The internet is what you get via your ISP. You’re talking about www which is part of the internet but not the internet itself. There are plenty of things to do on the internet that aren’t www e.g. email works over the internet and I’m not talking about something like gmail but the communication between email servers and between your email provider and you when you use imap or pop3.
Curious choice to write a c++ program for this instead of doing the same thing in a powershell script.
One feature it should have: delete itself after running to leave no traces of such a tool.
at least existing features and data remain free.
For now.

You got most things right about UDP and TCP. They both work in the transport layer of the OSI model. They are also completely different protocols, related yes but independent.
UDP is “simpler” as it basically throws data packages in to the network and hope they reach their destination. TCP on the other hand has checks in place that verifies that a data package has actually reached its destination.
I use Jetbrains’ products for all my coding needs.
It’s good to keep pounding this info to normies. Maybe they’ll understand one day.
Java is baxkbone of modern web app and a privacy and security nightmare.
JavaScript. Two very different things. Though Java can also be as it’s used in backend quite a lot.
they emulate just the OS
Containers don’t emulate anything. They have an OS installed within them. Typically you use Alpine Linux which super minimalistic and lightweight.
If developers want to make a desktop application they should use proper cross platform desktop frameworks like QT or GTK or even JavaFX instead of a webpage disguised as an application.
It is. It’s a rolling release so it has the latest packages. It’s not bleeding edge like arch. All software goes thru an automatic testing in OpenQA before they are allowed in the repo so there’s some quality control. It’s also very stable.
I’m on the Other category, both for home and work. I use Tumbleweed in both.
I’m in the EU and that section in the settings isn’t even there. I guess they aren’t doing it here, for now at least. Probably due to GDPR.
In a country with good consumer rights, this would be a valid reason to return it and get a replacement or refund: It’s no longer offering functionality that was advertised and that you paid for as part of the purchase price.
In the EU this would probably be a no-brainer.
Mullvad has content and tracking blocking at dns level builtin (enabled in settings). Having it always on you don’t need to use private dns. If you use other profiles then set the private dns to one of mullvads. On my grapheneos install I use google play services only on another profiles then owner and have apps that require it only in those profiles.
