Firefox Beta is for anyone who wants to use a version 1 month ahead of the latest stable Firefox version, and AFAIK it doesn’t have more telemetry than stable Firefox versions.
Regardless, you can disable telemetry and studies by setting some preferences in about:config (or a user.js file):
The most obvious possibility is AOC. In that case I am sure she’ll move even further right and get totally ratfucked by the party regardless. That’s the most jokerified option, I think. At the very least, her obvious ratfucking will push many more people to the left like the Bernie campaigns did....

Jan 6th made him the worst, say what you want about Buchanan or Jackson but at least they did their atrocities within the system they were elected to uphold.
“Say what you want about genocides, at least they weren’t Jan 6”
The author seems to be upset that a Google accessory doesn’t work with a non-Google phone, because they expect Android to just mean Android. If you don’t want to be locked into Google hardware, buy an Android phone from literally anyone except Google
What Linux distro do you use? What do you use it for?
Arch Linux, it’s the most maintainable way to run the last versions of the software on my machine, which is useful to me as a developer.
What is your experience with it?
Breakage is rare. When it does happen, though, I can easily unbreak it by downgrading whichever single package lead to the breakage and its dependencies, and adding them to a IgnorePkg directive in my /etc/pacman.conf.
Occasionally, I need to watch out for configuration files installed as .pacnew and upgrade my existing configuration to the new version (usually, it’s only comments that have changed between the current conf version and the .pacnew one, so nothing to do).
Besides that, it works pretty much flawlessly. Arch Linux doesn’t patronize you with a “Don’t worry about that, we’ll handle it for you” attitude like Ubuntu, Fedora, or macOS. And there is no lower-effort way than Arch Linux to run the latest version of all software you have installed.
Why did you switch to Linux?
As a developer, I needed a *nix environment, but my workplace only gave me Windows. Cygwin was a pain to configure, required converting between Windows paths and Cygwin paths every step of the way in order to interoperate with my Windows environment (this was before WSL), and Windows-style line endings made my terminal look weird with some frequency.
I didn’t start with Arch right away, I started with Antergos (a now discontinued Arch installer), which set things up initially and let me work with it from there. Importantly, it didn’t involve a completely separate package manager like Manjaro. If you want to use Arch, don’t start with Manjaro, because if you do, you will probably stay on Manjaro. A list of Arch-based distros is here, if you want to take this approach (Warning: Some people use an Arch installer, which is initially easy, accidentally break everything on an upgrade, and are unable to get it working again, so only do this if you’re committed to fixing your own problems).

I’m not talking about the technical rules of legal moves when your king is checked. I’m talking about when there’s checkmate and the victor and the loser are set in stone.

Announcing when the enemy’s king is in danger is a mistake. We should stop telling people when they’re in check, shouldn’t correct each other if they put their king into check, and you win by taking their king

The developments come one year after tensions between the U.S. and China ratcheted to new heights after a Chinese balloon carrying sophisticated spying equipment flew over the continental U.S. for several days.
Even a year later, they haven’t abandoned the narrative that it was designed to intercept valuable US intel, such as the weather
Alternatively, if you use the LibRedirect Firefox addon, you can simply go to the Twitter section, click Ping instances, and only add instances that come back as healthy as favorite instances.
All of the password managers they listed store your passwords on their servers, and you’re supposed to hope that their encryption is good enough that the hackers won’t decrypt your password the next time they get hacked (like LastPass, for example).
KeePassXC doesn’t store passwords in any “cloud”, it’s on your computer/phone only and nowhere else. It’s also FOSS
