Is it safe to flash latest UEFI or does it have to be updated incrementally 1 at a time, or every second release, etc?

What is the best method for paste for Noctua air cooler? Do I put 5 tiny dots? Do I do an X pattern? Which one?

Until any kind of crypto, whether it's bitcoin or something else, can be used to pay for groceries, electronics, furniture, cars, clothing, a house, all in crypto it will forever remain irrelevent.

The Marxist philosophy is not solely and strictly pertaining to workers. There is a Marxist culture, living with a Marxist mindset or mentality, and living with a Marxist view of the world or trying to get the world to fall into a Marxist view and setting up society in a Marxist way.

You used the philosophy and objective of Marxism to say that the GPL is not Marxist.

Thevright to repair thing is wholly distnct from software. Right to reapir is for a physical hardware product. People bought something they can touch, they have full rights to repair it, otherwise people are only paying to use it but never fully own it out right.

Libre software is not better than proprietary software. I only care about open source software for the sake of security so I can do whatever I want with the code, I reject libre software like GPLv3 and stick to open source.

If you know the difference between a cracker and a hacker, I always got love for hackers. It's the crackers that cause so much misery. I'm a big fan if hackathons, as long as the discussions center around hacking and not get into personal digs.

I've noticed a trend that it seems to be end users that don't have a clue about computer science and software engineering from a programming perspective that got more stuck on licenses than the actual developers and hackers. I even believe there are wonderful devs and engineers at Microsoft, nVidia, and Google, who wod be happy to give away their code if there wasn't the stockholder reigning supreme over corporate management.

Until you learn code correctness, you can't understand the areas where Linux has horrible designing or programming. There's a reason why the top talent at Def Con completely gave up on trying to get into a default OpenBSD installation.

Pay for an online number, there's one time phone number websites you can use, but services are getting better at detecting if it's a real cell number and block VoIP numbers.

It's good to be leary to give your number to a business or service for privacy, but there's no valid reason to obsess about individuals getting you number on a social level, you're not important enough for other individuals to start bothering you simply because they got your number. I have a business card I give out with my personal number. However it also means you can't use plain texting because other apps on the the other person's device will see from your text message that this is a live number to track and spam.

If you actively try to avoid software that is licensed under BSD or ISC, only Gnu's Marxist license, then that means you won't use OpenSSH or the security tools ported over from OpenBSD into both Linux and Android and will not use an operating system or programs that have been compiled with LLVM/Clang.

I prioritize system security, and for that I only care about open source and reject free/libre software due to all of its built-in political implications. But also defend the right for people to make proprietary software. I won't use it, but defend people's right to make it.

People must give up how they want the world to operate and deal with what is. For example, FSF is wholly incompatible with BSD and the 2 distinct cultures and views can never work together. They are both open source, but that's where the commonality ends.

It sounds like you have an idol worship for GNU with zero experience of UNIX/BSD culture in that they only care about code that works and not anybody's opinion.

That is where OpenBSD developerd sticks so hard to BSD and ISC licenses with a preference for ISC license because they don't care what other people do, they develop for themselves, and if people don't like the way it functons, don't use it, problem solved.

The problem with GNU/FSF people is they are excessively wrapper in what other people do through politicing and not enough time fixing their own code. Once GNU people develops an operating system in similar fashion to how each BSD are each their own complete operating system, then they can give their opinions. Until then, they should go away, stop with the software politics, and care a lot more about their own code.

Chromium is not an option and it never will be an option.

If you want to be strict about privacy, in F-Droid turn off all anti-features and you'll see there is no version of Firefox available to install. You have to make compromises if yo want to install any off-shoot of Firefox.

It seems like a very helpful service. I don't use cell data which means no GPS to contribute to it. I only use apps through wi-fi exclusively.

No, it will never be used anywhere in any business.

Everything GNU and FSF does is driven by ideology, and there's billions of dollars that will will make sure businesses never use or accept anonymous payment services of any kind of those businesses don't want to be charged with money laundry and all properties confiscated.

But only if they use payment services that are not part of the banking networks with verified account names.
