The point is that they are manufacturing consent for violent regime change.

She asked the US and Israel to invade and bomb Venezuela… I can see the point of giving her the prize, but it’s not in the name of peace.

Akregator on desktop, Read You on mobile.

Agree for a main computer but there’s no risk when using Windows 7 or XP on an offline machine.

There’s still a few weeks until 25.10 releases. If its still issues by release time I’m sure that they’ll either delay the 25.10 release (as they have done in the past) or pause the coreutils-rs rollout and stick to GNU Coreutils for this release.

+972 Magazine (an Israeli anti-genocide publication) and Drop Site News actually were the first ones to break the story.

Jolla Sailfish OS. Can buy a phone from them preinstalled, or flash certain Sony Xperia devices with the OS. Runs smooth as butter and has 2+ day long battery life according to owners. Its based on the old MeeGo project from Nokia back in the day and is based on Debian.

If you want something more Linux-like then the FLX1 is it. It runs very close to stock Debian Stable with Posh as the UI, but it runs some Android code underneath for device drivers, so its not a “pure” Linux system, but it’s a very good experience and still not controlled by Google.

I wouldnt recommend Fairphone if you want to do Linux stuff with it, it’s a perfect AOSP or LineageOS device though.

I’ll take anything that’s a move in the right direction at this point. Gaza is the modern-day Holocaust and anything that moves the needle to make the killing stop is a good thing.

It gets pushed often by reactionaries as an “anti-woke” browser LOL its a complete piece of shit. It’s got crypto, tracking, NFTs, AI and ads baked in. Literally everything I hate about the tech industry rolled up into one package. I’d rather use Chrome, even.

Just use Firefox for gods sakes, Brave is a complete joke of a browser especially when it comes to privacy.

GrapheneOS is probably not long for this world with how much Google has been fucking with AOSP’s source code releases. We need full-fat mainline Linux on our phones, with no Android code included.

Credit Card only it looks like. Mozilla VPN is just a wrapper around Mullvad (it uses their servers and technology) so I would recommend getting that. Mullvad accepts a lot of more bespoke payment methods (crypto, wire transfer, cash in an envelope). The main reason to get Mozilla VPN is to bundle it with Mozilla’s other services.

That’s extremely weird, I’ve never heard of Firefox not letting you browse until you update. When snap auto-updates Firefox there’s usually a notification bubble asking to close your browser to update but you can dismiss it and keep browsing in my experience.

The hate for snap on Linux forums always felt weird to me, I’ve literally never had issues with Firefox snap. I understand being frustrated with it on the principle that it feels Windows-y to force it on the system, but the Firefox snap is packaged by Mozilla and bundles the latest Mesa libraries instead of using the older libraries from the Debian repos that don’t have the latest performance fixes, so its also faster than installing through .deb. And Mozilla has Debian repos for Firefox you can add to your sources.list if you really insist. There’s also nothing preventing you from installing Flatpak and using that on Ubuntu.

/e/os can be installed on devices that can be purchased on the secondhand market for under $100. This is the opposite of “privacy only for the rich”.
