Religion has historically provided a safe haven to the sick and twisted among society, where they’re allowed to act with impunity due to their perceived status.

That’s not directly due to the religion; but rather due to the societal pedestal being devout seems to put people on; “a holy person could never do that to a child” etc…

The reality is, other areas that benefit from this sort of status too find themselves riddled with bad actors… Just look through charity organisations and I can guarantee you’ll be combing over a sea of sociopaths buying themselves good credit with public opinion rather than people looking to make a difference because they want to (not to say these people don’t exist; they just don’t end up running the show normally)

I regret nothing.

Yeah, pretty much

As a British citizen I feel as though the marches here are unrelated and we’re just fed up of ol’ sausage fingers and the rest of the peado brigade at Buckingham.

::: spoiler /s ofc. We stand with the Americans looking to fight fascism; WW3 affects all of us. :::

Yeah I think you’re right. This will be the main drive behind adoption; even as an enthusiast I was sceptical to try a Linux phone; but google’s predatory policies ultimately forced my hand; it’s only a matter of time before more end up feeling like they have no choice.

Android isn’t the bastion of open source freedom it once was. We need a new (or GNU heheh) approach.

They’re actually different pictures from either side of the bridge.

A better tactic would be to threaten free delivery of a cyberstuck for every person that doesn’t vote the way he wants.

I’m using an Ubuntu touch device as my main driver these days (currently on volla Quintus)

It’s good, but it’s not there yet in terms of ease of use. If you’re not a Linux enthusiast, you will likely have a bad time on UT (can’t comment on sailfish, though I’d imagine it suffers in a similar way).

The largest problem is app support… By a mile. Most apps I use are just web apps I’ve had to manually setup. You can emulate an android and boot into it with waydroid, which will allow you to install apks; But honestly that feels like a cop out… which is why I try to make use of web apps where I can. (It also destroys your battery life… As you’re essentially running two phones).

Yeah good point; just like those compression vests you can get for cats and dogs that suffer with anxiety issues.

I do actually have a tweaknews subscription; But still find myself browsing public torrents too.

Old habits I guess.

Welcome back me hearty!

Proton VPN & QbitTorrent are the most common tools of the trade now. finding the files can be done via standard web browser; though many use TOR browser with duckduckgo as the search engine for an additional layer of anonymity.

Hope this helps. Feel free to DM if you need any advice on setup.

Nosism is well established in the English language; I can’t even see what you’re talking about in the OP; but had I seen ‘we’ in place of ‘I’ or ‘Me’, I would have taken it to mean the context is the application, rather than the developer.

Also, a team can be one person.

Would be far more viable had the Australian press not also been shot.

You’d think the microphone and news camera crew would give away the fact that they’re press, but I guess not. The PRESS identification is generally seen worn by war correspondents, rather than standadd press (they use lanyards moreso than flak jackets).

That being said; there is definitely an argument to be made that the US should be receiving war correspondents rather than standard journalists; and journalists being shot on camera definitely strengthens that argument.

Seconded. I have endeavourOS on my desktop and mint on my laptops.

Endeavour (arch based) is great for people who like to tinker with the setup whereas mint is ootb ready to go, with most UX features ex windows users would expect.

I used to recommend elementary OS to Mac users, and mint to windows. Now I recommend mint to all, and to customise it to mimic Mac; if that’s what’s desired… As it’s just so damn stable in comparison.

If you’re familiar in any capacity with self hosted tech. Id suggest checking out matrix servers. I setup one for family and friends a few months back. Currently it’s only running on a 2 core 8 gig ram vps with around 15 regular users, and ticks over fine. It’s routinely used as a phone chat client like WhatsApp, as well as for voice channels instead of discord.

You can utilise multiple different clients; but I would suggest element, as they’re the closest to WhatsApp, and therefore the easiest for people to adopt. (Afaik, it’s the only matrix client with voice & video call support too).

Matrix servers run on the concept of decentralised federated servers, with the idea that as the technology expands, admins can federate with other matrix servers and allow cross communication (in much the same way the fediverse works).
