  • That shouldn’t matter. This is a huge gripe I have with FOSS in its current state. Most of the freedom/privacy/security respecting apps are not noob friendly. They are designed for tech bros and you have to download them from a git instance or F-Droid. Freedom is a human right. It should not be gatekept to the technology savy.

    This is why I love the Signal Foundation. They have truly beautifully written software and they have easy to follow UX. Anyone can enjoy the added benefits to their freedoms, security, and privacy without ever having to think about it.



  • I’m actually Sikh, but I would assume that Muslims, Christians, and Atheists alike, also share basic human values like don’t give money to companies that use child labor, sell weapons to terrorits, encourage dangerous addictions, etc. I don’t really care if the ETF is targeted towards a specific religion or not. My main gripe would be seeing their stock exclusion list for haram stocks are based on generic human values and not banning companies that sell pork for example.

    I did a bit of research online and think EVIF might be what I’m looking for.

    Maybe using the word Halal and Haram was confusing since those are Arab words so mostly used by Muslims and Christians.








  • Old man yells at cloud.

    I remember the “ban calculators” back in the day. “Kids won’t be able to learn math if the calculator does all the calculations for them!”

    The solution to almost anything disruptive is regulation, not a ban. Use AI in times when it can be a leaning tool, and re-design school to be resilient to AI when it would not enhance learning. Have more open discussions in class for a start instead of handing kids a sheet of homework that can be done by AI when the kid gets home.
