SimpleX is starting to delve into Crypto. Some may care, some may not but it is a newer development in the project.

CoMaps is the fork of Organic Maps as it was found that Organic Maps Devs were using the app in ways not intended. Mostly due to privacy, transparency and for profit issues.

Or, if one wants to go the minimalist, smallest threat footprint way, one can go in the other direction and use F-Droid Classic. Think a debloated F-Droid, made by the F-Droid folks.

Gates hides behind his psychopathic greed and thirst for maniacal influence and power behind charity, what few people know is that the Bill’s foundation is an excellent exercise of venture philanthropy, where seeking profits comes first over everything else, at the expense of you know, philanthropy. They admit this.

It is something a lot of billionaires do, the Zuck has one, many do. They are not charities at all, in the practical sense but they are tax shelters. Gates will say that he has no day to day control, but he does help lean it where he wants it to go, plus you know who does by proxy and by earmarking the major donations? The Gates and Melinda Trust Fund. Who controls that? Bill and Melinda Gates and until a few years ago, also Buffet.

Bill is smart. He wants to make a shitload of money on vaccine tech? Sure, have the foundation give earmarked donations to the WHO that can only be used for that, then GABI, his other arm of the foundation can serve as the middle man for that cash. That’s before he invested hundreds of millions in big pharma and then what? = Profit. He does the same on education? = Profit. He pushed fake meat, invest a bit on it --relatively speaking to him-- and then, on the side, becomes the largest if not second largest farm land owner in the USA who then leases that land back to farmers. = Profit.

How come most people do not know most of this, because he also “donates” hundreds of millions to big media, you know, out the kindness of his heart. You know, so why would they report or say or rpeort anything negative of the guy? Quite the opposite. Remember Covid, why is a billionare on the news telling you what to do? Why him? Why any billionaire? Luckily, the link below tells us who they bribe, I mean, help with generous donations to their yearly budgets. And this is a couple of year old but the trend continues.

You question any of this? How dare you you? You bigot, conspiracy theorist! Admittedly, that narrative keeps most people from looking at his BS critically.

Hey, remember when people cared about the environment? Nah, Gates said that we have to focus on Energy production instead now. Wait the guy who is now heavily investing billikns in AI and power hungry data centers wants more energy? You don’t say!

Luckily for us he already had created a seeding/funding program where such initiatives will be invested on and much profit will be had on this exact front, and most will fall for it, because they always do.

Murena are not the authors of Nextcloud.

I second this, although unfortunately, the average user is not very aware of it.

Ya.

But… This is a good thing. I will take it. More FOSS awareness is great news. As long as it sticks.

Good stuff.

Uh, FreshRSS coupled with Wallabag? Or Nextcloud?

Second this.

Aside what the other poster said, which I agree with, I think there is also an increasing dislike of Google in general, that may be feeding the undercurrent of the hate you see.

Nice & Thanks.

You are right. But some people literally do take Marx’s words as Dogma. I met a few IRL.

How are they lies? Honestly asking. What facts can you put forth?

I can see SK being late to the game of polling in this context. They were culturally more Conservative and no major changes happened until after about the 2010’s. Once more of the West’s culture began bleeding into theirs thanks to the Internet which them bled back into ours.

UK and Germany are likely to have longer polls. Plus, they do not vote like the USA. UK is pretty Right wing comperatively speaking, and Germany has been pretty Left leaning for 20+ years. As I follow their politics.

I think it could be perceived as vague since the charts lack the above cultural reference points so albeit the changes are likely correct, their actual starting points are likely different and relative to themselves over being a 1:1 absolute to all. We would have to see the methology of how they did the polls. But the trends are likely correct.

As far as the USA, looking at the last election results by demographic seems to track with the USA chart. Specially among minorities.

In my experience, if the show has nothing going after say 2-3 episodes, at most, then why bother?

Starting slow and being bad are not the same. Breaking Bad was good from the get go. Even if it was not as good as later seasons. Most great shows start well and get better. Few are terrible and magically doe a 180° in a couple of 1st Season episodes.

Or eating random, wild mushrooms.

Truthfully, if people are stupid enough to buy into this hype they sort of deserve it as much as the morons who run those companies. Buyer beware and all that jazz.

We all know the meme of the Smart-BBQ that refuses to BBQ because of a failed update via wifi. If people are walking away from having a simple metal pit to amber some meat on it, then we are failing as a species. More vectors of failure just means more vectors of failure. Use KISS whenever possible. Don’t fall for the ‘for your convenience’ trap. How ridiculous that, if true, they cannot flush a toilet that literally works on gravity.

No idea who would buy this. By definition networks will fail at some point. Same aslt avoiding subscription models as much as possible.

You don’t, neither do I. why the hell are they pushing this?

It the jingling of the keys that may sound good to some investors?

I quit by unplugging the machine.
