I use Ubuntu. Can someone tell me if that’s “independent and outside US jurisdiction”? I know it’s made/maintained by canonical.

What are some Linux distros that we should avoid? What are some that are independent?

Several excellent applications currently offer comprehensive alternatives to Google services. What are your preferred applications at this time? in c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

What is the YouTube alternative? That’s what I’m struggling to find. I found PeerTube but couldn’t find much I’d like to watch.

ETA: I like videos like Veritasium and VSauce, Tom Scott, those kinds of things.

To a Tyrannosaurus (~66 million years ago), the Stegosaurus (~155 million years ago) is as ancient as the Tyrannosaurus is to us.

It is interesting because most people think of “the age of the dinosaurs” as one big piece of time where they were all together.

There is a nice VSauce video on the illusions of time: https://youtu.be/zHL9GP_B30E
