Don't forget Tor Browser https://www.torproject.org: the Tor Project modified version of Firefox. It aims to make all users look the same, making it difficult for you to be fingerprinted based on your browser and device information.

Mullvad Browser https://mullvad.net/en/browser: developed in collaboration between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project, based on Tor Browser but meant to be used with a VPN instead of the Tor network.

I pay. People pay, stop saying no one wants to pay, it's wrong. One example that comes in mind is Wikipedia: no ads, people pay.

I don't want ads all over my screen when I browse the web. It doesn't mean I don't want to pay for content (I do pay). If ads were all blocked, websites would charge for content, and I believe people would pay. I would. I'm glad to pay for a better quality of life and less consumerism. Meanwhile I use NewPipe and uBlock Origin which I believe have a good impact on this society.

For most channels you don't need an IRC account. And there are web interfaces like https://web.libera.chat/.

I'm trying to subscribe to Discord. I'm currently stuck in a captcha loop.

I usually know, when the interface is not too shiny, that the content might be good. It's the same with HN. And those interfaces are still very easy to understand and use.

That being said, there is certainly room for improvement.

There is usually no need to subscribe.

You don't need to subscribe. You are in CC when people want you to be notified, otherwise there are web interfaces you can browse. See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/ for example. On each message there is a button: "reply via email to [...]".

  # do your code change
  git commit
  git send-email --to=<some mailing list> -1

  # amend your change
  git commit --amend
  git send-email -v2 --to=<some mailing list> -1
I'm not sure what is needlessly annoying and absurd.

Edit with minimal configuration:

  cat ~/.gitconfig

  [user]
   email = [email protected]
   name = Your Name
  
  [sendemail]
   smtpuser = [email protected]
   smtpserver = smtp.whatever.com
   smtpserverport = 587
   smtpencryption = tls

Another great thing about those laptops is that Libreboot is supported (https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#laptops-intel-x86).

One can buy an X230 with Libreboot pre-installed at https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-x230/.

Both fronts use DJI drones[0][1], although DJI suspended its activities in both Russia and Ukraine as of April 26, 2022[2] and contractually forbids[3] any sales by dealers to either country and for combat use.

However, other actors are entering the war business, like Parrot[4].

There is no "database", it's just a bunch of GPG encrypted files synced with git. (Their default location is ~/.password-store.)

For Android there is https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S....

The only Windows client listed at https://www.passwordstore.org/#other is unmaintained.

My experience as an embedded software programmer is quite the opposite. We do care about releasing our Linux modifications under GPLv2, and we do contribute to community when it makes sense.

> see vmware

from https://lwn.net/Articles/696936/: "The court ruled that he had not provided enough specificity about the code he was claiming had been used by the company. The merits of the GPL and whether the two main parts of VMware's product constitute a derived work of the kernel were not even considered."

That doesn't seem to prove anything.

> various chinese companies

HiSilicon (https://github.com/hisilicon/linux-hisi) releases its fork.

GPL came after MIT (https://nitter.net/humphd/status/1112747178685026304)

> and it's a genuine improvement

How?
