Use one of the few Invidious instances that still exist while that’s still an option, although I have a bad feeling this sorta thing is screwing with Invidious too because I’ve had a few streams corrupt when skipping through the vid before.

Grayjay is also an option, while it’s still an option.

Bazzite has newer drivers, ditto for CachyOS Handheld Edition for another SteamOS clone.

If possible, maybe get a separate machine to throw Windows on and then keep your personal rig on Linux?

That and I was talking more about infrastructure where you could easily walk to places too instead of having to drive everywhere

Fuck this, I’d rather see less of this and more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Stroads in particular are one of man’s worst inventions IMO.

GIMP and Krita are aimed at Photoshop, while RawTherapee and Darktable are aimed at Lightroom, and Inkscape is aimed at Illustrator.

Good luck. Take away the main reason people move off Windows to begin with and see how well that goes, especially for alt-init distros.

ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, is genuinely decentralized, and ActivityPub itself is ran by W3C, an international standards organization, while Mastodon is ran by a nonprofit, meanwhile both Bsky and ATproto are ran by a private corporation, ATproto is still semi-centralized, and since ATproto is ran by a private corporation, assuming the VC money runs out and Bsky corporate needs to start to profit somehow to stay afloat, there’s nothing stopping them from closed-sourcing ATproto (as rugpulling of this sort is legal in permissive licenses like what ATproto is licensed under) and starting to either push ads in it, paywall certain features of it, or both, for example.

Blacksky actually managed to completely split itself off from Bsky corporate infrastructure, but what if Bsky corporate gets hostile against that?

Or even PeerSuite for that matter, moreso if a PeerSuite session is additionally ran through an anonymous protocol like I2P, assuming that’s possible. I mean, PeerSuite doesn’t require an account, doesn’t use servers, talks through encrypted WebRTC channels, and doesn’t leave a paper trail by default, coordinating protests is a perfect use case for it because people could start up a session to plan said protest, and then close the session without a trace when they’re done.
