Quite a stretch to justify this as "cyber security"

Thank you. I suppose you're right. My imagination tends to spiral. How much longer until thinking the wrong thoughts becomes a matter of law enforcement.

Do you have any suggestions of an email service provider that is more respectful of privacy than proton? Or is this just the dystopia we live in where no data is private...

NFL owners approve 8 percent sale of Eagles to investment groups in c/nfl

Enshitification at its finest. Mark my words. 20 years from now most teams with be owned by a board of directors worried about investors and profits and the quality of the NFL will be absolute shit. It won't even be the same game anymore. And the sheep will eat it like it's gourmet cuisine.

Stop making every fucking community political. These headlines are fucking retarded. It's already been happening it doesn't matter what fucking administration is in power. We've been spied on since the Patriot act

Best Distro for Laptops? (self.linux)
 

I want to know your opinions on the best distro that is convenient for laptops. Main reason is I want to really optimize hardware performance and more specifically battery life for my University classes. I also want to try a tiling manager as they seem perfect for laptops.

Things of note:

  • Convenience/Performance is key
  • My laptop is a Thinkpad E15 w/ 16 gb ram
  • On my home desktop I run Archlinux w/ Open box & no DE (I've been using Arch for years but haven't used another distro since Ubuntu in highschool)
  • I will likely dual boot with Windows 10 for Office
  • I want to run a tiling manager
  • I don't video game
  • I wont be using a mouse
  • I don't necessarily want to use Arch, want to try something new that I don't have to rely on AUR updates for certain software
