Imgur is compromised. Alternatives:
Youtube is compromised. Hooktube no longer works. Use:
Windows is compromised. Linux is nowhere near as hard to use or install as FUD would have you believe. Numerous posts have been created here over the years on getting started in the various Linux flavors, and we are more than happy to help out.
NordVPN/Protonmail (along with most VPN/private email services) are compromised. There are no 'proven good' alternatives, but there are some that haven't yet been proven bad:
- https://tutanota.com/
- Rolling your own email server (which can cost just the price of a domain, and possibly also a raspberry pi if you want a dedicated server)
Nightmode is top right: https://imgoat.com/uploads/5e00132373/145569.bmp
You can save posts and comments. You can only view 20 pages of your own comment history, which means that, when you eventually need to cite that one glorious comment you wrote last year/month/week, you'll be unable to find it without having it saved.
Politics spill into everything, and because of the reduction in ability to censor (even for curation's sake), you will find politics even here, in your own sub, eventually. Modlogs are public and cannot be hidden. Here is yours: https://imgoat.com/uploads/5e00132373/145571.bmp
It's a smaller community here. If there is some form of content that you want, but can't find, contribute what small amount you have to start things off and others will pitch in. The Chans work the same way, and the Linux ecosystem as a whole *tends* to operate this way.
(((Echoes))) around a noun signify either that it is Jewish (e.g. for a name), or that it is the product of Jewish meddling (e.g. for a concept). Contrary to mainstream damage control, echoes aren't a right wing 'golden star' or similar, but actually are how they would refer to themselves in classified CIA documents.
Ask people to cite their sources - most are friendly enough to tell you where they found/heard something.
Welcome to Voat. Enjoy your stay.

Thanks. Great tips. @alele-opathic Is there a Linux FAQ or a Tips post stuck somewhere. I looked for one, but I didn't see one anywhere. I'm not looking for detailed instructions on installing Linux. More like what packages I should install or uninstall, config settings and security related tips. Sage wisdom from those who've been there.

I don't have one saved, and search is down at the moment. Usually someone just starts a post in v/whatever and everyone joins in - we get one of these maybe every 4 months or so, and we haven't had one in a while. Things are a little nuts at the moment, and, if you did make a post, it may get lost in the storm, but do give it a try.
