It almost seems like there’s anti Mozilla campaign going on. It’s normal to see some critique but all of a sudden there is a huge Mozilla hate push. Call me crazy but it feels organized

Title is probably true, but also it’s less likely for the NSA to leak your info than say an ISP that openly sells your info. I highly doubt that the NSA sees someone pirating Photoshop as a priority. VPNs can help with preventing a random ad from logging your real loose location, have built in DNS ad block, open up region locked content plus a list of other benefits.

VPNs absolutely help with general privacy, like not putting your personal phone number on a public registry. They are not intended to perfectly hide you from a super power’s intelligence agency lol

You can always just try endeavouros. Its pretty much arch with calmaries installer. It even uses official arch repos

Way way better than gmail IMO. One simple reason is if you have something wrong with your account you can get in contact with a real human. And still better data protection than anything in the US. I’m not a journalist or freedom fighter so for my use case it’s ideal.

Would explicit sync solve the xwayland electron apps from UI glitching and flickering?

Intel GPUs look like a great value. And AV1 hardware acceleration is a game changer

I doubt they need to install something new for a back door

Standardnotes already has premium sharing where you can give someone premium but that account’s file storage usage come from the original account’s plan.

The bot should at least pick from a pool of apps new enough to run on the latest 2 versions of Android. There’s a lot of ancient apps that haven’t been updated in ages.

Ah yes, because fighting oppression with checks notes more oppression works

Knowning openai they will make the platform as locked down as they can

Take 2 people that have not used gimp or krita. Ask them to daw a circle, and see which software they are able to do it in.

Gimp is a ux nightmare (or at least it used to be i haven’t used ot in years) I will try gimp 3 when it comes out in 2037

Oh yeah, it’ll work fine on any truenas/unraid/synology system it works on about anything with docker/linux there’s even a beta for windows.

My only complaint is a lack of URLbase so setting up a reverse proxy on some setups does not work well.

I doubt they really care, there’s still a way (to my knowledge) to download audiobooks from audible to mp3. You have to dig a bit to find the option from what i remember. This just makes it easier and in chapterized .m4b goodness.

If anyone is into selfhosting things I recommend audiobookshelf if you want to self host and stream audiobooks. Such a cool project!

Yes! There are definitely NO private interest groups in the US! Everything is 100% voters choice. I’d also like to add the US system is not in anyway pay to play. The only reason truly grass root candidates don’t get elected to major positions is that the American people prefer and trust corporate backed politicians, as they are the ones that will lead us to a more productive feature!

I bought a android tv device (NVIDIA shield) and just assumed it was open source like android, turns out it’s not and they force ads on the home screen, if you jump though a ton of hoops to roll back some updates, you can turn them off, but it will re-enable them after a while. does not feel like a device I own. Even NVIDIA cannot turn off the google ads on the NVIDIA shield. you can add other launchers but they don’t make it easy and they regularly get removed as the default launcher.

At this point I’m just considering just making a mini PC with linux https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ that will stay connected to my TV. OSMC is another option; however, it does not work well with DRMed content, so I gave up on that as well; even though it’s an awesome project. Some android TV boxes are compatible with Lineage OS so that might be another option.

A large part of the old Testament is about the Jewish people and how they are God’s chosen people. In the new testament Jesus made it (to the Christian perspective) so everyone gets to be in that chosen club. The crucifix is a roman thing even though the angy mob was Jewish, Jesus was also Jewish, many followers of Jesus were Jews etc. Also some prophecies in the book of revelations (last book in the bible) but I don’t remember much off hand.

Add in the horrors of the Holocaust and its hard for people with a simplistic good or bad/binary worldview to even understand other perspectives.

Most of the people that agree with Israel I’ve come across are very religious and can’t comprehend that they are wrong because they are on the side of the good guys in the bible. It doesn’t matter if you show them sources. They have spent their whole life closing their eyes to anything that threatens their worldview

While I’m all for vaccination including covid vaccines, we would not have the distrust towards the mega pharmaceutical companies if they were not so untrustworthy. They sold their trust for profits a long time ago.
