It’s not extra. That’s the price for Mullvad (5.90, not 5). Why anyone would choose to use the Mozilla brand instead of going directly via Mullvad escapes any logic that I can understand, other than that, yeah, same price. Specially since you are correct to say they charge more for the branding alone, at 8.25 per month, which is ridiculous.

Why, because you can get the normies VPNs for 1 dollar per month or so? How do you think they make up for those low prices? Take a wild guess.

Yup, I still keep mine, and have barely used it in the last 2 years. I moved to self-hosted git the moment I heard MicroShit was buying it.

That’s bullshit. You’re the same, if not worse, than the UK.

Yeah, surprising right? Right?

When I read “floorp” my mind immediately went to a mopping robot vacuum 🤣

This is the way. I this case they get to “feel” those other options themselves, and even if you are the one that put that seed in their head, they are the ones making that final decision based on their own needs, capabilities and preferences.

Lol, I find it so funny that people actually believe they are doing damage by down voting. I still think the way I do, and it’s why I don’t use anything mainstream at all.

Fedora for work, Fedora on my laptop, a ProxMox server with 20TB of space to hold everything I want.

Add to that the awesome blessing of living where most people go only on expensive vacations, own my business with my wife, and get to enjoy beach, pool, large backyard with 3 dogs and own my time.

How can I do all this? Easy, I get to control my time, my money, my data and my life.

Like you say, losers scrolling mindlessly in social networks seeing what the corps want them to see, getting controlled, and then crying like little bitches because “we need someone to do something about all this we’re addicted to” instead of growing some balls and taking control of their lives.

My kids spend all day at school, and all afternoon and weekends outside. Guess who’s kids will be tough enough when they grow up to lead the sheep.

I remember Zuckerberg himself saying that he didn’t allow his kids to use Facebook. Why people never took that as the most clear warning they would ever get is beyond me.

Yeah man, I should know. But at the end of the day, we’re better for it. This guy will be crying about not having privacy and stuff like that while doing everything in his power not to be able to get away from all those things.

Pretty similar to being hostage of a very toxic relationship. Oh well.

By the way, outside of our brawl down below, I do agree with you 100% that having a fully functional and modern Linux phone would be an amazing thing to have.

Reminds me of my drugs days. “I can control it, I use them because I want to, not because I need them. I can quit any time”. 20 years later, no house, no family, no money, and half my recommended weight. And it’s the same for every addiction. The only way to get rid of a problem is by first accepting there is a problem. Changing pushers never made it better, just saying.

It is, very.

That’s your best answer? “No problems we’re solved because I said so”? 🤣🤣🤣

No wonder you sound so angry here, lol.

It’s a pub. I think there should be no questions 🤣

He did solve a problem, his problem. What’s the deal with thinking everything that applies to you applies to others?

At the very least they should allow you to get them all back, I’m not talking about allowing to store more.

I may be extra paranoid, but I’m almost certain that, even if they delete it from your folders (I don’t think they do, at least not Right away), they still keep it for maintaining a profile of each person. As for the ransomware, yeah, if you don’t pay them, you’re likely to lose access. That’s the definition of ransom, no?

Leave your data synchronizing with their cloud, pass the limit, miss 1 payment and see how that goes for you when you try to get your data. Good luck.

Yeah, I get it. I’m a tinkerer, so I enjoy checking what’s new out there, which leads me to distro hop every 3 to 6 months (only to end up right back on Fedora or Bazzite 😜), plus o don’t have a drop of art in my blood, so my use cases are pretty common.

If I was in your shoes, I’d probably just stay there until I’m comfortable with the software I need for what I do, and once I am, then I’d look into other distros that can run the same software flawlessly and try some until I find what I want.

You’re on the right path. Enjoy freedom.

Anything that you are currently using in Ubuntu Studio you can also get in any other distro.

Having said that, if you feel comfortable with Ubuntu Studio, just stick to it, learn to troubleshoot it’s issues, and you’ll be just fine.

That’s one of the beauties of the Linux world, choice!
