God why are people here so obsessed with optional telemetry. Fedora aren't selling your secrets to advertiser's, they are just trying to create a better experience for users, and you can always opt out.
Has it ever occured to you that it is also good to give back to the open source community?
Pinterest.
Glad to see this has made it into the browser! This has been a 🇪🇺 funded project for years now!
Parliament's position on the proposed law will now be against chat control, but the fight is not over: next we have to negotiate with member states. It's vital we keep the pressure on governments to end this madness.
You are asking the wrong question, my friend. You should be asking what doesn't systemd do?
Gonna come out with a controvertial take here, but I am actually fine with anonymised usage stats/telemetry if they are solely designed to improve the product, and as long as there is an opt-out. Many people are get furious about telemetry in firefox or distros, but when i ask what their precise issue is with it, can give no answer.
Sending these stats is also a contribution to the projects that help improve software.
Using it as an adjective in some cases is fine, never use it as a noun, unfortunately due to assholes using it that way it now has a negative conotation.
From now on I'm only refering to arch as "the nerd OS"
Don't take down your Christmas lights (inside at least). Make hot chocolate at home, create rituals for yourself
Belgium actually wanted this plant built
Because, to put it crudely, the EU just reminded cooperations they are not in charge
Gaza is not Israeli airspace.
Circumcision is immoral, religion can be a serious social harm, the use of AI in art should be prohibited or at least frowned upon
The EU (and it's member states) have sent almost double the amount of funding the US has.

But to shoot down other counties aircraft over Gaza would be to make the political statement that it is their airspace, which Is unacceptable
Mfw my bug report is open on the videos lol
In the EU we are already working on just that.
I used to run Manjaro, and I can't recommend it for a new user. While the UX is user friendly, the distro itself is not. Ive very often had upgrade and update issues that i have wasted days fixing.
I'd instead recommend fedora workstation as a non-ubuntu option
Drip is a good option. Funded by Mozilla and German Govt

The article you sent me is totally absurd and shows a complete lack of understanding or will to understand.
Librewolf and Arkenfox exist for the exact same reason this article exists: unbridled paranoia. They are actually by fat less secure than Firefox because of the risk of a compromised build chain which is lesser for an established browser.
The first example of "phoning home" your article gives is merely the get request Firefox uses to check if you are online and redirect you to a login portal if you are on shared WiFi.
The article also then makes a complaint about Firefox making requests to the sites you visit most frequently, which maked absolutely no sense, because if you visit them so frequently that then end up in your new page, then what is the problem with Firefox preloading the content?
On Google analytics, it is not part of the browser, but just used on Mozilla's website with an explicit exemption from Google not to use that data.
The "safebrowsing" requests are to download the list of known malware sites in order to keep you safe. They are not used for tracking.
The health report telemetry is the only thing that could be vaguely construed as actually being problematic, but it literally collects no personal data and is used to improve the browser.
Finally, the entire paragraph about pocket is bullshit: or course, if you create an account and start saving web pages to pocket then it is going to be stored on pocket's servers... What would you expect? The solution is simple: Just don't use pocket, nobody is forcing you to.
It is infuriating to see these lies repeatedly perpetuated online by people who have no understanding of what they are criticizing
None of the points mentioned even vaguely constitute a threat to user privacy.
To make matters worse they actually weaken users security by driving them to forks that risk them not recieving timely security updates.
Security, Stability
Yes, but if you intend to mainly use flatpak you might want to try fedora Silverblue
I've been contributing a lot via StreetComplete, what is also great is that you can use OSM offline!
Few of the recommendations here are good for general use. I'd recommend fedora silverblue
Weirdly most of Europe is experiencing aurora rn
Reading this gave me an aneurism
Slax and puppy on a 128mb usb that i would take with me to school to test
Yep, we will, because it is in our interest. It is also in the US's interest, but unfortunately some are too short sighted to see this.

I went from being my partner's life, with all the stress for me, and jealousy/insecurity for her, to a relationship where each or us have our own lives but choose to share them.

The OS for masochists?
Dell's current lineup is not to expensive (≈400) and runs Linux well
The latest text has not yet been released, but when it is you will see a separation between Identification and Encryption. It is also clearly stated that browsers are allowed to do whatever they want regarding recognition of CAs for encryption. tl;dr the status quo for encryption (linking a domain to a server) does not change, browsers will only be forced to recognise identity (linking a organisation to a server). This will force a re-engineering of QWACs/EV certs in general in favour of something like ntqwacs.
We have to wait and see for eIDAS, let's hope with the changes to eIDAS dead, we'll have at least a few years of the Commission not proposing some dumb surveillance shit

I don't think the DE itself matters, but I can recommend using an immutable OS (makes it harder to install malware) and installing flatpak apps only. You can also use software like flatseal to further lock down permissions
This will be over soon. When the EU's Data Act comes into force, car manufacturers will be obliged to allow access to vehicle data.
