Edit: Pycharm works well too.

Py-Charm isn’t a Python interpreter, it’s an IDE. It has a purpose.

over to Linux full-time back in ~3.15. I recommend you join the LUG Org (Linux User Group), as they have a load of resources in case you get stuck and have some people working on specialised Wine runners. They also run a Matrix Space that’s worth joining.

For email and VPN, I recommend Proton. Even their free tier works well.

Just to make it clear to any other people reading this, Jellyfin has Group Sync where you can create groups with participants and syncplay media.

Odysee did/does something interesting where if one uses the desktop client, the video gets streamed and cached, and then seeded back over a configurable amount of time. I could see creator’s communities being self-sustainable this way.

Bitcoin is pseudonymous - Transactions are transparent, yes, but the addresses are not linked to any PII - The exception comes in when the user uses a Centralised Exchange that does exactly this, it bridges anonymous addresses with PII via KYC.

Bitcoin can be sold anonymously using P2P DEXs (decentralised exchanges), where the fiat transaction has no link to Bitcoin.

That’s assuming they even would want to sell.

All in all, it comes down to how the user uses the tool. Bitcoin can be as privacy preserving as anyone wants. But if they KYC, they can kiss any privacy goodbye, and really, that’s the misunderstanding that has reached most non-Bitcoin users these days. Experiences based on a lack of understanding.
