I am a bit confused; what is trying to be communicated here?

Oh, apologies for the misunderstanding.

I understand that Zello is not FOSS, but their website claims everything is end-to-end-encrypted.

So, in short, should/can it be trusted? If not, are there any good FOSS alternatives that provide similar Walkie-Talkie like functionality?

Corporate needs you to find the difference between"Advanced Windows Settings" and "Control Panel"

They're the same picture.

All jokes aside, I strongly recommend a service like Invidious or Piped.

Is XFCE still an option for install? I prefer it if I ever go back.

Email, Calendar, Cloud storage, and VPN all Free* and Open Source.

*Free as in Freedom. While they do have free priced tiers, you do have to pay for more storage, more VPN servers, etc. Free still worth it IMO.

So, this might seem like a stupid question on face value, but I'll go further in detail.

Everyone talks about getting a personal website so you can freely express yourself without getting beaten up by typical Social Media companies. While I fully agree with that, there are a few issues I have thought of:

Firstly, (assuming self-hosting isnt an option) won't you have to use google or AWS to host your website? And if you post something "they don't like", nothing is stopping them from just ban-hammering your website.

Secondly, even if you get a stable host, getting a domain is a completely different issue with the same causes; they could just revoke your domain if, again, you say something "they don't like".

With all that being said, would anyone have any remedies for these issues? Are there any privacy/free-speech respecting web hosts and domain suppliers?

Thank you for your responses! :D

School is starting up soon, and I want to install a stable distro to a 64GB flash drive that i own will remain stable while booting onto at least 2 computers (my home PC for maintenance and my School laptop for, well school).

I was thinking of just using Debian, but wasn’t sure if it would work well in terms of compatibility with my requirements.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

VSCodium. Basically ungoogled-chromium but VS Code and Microsoft.

Downside of Photopea is it's not open-source (mainly because the creator needs ad revenue to run it, but I digress)
