I just last month tried out Bazzite for fun and haven’t switched back. I feel like an idiot for sticking with Windows as long as I did. I was the metaphorical frog in the pot of water not realizing how shitty it had become. I guess I should be grateful there isn’t any program I need that’s Windows only because Bazzite is better than Windows in every way I can think of.
my question is, does it really matter doing all of that before deleting when it comes to privacy?
It doesn’t hurt to be thorough but FWIW they say it will be deleted:
What happens if I permanently delete my Facebook account?
Your profile, photos, posts, videos, and everything else you’ve added will be permanently deleted. You won’t be able to retrieve anything you’ve added.
If you’re only watching subscriptions and not scrolling the generated feeds, you could presumably run tubearchivist through a VPN and then watch via Jellyfin or Plex (there are plugins).
It will not only be private but it has sponsorblock.
how can i live peacfully knowing that i can be suspected of anything just because i made a joke here or said something there?
You’ve never been able to say things publicly (or, since the internet, publish something that the entire world can read) and expect to be shielded from the consequences. There is always a risk that comes with speaking freely, especially if powerful people perceive your words as a challenge to their power.
The erosion of privacy protections is a reason to despair, but it is also a reason to speak more.
Is this thing as sketchy as it seems?
Sam Altman and Andreessen Horowitz involvement should be all you need to know. But the reality is probably less dystopian than some people make it out to be. World to me just seems to be Altman trying to sell a solution to the problem that he’s trying to create with OpenAI (chatbots that are indistinguishable from humans).
Not sure if you are looking for blogs but I this guy is a good writer: https://rys.io/en/index.html
Thanks, I’m still learning but so far there hasn’t been any application I need that there isn’t some equivalent of.
