Where do I get it? I literally said where, there is a Davos presentation he did. Didn’t I say that? I did not say that it was debate, it was something that he was pushing for in his speech. Find the video.

With that said, it is not like this is new. You are just unaware. Example:

https://www.wired.com/story/europe-break-encryption-leaked-document-csa-law/

"The source of the document declined to comment and requested anonymity because they were not authorized to share it.

“It is shocking to me to see Spain state outright that there should be legislation prohibiting EU-based service providers from implementing end-to-end encryption,” says Riana Pfefferkorn, a research scholar at Stanford University’s Internet Observatory in California who reviewed the document at WIRED’s request. “This document has many of the hallmarks of the eternal debate over encryption.”__**"

Also you are right, he also want so remove anonymity… for your protection, of course.

This is very true, I have learned of 1001 ways in which I can break my OS.

I fail to see how this is new news, we have known this for years now, no?

I looked at their finances --which anyone can do-- and even if Google were to remove their funding tomorrow, Mozilla still has about 2-3 years of reserve capital they can burn through. Not optimal but it is not like they will disappear in a year.

Clearly, not a position they would want to be in, but they are not disappearing overnight.

It is actually quite feasible, go check a Youtube video on the rather steep angles of a carrier on fast turning maneuvers. Like why would you think it to be not possible, I wonder?

Heck, let me find you a video or two, here you go friend:

Now imagine the plane is badly or inappropriately secured due to incompetence, or the fact that they have to maneuver unexpectedly, and voila, you have a plane that could slide off. Point being is that it could happen, unless you have some solid facts in the contrary, outside just your gut feeling.

Oh, summer child, all Administrations have done this.

It all comes down to how “techie,” you are. If you want something safe, than Debian is fine. All you have to do is not use Debian Stable and use Debian Sid. There are also many other Debian based distros that are excellent for new comers. Many are likely to recommend you Mint, which is a fine distro for people how are new to Linux.

OpenSUSE is pretty good if you are into rolling releases. Fedora is excellent if you want to be building your own apps from source and know how to use the proper flags when building. However, if you want something that is a bit faster and simpler to use, then I would suggest something else.

If you want something independent and you say that you know your way around computers then either Arch or something Arch based, so you are not going full on KISS. In the end, it all comes down to how much of a DIY system do you want and much of a system you want to just work. Do you wan it be rock solid or with a higher chance of breakage.

Personally if you want to go pure, then go Debian Sid, it is a good mix of rock solid along with some newer packages and it is way more stable --statically speaking, or sort of-- than Ach. Again, this is anecdotal as you will have a number of people say that they had been on Arch for a while without any issues. So, people’s mileage may carry.

On one of my old machines, I have been testing Q4OS and Mabox, which are Debian based and Arch based respectably and they have been border line perfect for years. Q4OS uses KDE out of the box. Mabox uses Openbox, so it might not be something you are looking for. Both are very light on resources which you can use for running all the apps you want.

However if you have copious amounts of RAM and you want something a little more known, then check out Mint, or NixOS. The latter requires a bit of a learning curve but if you already work with computers, and have no issue reading documentation then you won’t find it difficult.

Funny enough, you are looking at the countries with the most homogeneity and lesser levels of multiculturalism per capita. In this case the most white countries, like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, et al.
They all have what you are looking for. However, many of there are either fairly expensive, have less than optimal weather or have fairly strict laws, unless you are an EU member or want to ask for asylum, political or otherwise.

Like other have mentioned, at a recent WEF meeting, at DAVOS earlier in the year, the President of Spain stated that he wanted to ban encryption, or have access to encrypted services… Why? For your protection, obviously. Do a search on Youtube and you will find the video. Keep in mind the presentation is fairly long. You may be able to find a clip of it.

The UK and Germany have gone down the drain when it comes to privacy laws and they are heading straight into Big Brother or 1984 territory. No joke. So those should be avoided.

Like other have said, Uruguay and Argentina are pretty good options albeit both Argentina and Chile are not doing too well economically for now. But I do have a friend who is moving to Argentina, albeit he is fluent in Spanish so for him it won’t be hard.

Other possible options are Australia but if you think owning a home is hard in the USA, then you have seen nothing yet in Australia. New Zealand is also a good option, too although like some other countries at the top of the list, moving there can be a tad difficult Re: Red tape, albeit it is a bit easier if you are part of the Common Wealth, which I assume you are not.

I will do my good deed of the month. You seem like a prime candidate for Tab Stash. Does the same but better than Tab Groups. Check it out. You might like it.

Let me know, love it or hate it. Cheers.

Literally downloaded a new version of their alpha branch yesterday. Browser is not dead.

Or sometimes, just an authoritarian government.

Exactly. There is no such thing as rights in that context as we have seen governments take them and be force to relinquish them throughout history. Everything can be taken or revoked.

Inalienable rights are a pipe dream of idealistic, naive people who have never lived in the real world where these so-called Rights had be fought or died for.

Just look at the current state of the the UK, their PM proudly stated that 400 were arrested for posting shit online. WTF? In Germany a man was charged for calling a fat, obese politician ‘fat.’ The UK wants to become a nanny state, for your protection, you see. Same with Germany and others. They are literally and slowly coping the CCP police state model.

In the USA, in some States is now literally Illegal to NOT do business with Israel. But you want to not do business with Canada or Mexico, then go right ahead. Nobody cares. Gee, I wonder who is funding these policians, AIPAC? Yes.

So The Register is lying?

Whether people like or not, 4Chan has had a huge influence on internet culture, and thus culture as a whole. What you are really describing is just /POL or /B. 4Chan had a news, books, tech boards that nothing to do why what you are thinking.

As content, terms and memes down current into the normie internet. From all types of content. For example, the term “Slop” which I see now used as way to describe soulless, current media content is now being used by many YT content creators /, which came from 4Chan, specifically the term goyslop which is noe years old. I mean there are dozens if not hundreds of other examples. The concept of Bronnies started as a joke on 4Chan that spun out of control.

Israel’s psyops on 4chan could be to indirectly manipulate and to demoralise English speaking countries by poisoning the well. It is almost as if Israel literally does every single stereotype they claim they do not do, and will call everyone antisemitic over it. I am almost certain the push the BBC meme as to create racial tensions. It is just a devide and conquer geopolitical move. Other countries do it, too.

Cool and true advise. 95% of users or normies will literally not do that.

Linux users are less than 5% of all PC users.

I was under the impression that if a phone restarts, then you cannot use biometrics. You have to use a pin/password/etc.

I use Q4OS as it is super light but Debian based. Install KDEConnect and I run a dumb large TV as my TV and control it from my phone. If younwa5ch YT, run Freetube.

Google being evil?

Please, I pray, some one, lend me some pearls to clutch!

I still have and will continue to purchase TVs for as long as I can. Not smartTVs.

As a side note, I went to Best Buy and asked them about non-smartTVs. They literally said they had 2 models. A small, tiny TV and a larger TV which they did not have a model on the floor. They would have to bring it out or I would have to go the back.

“Even if your critism was correct…”

Either way, even me touching on the notion is enough to get downvoted. Proof is my post.

Hahaha!
