I stopped trusting google when they decided to remove the "Do not be evil" clause

I held off on getting one for the longest time. Just bought one and my god is the rice so much better now.

I agree, I think if this is how windows goes forward a lot of tech people will leave their ecosystem entirely. The one thing stopping them is the convenience of windows (mostly free if you know what you are doing and most processes don't need to be thought about). A subscription based OS throws everything out the door. This gives them an unbelievable amount of control over what you see/do/store. Want to view a website for linux installation? "Nope that goes against our T&Cs, you've been banned from your OS with all your information on it".

The upside I see will be linux will start becoming easier on everyday users because the tech people switched and want the convenience

I can only assume this but this is most likely a response to the C-11 bill that just passed. Netflix was already losing mass amounts of content due to other streaming services. And now our government is mandating that all online streaming have & pay for a certain amount of Canadian content...

Our government is really the one fucking us over when it comes to the internet. From only ever helping monopolies to passing laws on the internet that can only harm users.

If using qBittorrent there is an anonymous option. Not sure if works well but I haven't received an ISP email in a long time since I set it

Probably because it became very profitable to let everyone do that 😔

They didn't really give good context to the situation. They really should be talking about how these changes are going to be affecting reddit's sources of information. That the fee's they want to charge are ridiculously high for any developer (essentially pricing out any but the rich). How all content is user generated, maintained and controlled and yet reddit feels they are the owners of it. If they want to make these changes then they need to be taking a serious look at the solutions the community are coming up with.

I'm waiting on my GDPR first, as I'd like a backup of my data. But their support is dodging questions about it too. Have yet to give me a firm answer:
