I have three browsers (all Firefox-based): 1) Javascript OFF; 2) LibreJS and JShelter addons; 3) Default. Ans this is the priority when accessing websites.

on I changed my license · c/linux · 3 pts · 2d

First time hearing about this license. This is free, too. So good job for changing it!

Agree, a 100% free distro should be the default in schools. And free programs. No proprietary app should exist on computers.

If you want a Free Software Foundation recommend distro, I would say Trisquel or PureOS (if you don't need wi-fi). Or Linux Mint. Or Debian with Mate or Cinnamon desktop environment.

I guess so. But you will see more extremists for proprietary to free software. And it's federated like email. So, for example, even if you have see a Proton extremist, it's not a big deal, you can use another provider and still talk to him. Same for Fediverse.

Of course. Mac OS users will tell that you are so poor/stingy to buy an Apple computer, and Windows users to buy a Windows license. I left Windows, Reddit, X and Whatsapp 3 years ago. Switched to GNU/Linux, Lemmy, Mastodon and Signal/XMPP/SimpleX/DeltaChat. Best tech decisions I made. I hope more people will join Free/Federated technology. :-)

People have strange and strong brand loyalty for proprietary things. It's like a culture for them. I have seen it especially on iPhone and Whatsapp. Not only they refuse to use alternatives (Android; RCS/Signal/XMPP etc.). They will think you are a loser if you don't use them. Or, even worse, will try to convince you to use them and that those are the best and anything else is a shit. I believe it's the same for social media. So good luck!

Always pay cash. I heard it's a trend in Sweden to pay with card or Swish, but don't do it.
