Shut up, you can’t take the sky from me

• Spotify -> Bandcamp. ~80% of the proceeds go to the artists, last I’ve heard. Also, FLAC downloads, and a streaming app.
• Gmail -> mailbox.org. It’s a bit pricey at 2,50€/month, but that gets you 4(IIRC) family accounts at no additional costs and servers hosted in Germany. Email is the one service I’m gladly paying for. Tried hosting email myself once; it’s horseshit.
• Whatsapp -> Signal (and Whatsapp, sigh). I donate 5€/month. This is money I consider well spent to keep Signal running.
• I once paid a hundred bucks for the big ol’ Osmand+ update, back when I still had Google Play. Money well spent for a good project.
• Some Github sponsoring here and there, mostly for Android bread ‘n’ butter apps, such as a PDF reader, a good music player with Opus support, a FOSS email app, and – last but not least – Öffi.
• Some irregular donations to the KeePassXC and Paperless-NGX developers.

I would like everyone who has ever donated to FOSS software developers to consider that ‘money spent to avoid Big Tech’. You’re doing a good thing.

As a European, that first paragraph is wild:

The U.S. State Department is developing an online portal that will enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments including alleged hate speech and terrorist propaganda, a move Washington views as a way to counter censorship, three sources familiar with the plan said.

I mean, I get what they’re trying to say here, but the author’s opinion does shine through a teeny tiny bit.

I chose an NYPost article for the simple reason that even a conservative rag identified the culprit as a Trump fan. I am aware that the ‘alleged’ in the title and in the article is the typical load of partisan horseshit.

This comes right on the heels of Trump claiming that Mrs. Omar ‘sprayed herself.’

Larry Ellison will lose billions on this.

So what? He can generate more. Money has gravity. So does influence.

He is such a fucking CHILD omg

You’re right, sorry for the oversight, I added one now. (I just used Firefox reader mode.)

Hahaha what a loser

I read it to our (at the time) 12 year-old when she had trouble sleeping. Didn’t help, go figure. With my hindsight glasses on, I guess I could have picked a better book for that particular problem.

Multiple times.

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

We shouldn’t have killed the fucking gorillla, that’s what’s going on.

We shouldn’t have killed the fucking gorilla, man.

I was thinking audio plugins. “I like Ratatouille very much thanks”

You apparently don’t even have a checking account, Mike. On these matters, I trust you as far as I can throw you. Which isn’t very far, by the way; I’m not that fit.

Yeah, that was… something. Felt a smidgen of my soul leave my body at that point. Hegseth ordered people killed in cold blood and all you got was “won’t matter anyways?” What is wrong with you, Jefferies?
