    Well as you may know, when you try running pyinstaller on linux, it packs the .py file into a linux exectuable, not a windows executable.

    Ethernet port being used while PC is turned off?

    Greetings! So recently, i spent a few hours coding software. After i was done and i shut off my pc, i noticed both of the ethernet lights were on and blinking. Does this mean that Microsoft is sending data to their servers before the PC fully shuts off? I am scared that this might be the thing it does. How can i get rid of this issue? I have no idea if it's related to Windows or the PC itself.

    To be honest. What made me care about privacy was social media apps such as Reddit. Every single day, i used to get reddit notifications promoting "the most popular post in my country". Look, at first i didn't care. Now it got annoying, to the point where i replaced Refdit with Lemmy, getting rid of windows, switching to FOSS (free and open source software) apps and also using Degoogled Chromium. While reddit wasnt the only thing i mentioned so far, i hate how Youtube has to know where you live, and giving you directions to the nearest store (for certain ads). This probably may get malliciously used in the future, that's what i got really aware of. Now it really hurt me when Youtube has killed most 3rd party frontends (such as invidious and piped). So in conclusion, Privacy can really matter for me as a lot of services i used to use can now collect data about you.

    What type of problem though? I don't see anything wrong with using an apple product while maintaining my privacy.

    So as you may know, i am a guy mostly focused on privacy. Basically, insead of google i use SearXNG. (Privacy focused search engine) However, when i went to change the default search engine in safari, there was no option to add a custom search engine. This really pissed me off. So how come Apple allows changing default browsers in the EU, but not search engines?

    I've used chrome as a browser for almost my entire life. It's kinda nice to still have the chrome i know and love, but with no google spyware.

    Degoogle Chromium help

    Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc. However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions. Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh) Thanks a lot!
