        And it was always clearly stated as such. It’s absurd that anyone was upset by this. I have yet to find a single user on here who did not properly understand what it was for, or at least none willing admit to being that dumb.

          You’ve yet to find a user on here, Lemmy, an obscure obfuscated fediverse that is mostly a refuge for very technical people unhappy on Reddit. Shocker.

          I haven’t even found a user on here that didn’t have a very personal opinion on Linux.

          Now try to say the same thing about Facebook.

            Very non tech savvy person here, that is just a normie reddit refugee. I know what Linux is, but have never really worked with it. Don’t have an opinion about it. I recently installed a pi hole in my home network by following step by step instructions. That’s the most techy stuff I ever did in my life and I would have never dared to try it, if I hadn’t read a comment on lemmy that linked an easy introduction into working with raspberry pis.

              Have you tried because of lemmy? Or was it something you flirted with before. Because your post do scream im secretly a technical person

                I did know of pi hole before, but had no idea how to even start to set it up. Without the instructions I wouldn’t have tried it.

                I did not save the site and it was in my native language, so probably not even useful to you. Sorry

                Try searching yourself or ask around on lemmy. I assure you, it is worth it.

            I saw a lot of normal people who just didnt want reddit anymore. So here are a lot of non tech savy people too without even knowinng Linux.

              I’m sure there’s some but the transition isn’t exactly smooth. I haven’t found a non-technical person who gets it.

              “My friend so-and-so told me to sign up for Lemmy but all I can find is Hexbear, or whatever-the-fuck lemme.ee is. It sounds like a scam.”

      Private browsing in Google Chrome will not store your browsing data locally into your computer; but Google will still keep that data in their own records.
