I didn't recognize the DKK acronym and thought it was a cryptocurrency for a second.

Why not start today, man? It's good to practice.

It's like governments representing succeeding states of long dead countries that were in a war centuries or millennia ago coming together to shake hands and take pictures.

His crypto scheme was already raising eyebrows. When OpenAI board attempted a coup and he clawed back to his seat, it seemed like he had gained complete control over the place.

Opening the command prompt in windows is considered 'hacking' these days. Using Ubuntu is a big leap.

It will major corporate and legislative backing to even attempt one. For many end users the desktop pc, if they ever have one, is yet another techie stuff they don't want to bother themselves with. You don't simply get them to install a new program, let alone an entirely new operating system. Some do make the leap, however.

It creeped me how many youtube channels I watched suddenly started pushing it.

Cries in corporate systems, balls deep in Microsoft ecosystem.

All my personal devices are running Linux however.

I never liked the normalization of sharing real names online. I always received weird looks for not doing this. The furthest I could do was using an initial.

Librewolf has AppImage on their webpage, too. Does it not fit your use case?

I assume there are more issues preventing them from simply relocating to another hosting?

It's both a generational shift and education issue.

I grew up remembering the early days of going online. The only pc at home was shared by family, so I knew early on that covering my tracks (erasing browser history) was important. When Chrome came out and incognito mode became a thing, I instinctively knew that it was just a shortcut for a separate browser profile that does not share the main profiles cookies and history, that it didn't store activities on the local device. I knew that internet providers could still know what I acceded, and so on.

I can't ask for the same kind of awareness for people that grew up with smartphones, proprietary walled gardens and apps with most of the complexities hidden beneath pretty UI.

It's even worse when it comes to the general population - this isn't the 90s where college students and tech minded people made up the internet users, this isn't the early 2000s where people still had to use a desktop PC to access the web, with its components more or less open to tinker.
