Same but with startpage (!sp) because it queries google anonymously

Fedora KDE, Kinoite, or Nobara could all be of interest to you

I like Mull the best. It’s pretty much just Firefox+arkenfox for mobile

Don’t tell people how to use their computers u lame

Agreed, have you tried Dearrow? It’s from the person who created SponsorBlock and is a crowdsourced way to get rid of the clickbait

Such a huge step to finally ridding ourselves of that garbage proprietary driver stack. There’s still so much work to do but hats off to the team!

I use Mozilla VPN, which is just Mullvad but more expensive. I want to support Mozilla though and enjoy the integration with my multi account containers so i stick with it

I completely agree with your sentiment: I was totally invested in psychedelics as a tool for psychological healing, and while they do have therapeutic benefits, recreational use is not how one achieves that and sometimes leads to people believing some really irrational things about the world amongst other side effects. I tripped at least 16 times in 2020, but I kinda lost count, and while at the time it felt like I was making breakthroughs and gaining insight, those returns diminished quickly and i was left with strong feelings of depersonalization/derealization/dissociation after stopping which made the issues I thought I had been working on so much worse. I’m still glad I had the experience of tripping as I did have some beautiful times on acid but be careful doing that stuff

I completely agree, but don’t forget that WebKit exists too on Mac and Linux with about the same market share as Firefox (at least based on w3school’s stats). Chrome/Blink dominate but all hope is not lost and there are more options, they’re just small. I think focusing on embracing Firefox/Gecko as it has so much momentum and community already is the most productive way forward though

Wait have u not gotten your XiBucks yet?

It’s true, I’m somebody who has run DIY distros daily for years and decided to try out Debian on a spare computer recently. I couldn’t even update the system after the initial install. It took me like forty minutes to find a thread which explained to me that Debian 12 has a bug with some raspi firmware that requires you to delete three files before apt will work, and there is 0 indication on the paths themselves, just people who have figured it out and were generous enough to share the knowledge. You can’t blame new users for those things, we as a community need to improve the software and the attitudes

I’ve quit caffeine several times but keep coming back to it to get the energy for long study stretches for university. I have successfully quit alcohol, weed, and various other drugs over the past year and a half so i don’t feel too bad about this being the one that sticks lol

China’s approach towards foreign policy in the modern day is strict non-interventionism and win-win cooperation, which includes working with unsavory governments. They want to establish allies and trading partners to build their belt and road initiative which undermines old imperialist economic structures. While China is doing something progressive here, they have chosen to strictly respect international law wherever possible while constructing this project to prevent any imperialist powers from finding an excuse to sanction them/wage war/etc. This is why they end up working with reactionary governments, to build partnerships which allow them to create a successful and wide-ranging alternative system of international trade which undermines the old economic order to create the conditions for a less exploitative, mutually beneficial world.

While this model is less directly revolutionary than that of the USSR, which aided revolutionaries abroad quite directly, it is still a form of mutual aid to the existing revolutions and provides greater flexibility for the imperial periphery to seek independent economic policy without as great of a threat of sanction or invasion. China is doing everything it can to prevent the isolation and proxy wars that the Soviets and their allies faced during the first Cold War, but still supporting AES countries with their trade deals and infrastructure aid projects etc

Sorry if this is a roundabout way of answering your question but I think addressing the roots of these sorts of relationships is more important than this particular instance, because it also explains China’s actions in other nations such as the Phillipines

That so wonderful comrade! I live in the Deep South USA and while i think my parents know my leanings, i think if i came out and said it they’d probably disown me. But I am a very vocal communist to everybody else in my life

Flatpak is fantastic. I think containerization is definitely the future of Linux app distribution, because the security and portability are so much better than native packages. Flatpak is the best implementation of this concept IMO, because it has a robust permission management system, is completely open unlike snap, and is performant with fast load times, solid deduplication of dependencies, and no garbage loopback devices
