The only real free speech instance is if you all go out on a boat together to international waters

Obviously though there's something in particular that you want to see that you aren't able to.

It might help to imagine it as if it were a different product. Imagine if you went into a shop to buy a computer and there were thousands of different computers for sale. Some of them made by actual people and some made by AI. The shop doesn't test these computers so you might buy one that doesn't work, or is missing a vital component, or is just a case full of sand. Each one has reviews but they're all rated 5 stars with AI generated review text. What do you buy?

You get stranded on an alien planet and in the process of trying to get home you get distracted with destroying the planets resources and native population

Hyphen - dash — I think, it could be the other way around

Google sometimes throws a captcha at me because it finds my activities “suspicious”.

To be fair, google does that to me too and I use chrome

I don't think that's what happened to the author. Cloudflare generally doesn't leave you on that page if it detects a suspicious browser. Plus, how is cloudflare supposed to use your corporate VPN and your certificate to verify your identity? They don't have an omnipotent view of all corporate VPNs that exist. The check that cloudflare does on that page is pretty javascript heavy and I assume it was just temporarily broken in Firefox. Which is an issue in itsself, but it's not the massive deal that the author makes out.

Yeah, I was using nvidia graphics so a lot of my issues were definitely caused by that.

This was earlier this year. Last time I tried it before that was in 2013 and I had heard that Linux had advanced a lot since then so was hopeful for giving it a try. I think you're right to a degree that I don't have as many issues with Windows because I know how to fix most issues there. However, one of the first issues I ran into on Linux was trying to increase the scroll speed on my mouse and searching showed me the only solution was a 3rd party program that listens for scroll events and just doubles them up which was far from ideal.

But if you disabled the history and they still had recommendations then they were still storing your history in some capacity. Now they're probably not doing that.

Earlier this year. I was using a thinkpad x1 carbon laptop, supposedly a good laptop for that but still had problems. I was using an nvidia gpu, granted and one of my issue was related to WiFi
