Hey! Who changed the American flag emoji?!
Think this is because I just updated fonts-noto-color-emoji?
Well, in any event, this is an outrage I shall not stand for! 😉
EDIT: Well, this is what happens when you aim for Vietnamization, I guess. 🤷
EDIT EDIT: Using the menu editor on Linux Mint Cinnamon, you can usually edit the comments for an app by clicking on its preferences, and ironically I was doing that to mark the apps that are US-based with the flag as a reminder to find alternatives to them!
Haven't heard any opinions on arkenfox yet...anyone have any thoughts?
Yes, I got:
Good signature from "Tor Browser Developers (signing key) <torbrowser@torproject.org>" [full]
Does that mean it's ok? Maybe Mullvad just needs to update their website?

Thank you for taking the time to write all that! I did do what you described, but the RSA key I got at the end was different from what Mullvad's webpage says, which is the same as what you put, I think: 6131 . . . etc.
Why why why don't they just do like Wikipedia or the Internet Archive does and just come out and ask for donations instead of trying to sneak all this advertising shit into things?
EDIT: Another idea, which I'm sure they'll never consider, is to host actual @thunderbird.net email addresses which could be paid for. People at this very minute are looking for Proton Mail replacements, and this could be one of them . . .
That's kind of what I figured, although after following Mullvad Browser's instructions for verification, I did get two different RSA keys, if that means anything . . .
Right, and I got two different RSA keys . . .
How important is it to verify a signature (of say Mullvad Browser)?
Because it's kind of hard! Even if I follow their instructions. Maybe I'm just dumb . . . 🙁
🤔Well, hmmm. How bout out of the box/to start with?
So is Firefox mobile or Fennec actually better in this regard?
But weren't they acquired by some big evil company?
Which is best at mitigating browser fingerprinting? Firefox (with or without arkenfox)? Librewolf? Mullvad browser?
Tor is off the table for me because it's so slow. If you can point to some test sites or documentation that supports your choice, please include!
The world can no longer trust American tech. If that sounds dramatic, take a step back and consider the facts. The United States is a nation in the thrall of authoritarianism, owned and operated almost completely by a far-right doomsday cult intent on betraying every alliance, every contract, every...
I didn't have an issue with fireballs either, thankfully, because I made my saving throws before they got to me.🔥😉
Am I right tho about having to scan QR codes to go back and forth between desktop and mobile on SimpleX, or am I just 😵💫?
EWOC, which is mentioned in the article, unfortunately didn't seem to be able to process my very modest contribution 🙁
Selfhosting is kind of hard and labor intensive for some of us; had a lot of trouble trying to set up NextCloud on my QNAP (if that counts as selfhosting), and finally gave up.
Grr! Ok, but damned if I could get that to work! It seems like you can't use the desktop and mobile client at the same time! You have to scan a QR code to switch between them! And it has issues with firewalls and VPNs! Old and clueless here, maybe part of the problem. 🙁
This link has a helpful graphic, thank you! 🙂👍
What do you think about Session as a potential replacement for Signal?
Session is a private messenger that aims to remove any chance of metadata collection by routing all messages through an onion routing network.
Especially for the less tech-savvy among us?
Erg, after all this fuss, Element is kind of hard to use and not very intuitive 🙁
What do you think about using Beeper just for SMS?
It would be nice if I could get SMS 2FA-type notifcations on my desktop without having to use my phone.
I probably wouldn't use Signal with it, since Beeper's own page seems to suggest that sending Signal messages with it would be less secure! And, I guess, SMS isn't secure to begin with . . .
If I download and install Element, and then look at the SMS bridges available on Matrix's website, the recommended bridge instructions sends me over to Beeper, since I don't have my own server. Old and confused here . . .

Former Intelligence Officer Claims KGB Recruited Trump
Probably should be taken with several very large grains of salt, but the article did just get yanked off of Daily Beast's website...
Is there such a thing as a flexible metal laptop cord protector?
And if so, does anyone know where could I get one?
My cat will attack anything that moves, including my laptop cord, and has already ruined one by chewing on it. I've seen plastic ones for sale, but I'm fairly certain he would just chew right through them. 😼
