Yeah, that headline did the star of Real Genius dirty with choosing Batman Forever

Quick fact check: he is married to a US citizen and had protected status...he was not a citizen himself.

To be clear, this is still illegal Nazi shit and needs to be stopped. But the party of lies will jump all over us for any inaccuracies on our side (because THIS is the bad place).

 
 
 

I can't believe I have to tell journalists this, but disappearing people for constitutionally protected free speech is not an "arrest." SMDH

And most of these "left" shows are basically DNC mouthpieces who hate anyone to the left of them (looking at you Cenk)...shows how hard it is to grow an audience without being backed by --and thus narrative driven by --corporate interests.

It's so they can track you better. ~~If you're in the US and using a Chromium based browser, so long as you don't view "adult content" they usually don't pop this up.~~ But they can't track in Firefox, and because of GDPR, they can't track logged-out users in the EU, so it's all about the money. I use Vivaldi and a VPN to watch youtube, works mostly fine.

EDIT: Well never-fucking-mind...this strategy has worked for me without fail for a lonnnnng time, and today they got me...same day the pulled uBlock origin from the Chrome store...dicks.

Off-topic, just want to say that I love that your name is cows are underrated, with a picture of a cow...way to be!

I've flirted with Linux off and on for 20 years, but MS forcing everyone to Win 11, stuffed with spyware, is the end of the road for me. Now on Linux full time. Linux isn't about to take over the desktop, but I can see Windows shedding a couple million users a year as enshittification continues.

 

So, not great then...

Proton's CEO is pro-Trump https://theintercept.com/2025/01/28/proton-mail-andy-yen-trump-republicans/

You should check out Tuta Mail (Germany) or Zoho Mail (China, not EU but a good, non US product)

 
 

With the enshittification of all-things-Google, a lot of us have left Chromium-based browsers for Firefox. But still, over the last 15 years, Firefox has gone from 30%+ market share to about 6% now.

With the big backlash against them over the last week, I've seen a number of people advocating for Librewolf and Waterfox -- Firefox forks focused on security and privacy -- but if Firefox loses what little revenue it has left, what will become of the forks if Firefox dies?

 

Just a shoutout to the admin of this community for recognizing satire from hack bullshit.

 

I need extensions way too much to use something built from scratch, so as Firefox joins the enshittification bandwagon, what's the best Firefox-based browser I should check out?

 

A good watch about when the slide into authoritarianism crosses the Rubicon and how we should respond.

Ok, getting Linux setup as Windows enshitiffication continues...I installed Arc Menu and it's almost perfect, but the app categories have mostly themed icons, just a few of them don't. Any way to change these last 5 icons on the far-left side?

EDIT: Solved. Took me longer to figure out than I want to admit, but in my case, those category icons were coming from Zorin OS's built in menu settings. So I launched the "Main Menu" from Arc Menu, which brings up Zorin's menu editor.

Then clicking on "Applications" shows the categories, at which point I could right-click on a category, then "properties" and click on the icon

The system icons are stored at /usr/share/icons -- browse to the right icon, select it and restart gnome (or log out and log back in)...everything is fixed. Hope this helps someone else save a bit of time down the road 🤷
