Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.

Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.

Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.

Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I’m a proud Proton user, some games just won’t work, like Valorant and PUBG).

Snapper also uses btrfs subvolumes to create snapshots, so if you did create them during your installation process, nothing to worry about.

I don’t remember if there is a way to create them after the installation, neither if it’s a tough process tho. I used to simply reinstall when I messed up with the subvolumes.

I’m currently using qBittorrent in “mixed mode” (clearnet + i2p), and honestly it’s amazing, even though there’s no current DHT implementation for i2p. Sure, you have to configure your client to automatically add the i2p trackers and everything, but it’s a huge step forward IMO.

I’ve also tested how one could “transfer” clearnet torrents to i2p and it went pretty well, even though you have to modify the original .torrent file to be accepted in some i2p trackers (I used postman tracker to test it, and they only accept torrents which all announce URLs are within i2p).

In general, I’ve found qBittorrent’s implementation pretty stable and suitable for day-to-day use, even though it lacks some features.

It’s not enabled in the 4.6 beta version, I think they’ll keep it that way

If by flagship instance you mean .ml, they drove people off because of the Reddit migration. They couldn’t afford to upgrade their infrastructure, so they told people to register in other instances.

No problem bro, most people here don’t know that because it lasted for about 4 days or so. Our first president liked our flag and national anthem from the imperial era, so he said it was bullshit to change them. That’s why this “Republic of the United States of Brazil” didn’t catch on (thankfully), and got forgotten.

Yes, we used to be.

In the English-speaking world, there is no American continent.

I didn’t know that, thanks.

Nobody should tell a people what they are allowed to call themselves in their own language

Look man, I’m not american and I didn’t ask the question to create some debate about the ethics or whatsoever. I just wanted to know if there was a specific word for that.

First off, this wasn’t supposed to be an argument, just a question. My native language has a specific word for them (and some other languages have too) and I got curious if english itself had such a thing.

Latin America people got pissed off

Maybe it’s because people say “America” and everybody instantly thinks of the USA, even though you’re just another country in the whole continent? For these people you are stealing the word “american” and changing its meaning. People from Asia have the word “asian”, people in Europe got “european”, people in Africa got “african”, but we? We don’t have a meaningful word anymore. And I’m not saying it’s your fault or even it’s a fault of your founding fathers. I’m just trying to tell you why these people get mad.

So, basically every language has a specific word for US citizens, except english? LOL

AFAIK, the word “gringo” is used by latinos to refer to anyone from other countries, not specifically US citizens. But yeah, definitely gringo

First off, thank you for your great response.

And yeah, I kinda get that “United States” is just a title, but in my native language (portuguese) we have a specific word for americans: “estadunidense”, which basically means “person born in the USA”

I was just wondering if there was a similar word in english that could be used specifically to these people, just like we have in portuguese. But again, thanks for your answer.

Also, fun fact: Brazil was actually called “United States of Brazil” for a short period, and our flag looked like a copy of yours, but in yellow and green. But then our king (thankfully) decided to go just by “Brazil”

Yeah, sure. Totally different from having backdoors to the NSA or collecting massive amounts of personal data for targeted ads.

EDIT: You can’t trust ANY company if your concern is privacy; your data is just too profitable (for them) to sit there untouched.

I’d love to see PeerTube grow just like these platforms, but I think it’s a lot more complicated to get people to use it than mastodon/lemmy.

Twitter/Reddit weren’t used as a major income source like YouTube and Instagram (I am saying this based on famous people in my country, I don’t know how it goes on other places), and so are easier to replace. The people posting and discussing topics don’t do that for the money, they do because they like it.

YT and its monetization system made possible for people to make a living from the content they produce, and many wouldn’t like or simply couldn’t sacrifice this income source just to go to a more ethical and private platform like PeerTube.

Genuine question: what’s the real problem? As a non-american, I can’t get it.

I mean, it’s not like they’re smuggling these chips to China, but doing a legitimate acquisition. Don’t want them to get access to U.S. tech? Simply don’t sell it to any other country that buys/sells to China, since they could trade or resell those chips to them. Also, AFAIK most international trades are done using U.S. dollars, so limiting U.S. companies from trading won’t solve the problem.
