No she isn’t, she’s launching a propaganda tool and/or a scam. Don’t give her free advertising. Ignore it and move on.

FYI it can take up to 3 years to bring enough nutrients and biodiversity to a patch of land to get really decent harvests, so if you haven’t started already now is the time to. Good luck, and may your potato harvests be bountiful!

Heard via propaganda designed to scare people into not voting for independence.

Do you honestly think a developed country of 5.5 million people is just going to crumble and collapse? A country which made damn sure the EU knew it was dragged out against its will and the EU has responded by saying they’d be welcome with open arms.

Edinburgh and Glasgow are both international cultural and financial hubs with the Fringe, many large financial institutions, and more bands and gig venues than you can shake a stick at. Dundee exists. Aberdeen has a fuckton of engineers and universities and they’re skill transitioning from oil to renewables. Aberdeenshire has both Europe’s largest cattle and fish markets, and Inverness is the gateway to Highland tourism and also an agricultural hub.

With the inevitability of climate change marching on we’re also well positioned, with just Loch Ness on its own having more water than all of England and Wales combined and our famously cold climate becoming less so each year. Obviously in the grand scheme of things for humanity climate change is awful but Scotland is probably one of the better places to be during it.

Why are border police looking through phone messages?

Why/how are they even able to do that?

Arrested for protesting, keeping their head down, or trying to live their life outside of mainstream capitalist society is my guess.

The left have been the targets of successive governments and vested interests, in most countries, for over 100 years. No wonder it’s dead. Not to mention the infighting. Some of which I’m sure is natural but some of which will be instigated by those same governments and vested interests.

Ah, I see, you’re a contrarian who just wants an argument. That’s not really my bag so this will be my last message.

Yes, the likelihood of the average person downloading Librewolf is slim. Using or not using Librewolf doesn’t make someone lazy. Not reading and toggling every setting in Firefox doesn’t make someone lazy either.

You’ve just explained that to make Firefox secure you need to watch some video of someone that you hope knows what they’re talking about. What if they miss something? What if they’re talking shit? I know, shocking, people lying on the internet, but it happens.

Firefox is a big name browser used by many people of varying backgrounds and technical ability. It should be secure by default. It is not. Librewolf I recommended to anyone reading this thread, which is probably someone tech savvy enough to try a different browser. But not all people are that tech savvy.

The root issue is Firefox not being secure by default. If there was no profit motive for Mozilla it likely would be.

The problem is not laziness, that’s what a nerd whose hobby is computers would do. The average person is not searching for videos to learn how to toggle the settings of their web browser, ffs. Firefox should be secure by default.

That asterisk is a problem though, having to go through and make it secure is an issue. What if you miss a setting? What if you misunderstand a setting? None of it is particularly upfront and easy. It doesn’t ask you when you first install it to set this stuff up, it encourages you to just get stuck in and start using it straight away.

It’s not too complicated for a nerd whose hobby is computers or someone who has studied computers, but for the layperson it’s too much.

That’s why Librewolf is so good. It’s secure by default, with all the settings toggled to privacy and you can ease that off if you wish, for convenience or whatever.

Firefox essentially can’t seem to decide if they want to be FOSS or capitalist, that’s an issue.

Aye, the males.

The females have shorter right legs. It’s hypothesised that this evolved because it prevents them from going round and round the mountains in the same direction, but at opposite sides, never finding a mate

From a usability perspective it’s not as good as Firefox. But from a privacy stand point it’s much better.

What I mean about usability is that due to it trying to prevent you from being fingerprinted it opens the browser in the same size window everytime, regardless of whether you prefer maximised or not. It has dark mode turned off. It doesn’t remember cookies unless you explicitly manually add an exception. From a privacy perspective these are all good things but for convenience they’re not.

All of these mild inconveniences can however be turned off if you wish. Just be aware you won’t be browsing as securely then though.

As a Firefox replacement in all other regards, it’s pretty much the same software. No, it is the same software.

If you use Linux and a password manager you may have an issue getting flatpaks to speak to each other and you also may have to move a folder from .mozilla to .librewolf to get them to speak to each other. These are easily searchable issues if you have them with simple fixes though.

In all other regards, to me at least, it feels just like Firefox

If by explaining you mean hand waving and saying it’s fine because it’s in legal jargon instead of plain English then sure, you did a great job of explaining 👍

Holy wild speculation pulled right out of your arse, Batman!

Scroll down to Excessive Executive Pay.

Mozilla has zero financial issues. Mozilla is a non-profit that is actively investing, and receiving dividends and interest in return. A nonprofit that is generating millions in revenue for essentially nothing and paying their executives fat stacks. They have zero reason to need to do this beyond greed and disregard for their user base.

With Meta, Google, Amazon, and Apple on board the fascist train I don’t think the people will see. The revolution will not be televised because algorithms will filter it from our news feeds.

That’s why the Fediverse is so important but even if it succeeds and people can communicate freely we need to then worry about AI generated propaganda flooding and poisoning the well. Whether that be text, images, or videos

I’m not optimistic, but, there’s still a glimmer of hope deep down inside somewhere

It’s a real cover https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/edition/not-again/

Oh legalese! The language used to explicitly state what people can and cannot do, specifically stating they can do what they want? Oh that’s okay then. If it were in plain English I would be worried.

Something doesn’t add up.

How do system wide ad blocking on Android?

I thought I recognised your username. To clarify, again, avoiding the news is not avoiding politics. Politics is everything.

How you interact with friends and family is politics. How you pay for your groceries and where you buy them from is politics.

You’re avoiding the news. Theatre. You’re not avoiding politics. Saying you’re avoiding politics is like saying you’re avoiding philosophy or science, you can’t.

But sure, have your victim complex and say that people get real mad at you, that’s fine.
