you browse and have accounts with but obviously avoid Google (I just use Firefox instead of Chrome) use an adblocker like ublock origin, along with maybe something like decentraleyes.
I think it’s one thing if the pharmacist just quietly handed off the task of providing the prescription to someone else who was there to keep things moving, but what seems like the attempt to deliberately obstruct was well over the line.
Shitty, but it’s not like NVidia didn’t do more and worse.
I’d prefer it if AMD wasn’t doing this shit, but I’ll probably be sticking with them as long as their providing a quality Linux experience.
