"No Iran! No Hezbollah"
These are some of the chants at the anti-regime protest in Syria's southern city of Sweida today.

People calling for the fall of the regime and expulsion of occupiers.

Mozilla bought the excellent Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.

They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“

It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented.

It'd be cool if this person who has been through the wringer because she pissed off some nazis could pay her rent and get groceries. Her rent was due Sept. 24 and will be due again

I feel like if someone gets injured and traumatized in the course of defying fash, I really want them to be supported

As of this post, she's at $380/$900 with fundraising for September

Looking for browser recommendation, Boosts appreciated <3 

So, for regular Internet browsing I am fine using Firefox (although I may switch to LibreWolf).

But, I could use another browser. Something extremely lightweight, extremely quick to launch, very easy on system resources.

Basically I want something where I can just look something up super fast or go to a site or whatever.

I don't need any fancy functionalities. I don't even need multiple tabs. Just an URL bar and space to display the site. And maybe ad blocking, since that is sadly kind of necessary.

I use the newest version of Ubuntu if that's relevant.

Thank you in advance for suggestions and/or Boosts <3

I hope it gives enough of a lead to anyone who has reason to need this info.

"Placing #defibrillator pads on the chest and back, rather than the usual method of putting two on the chest, increases the odds of surviving an out-of-hospital #CardiacArrest by more than two-and-a-half times."

“... you want energy that goes from one pad to the other through the heart,” said Mohamud Daya, MD, professor of EM at the OHSU School of Medicine & corresponding author of the study."

My worst nightmare is that I am trying to present something and the computer fans start hitting max power and there is nothing I can do about it. Thanks to integrated per-component fans being handled by whatever proprietary firmware module even knows it exists, there is no current operating system that can treat all fans equally at the software level and throttle them to prevent noise. The best you can do is stop presenting, reboot, and pray that whatever was triggering the fan speed increase has stopped.

Linux users might try to say otherwise, pretending that CPU fans are the only fans that exist (fancontrol, etc), but there really isn't any way to universally adjust all fans regardless of how they are connected because they simply aren't connected the same way at the hardware level (pray to amdgpu, nvidia, to just 'handle it' with a bunch of magic thermal numbers).

y'all know that revenge isn't praxis right?
it doesn't improve people's material conditions
it doesn't make people safer
it doesn't act as deterrent
it isn't revolutionary

if you want revernge say you went revenge. if you want blood say you want blood.

like fr, y'all need to remember that even when it's "the bad guys" getting hurt

"Marxists think a person is in a state of false consciousness if her political or social interests go another way than her material or financial interests. If you adopt this view, then you probably think that the Reagan Democrats just need to be educated correctly about what they have in common with the black poor and working class. You have to think that their hatred of black people is somehow "false" simply because it runs counter to their financial interests. But this would be to ignore their interest in maintaining white supremacy and antiblack racism. One of the things white men would lose would be access to black bodies for sexual pleasure and amusement."
