A question about the CCleaner
(programming.dev)
There are legit VPN companies. Mullvad would be my choice if I didn't already use Proton for their suite of software.
Nord is shit-tier. CCleaner is shit-tier. Raid shadow legends is shit tier.
Note which youtuber it is, and completely disregard anything they say.
The way I see it is if a company has to spend a shit ton of money advertising, they're probably not all that good to begin with.
If a product is legitimately good people will be beating down their door.
I have never actually seen a Proton ad. I only looked into them after hearing about them often on privacy oriented subs.
Literally Edward Snowden mentioning it is the first time I heard of it, and after that, it was in the news a few times when big leaks happened, and the people who used Proton Mail never seemed to be the ones who got caught. That's the only I've ever heard them being "advertised" - and that's a pretty fucking good ad campaign: be one that people can rely on when their lives are at stake.
Same. I've been using proton for 6 or 7 years now.
I've seen a couple on the Linux Experiment's page
I hate to admit, but I played Raid shadow legends on day 1. it was shit-tier after 3 hours and thirsted for money.
Needless to say, a YouTuber I saw during a YouTube-Trip said that they declined the raid shadow legends deal, despite it being 5 figures. Didn’t say the specific amount though.
CCleaner is trash, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21VMQyQzRJw
His rationale is that on a stock install, it removes entries, and that it might break some things. But he doesn't show much more than stuff being removed. He doesn't reason that windows may or may not clean them up itself, or explain which programs are crashing. It's a 6 minute video you can probably Skip. There may be better videos with more evidence out there.

Sure link them so we can see...
Proof is the burden of those who make the assertion. Is ccleaner useless? It has yet remained to be seen.
Pretty interesting video! Thank you!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=21VMQyQzRJw
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Good bot :D
Their update server was hacked 3 times already, if you MUST use it then use the portable version and remove it afterwards.
