I agree with all the Linux comments but another thing you could do is use FOSS self-hostable front-ends to those proprietary services like invidious and newpipe (android) for youtube, redlib for reddit, nitter for twitter etc. You don’t have to host them yourself, there’s already plenty of people hosting their own instances.

Aside from removing ads which you can already do with an adblocker (which takes 1 revenue stream away from them) it lets you browse privately without any data collection which would be sold to advertisers (taking away their 2nd revenue stream) plus it frees you from the clutches of the algorithm, it helped stopping my ADHD from leaving me 2 binge yt vids for hours on end.

Majority of AAA games run invasive software like kernel-level anticheat, I’d personally recommend js buying him a PS5 or running them in VMs (Linux or windows).

“Free speech absolutist” 🤣🤣🤣

Frameworks are the best modern laptop by far imo.

They do by default but like I said it’s open source so you can tweak it to not be.

That’s exactly my point, most usual labour voters didn’t agree with Corbyn, cause they don’t blindly follow whoever’s leader of any one party.

In fact we usually vote for whichever party’s either the least dogshit at the time or strategically vote against the most, for example when Blair illegally went to war in Iraq to suck American dick we all collectively voted against Labour, and after the absolute Tory shitshow we all voted against them.

Strategically because of our absolutely shit, barely democratic FPTP voting system, which usually forces people to vote strategically, against the most powerful party they like the least, but luckily we still have more than 2 voting options.

It’s open source, although not 'cause it wants to be but 'cause it’s the best way to compete with mainstream non-chinese software internationally, you can easily remove any censorship included by default.

Any politician we find to have done something stupid, regardless what party or country we’ll call a bellend, it js means dickhead, also very literally.

English people acc know how to think for themselves, we criticise our politicians regardless of what parties we vote for and form our own opinions rather than follow the rhetoric of one of two absolutely dogshit parties.
