Gotta go home and crack a few linuxes
Linuces
Not Linuxi?
Linuxen.
Apparently Linuces is Latin for multiple Torvalds’s
Linopodes
Silly me, I forgot the grammatical plural of Linux. Damn it.
Hello fellow linuxahoic
What the fuck is wrong with just saying email? It’s been around for decades.
If someone said to me “Could you crack a Linux” I would walk away slowly and avoid eye contact.
Because this is a Proton Ad.
Could be.
Picking another corporation to base your language around isn’t better. Why not refer to the general privacy concepts that corporation claims to have?
hehe, yikes
between Proton moving operations and its CEO being a MAGA (or at least a Trump sycophant), the advice to adopt Proton has really curdled recently
Yes, all his musings about Trump cracking down on Google aged like fine milk. Everyone who paid attention knew this though. He should keep his mouth shut about politics and do his company a favor
It would be safer if we discussed.this using encryption:

Please provide your public key.
Oh, sorry, I lost that with my bitcoin wallet in 2011 when my hard drive crashed ☹️
Yes. Public Forum conversations should be encrypted so the AI scrapping bots don’t analyse them
Proton advertisement.
Proton Meet? lol
Cups and string ftw
Instead, lets simplify: Search, Message, Email, Video Call… wtf is the last one
This is a joke… right? Right?
Judging by the last part… yeah. But also, there is something to it.
Has to be…right?
I mean if you’re not serious enough, sure /jk
Had me going until “Could you crack a Linux?”
This reeks of adults trying to explain to other adults about ‘internet speak’ and should have stayed in whichever marketing fools addled brain it came from
What the fuck is this?
Its been so hard to stop saying google it but im getting there, they really got us good with their branding brain worm
At the same time, Google hates people using their name generically for web searching because it risks them losing the trademark.
So I guess I am conflicted, because I hate to acknowledge Google more than I need to, but would love to see the term become meaningless.
I use DuckDuckGo but say Google for this exact reason. If I’m talking to someone I actually like I usually elaborate to say “Google isn’t the search engine I actually use because it’s sus, but you know what I mean”
Luckily I find it pretty easy to avoid using brand names and just use the plain old verb.
Search it for me. Look it up. Message me. Send it to me, I’ll send this back to you. Set up a call, a meeting, a video call.
Pretty sure “to google” means to search for something and get nothing but ads, bad answers, and frustration now. Dunno why anyone would want that.
Or maybe it means “to create a cool product then kill it while it’s still popular.”
“Could you DuckDuckGo that for me?” just doesn’t work the same.
“Hey, can you Duck around and find out?”
That really needs to be their next PR campaign.
but if enough people use google as a general verb, the word will stop being owned by alphabet (from my understanding)
Would be better if this had serious suggestions. But to add a serious one, please say something like “content blocker” instead of “adblocker”; you’re not freeloading by blocking ads, you’re choosing to not connect to unwanted privacy-hostile content with your computer and internet connection, as you should.
