@brave Most definitely NoScript.

@En_Senada69 I've been sober for almost 15 years, without even trying. If I can do it, so can you!

[Ian LeCorbeau @IanLeCorbeau]

@En_Senada69 Agree, although back in the day, LXDE was my absolute favorite.

Been configuring xfce for my music production machine (I'd rather use a DE instead of a WM for that purpose) and I have to say, it's even better than I remembered.

The GrapheneOS team has said that “France isn’t a safe country for open source privacy projects,” pointing to what it describes as the expectations of encryption backdoors.

Last week, it announced it has removed all servers from France.

Fun fact, the g in gmail stands for "gatherin' ur data"

For the fun of it, I ordered a Gretsch Streamliner Jet Club guitar (2 pickups version) because it was beautiful and very low price, and I have to say, this is the best guitar I've ever had the pleasure to play.

Gretsch's guitar and bass necks are criminally underrated.

@En_Senada69 I'll ship you a container!

Million dollar idea: "relaxatives". A muscle relaxant AND a laxative all in one!

@scheminglunatic @sampocino I'm only a threat with my clothes on anyway!

Open the door, buck naked with a cooking pot on my head.

What would you do if we came to your door?

@devabram @onehappyfellow I don't doubt it for a second!

Anyone claiming that surveillance will stop bad people from doing bad things is either lying, or stupid. When people commit crimes, they usually don't think about the consequences, or think they can get away with it.

Spying is meant to control good people, not stop the bad ones.

[Naomi Brockwell priv/acc @naomibrockwell]

“People will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly watching/recording everything.”

A breathtakingly naïve response to surveillance/digital IDs. It assumes govt is always benevolent & its rules always just.
History shows the opposite.
It's a fast-track to tyranny.

We added a Wise Quick Pay link for the GrapheneOS Foundation as another donation option. This enables donating money without fees from anywhere Wise is available instead of only local bank transfers in the EU/SEPA, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hungary and Turkey.

Wise charges us a small fee for receiving local bank transfers (0.72 USD, 0.61 EUR, etc.) and it's free for Canada. Their fee for international bank transfers is much higher (6.11 USD, 2.39 EUR, 6.11 CAD, etc.) and would usually have a cost on the sending side too, although we could still list it.

For a full list of the donation options, see https://t.co/QJSCrdYxui. We could add the additional option of international bank transfers but it would only make sense for large donations. We're not currently listing it since we don't want people donating $20 through a method where we would lose 30%.
