    Has anyone tried Riseup VPN?

    Jump

  • It's a pairing of the old batch of free ones being garbage and the addage "If it's free, you're the product". Running a VPN at scale isn't a cheap affair so you should ask where they're making the money. Are they a proven no-logs VPN or are you operating under a 'Trust me bro'?

  • I've never understood and always despised that empty Nobody. It literally adds nothing other than making me hit the downvote no matter how good the rest of the meme is.

  • To be fair, 'I wouldn't be surprised if...' isn't a testimony or claiming something happened, it's voicing a level of disillusionment with something, nothing but opinion.

  • They were leeches without the torrenting.

  • We'll see. Game development still generally has a lot of advancements it has yet to leverage so I'm comfortable with the choice I've made. I know about the tools to gut regular Windows but I assessed it would take me more effort to weed through than start with bare bones and add what little I wanted in. I've also tended to find every feature and minor update has inevitably messed with an object that is supposed to belong to me so I'm all aboard for not having to deal with that as often thanks to the long-term strategy of LTSC.

    I have to agree, I can't say I like or want to use Windows but my experiences of random, unexplainable glitches, numerous hours of forum spelunking and the ever-present arrogant smarminess of a sizeable portion of the Linux userbase tell me which flavor of pain I prefer.

  • LTSC is extremely feasible for gaming and productivity. As Codilingus already said, you can get the ISO and activation from MASSGRAVE's site.

    Depending on your requirements, you'll probably quickly figure out you need MS Store for one thing or another (the inconvenience of having pretty much everything removed) so you'll need a tool like this to install the store and, you can use Chris Titus' Wintool to turn off the spyware. It also has a program downloader built in with a long list of useful software to help speed up your initial setup process.

  • There's a lot of bloat in the commercial versions of Windows, both 10 and 11. It's easy to install the MS store on LTSC and for those who don't need/want the features, the bloat is entirely pointless.

  • That's not what was asked.

  • New PC build -- which version of Windows 11? LTSC, IoT, ??

    Jump

  • MS Store can be installed on LTSC quite easily so it's very possible to still have the bloat-free version.

  • This isn't a one-size-fits-all solution though. OP has asked specifically for information regarding Windows and even specifically mentions Linux in the post so it's fair to say they're aware of it and choose to stay on Windows.

  • Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering?

    Jump

  • Precisely. And I'd argue that secondhand smoke and its effects already applies as not caring about others or the general environment.

  • Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering?

    Jump

  • Because it generally takes a certain type of person to smoke and there happens to be quite a lot of overlap with the type of person who's fine with littering.

  • Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?

    Jump

  • Understandable and it's there that things get blurry. I don't think anyone can argue that Amazon's bottom line is Bezos but on paper Bezos doesn’t have any money because all of his monetary value is tied up in assets. A person with that much money simply ties everything to their company and suddenly they're corporate assets instead of personal belongings, thus tax deductible (imagine the Spongebob rainbow meme here) along with the plethora of other advantages these people get just for being wealthy. Heck, this doesn't even apply to only the insanely wealthy. With a smart accountant, it's applicable to business owners.

    Some years ago I worked for a small company where the owner would declare all of his purchases as business assets. Some of those items would become "loss leaders" and simply "disappear" while others would get "rented" to himself at a "generous discount" until he chose to sell it. I got to learn just how perfectly legal it all was the hard way because by the time I was done at the company, I was looking for the biggest bus I could throw him under and it turned out there weren't any. Made me want to puke.
