I wasn’t paying that much attention, I hope I am not badmouthing mozilla, but I believe I had the same experience with snap install of Firefox on current xbuntu. Maybee a month ago? I am using DDG by default and always remove Google from the search engine list. The thing updates, I do a random search and get the google screen asking me all the questions about cookies and privacy I simply don’t know how to answer. I go into settings and find google set as default search engine. What is even stranger, I can no longer remove google from the list! This seems to me so ridiculous I decide it has to be a bug I am happy to report that when I’ve noticed next update (becase those annoying tabs informing about new features) - I was again able to remove google from the search engine list.
Mozilla acts pretty scary nowadays - maybe naively - I am pinning my hopes on Ladybird.


There were times when Israel was at least trying to be ambiguous about their possession of nuclear weapons. The famous
“not to be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the area.”
Now we get junior ministers, half of the media and all the facebook discussing who should be nuked first. Mordechai Vanunu spent 2 decades in prison because of this crap.


We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.
Not a ban really (not in US banning tiktok sense), better.


None of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the “unanimously” comes from 😇 I’ve looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷♂️
off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?


I blame him for MacBook unibody design that made whole generations of mbooks gone way too soon because of heat stress. But shiny metal pretty!
I blame him for the whole butterly keyboard fiasco that made me stop using MBooks.
I don’t blame him for smartphones because I don’t think he invented those.


how did everyone access the article?
I would like to know if its the same tired 40 year old argument on “sphere of influence” or actually something interesting at least from the “intellectual elasticity” point of view?


Asahi linux. AFAIK Linus Tovalds still uses Macs - he has done so at least since the Intel era. I am co nsidering buying one as first a sort of low power gaming console (on MacOs) and eventually as an efficient yet powerfull home server…
