I hope there are some Indiana pedes willing to peacefully protest (and I mean that in the literal term spooks) outside his house and remind him daily that he is, in fact, a traitor.

My district there are teachers in the $150-200k range, with the superintendent making almost $250k. There is a gym teacher/coach making $175k. For New York pedes, there is a website with the payroll of every public employee: https://www.seethroughny.net/payrolls/. Apparently, the director of the NYC Public Library is the highest paid employee in the state, making more than even Cuomo himself, at $723k. No words.

Smartphones are similar to computers in the way they boot. The bootloader is kind of like the BIOS and GRUB, a locked one will restrict which operating systems can boot. There are ways to root a phone with a locked bootloader, depending on the phone, which then enables you to modify your current ROM (remove GApps, enable/disable startup services, etc). An unlocked bootloader enables you to install an entirely different ROM, such as LineageOS, which has all Google and cell carrier bloatware removed by default.

If you are interested in rooting/ROMs, you are going to want a phone with an unlocked bootloader. There are carrier-locked phones with open bootloaders, and carrier-unlocked phones with locked bootloaders.

Wasn't he also the guy that had info on Hillary that the FBI swept under the rug?

Right, but the difference is that DeSantis actually took office and had the ability to stop it.

I have had a project in the works for about a year now and it's almost done: a complete Windows clone running on Linux. Here is a screenshot of what I have so far. https://i.imgur.com/PIBGxU6.png I should have a public version online in a week or two.

With regards to Mozilla software, there are alternate versions to Firefox and Thunderbird that are built from source and do not contain the Mozilla BS that has been shipping in Firefox over the last 5 years. I am not the biggest fan of using Brave because of its Chromium base, which can't reliably be themed like Firefox used to be able to, and is a resource hog. I have found Pale Moon, which is essentially old Firefox with a modern HTML engine. There is also Basilisk (Firefox-52 clone using Pale Moon engine) and Waterfox (modern Firefox with BS removed and some customization restored). All of the browsers that I have mentioned have supported ad and content blocker extensions, so they can be made just as, if not more, secure than Brave.

It may sound like a joke, but it does sound like a good name for a convenience store!

I have been speaking out about Apple's absurd app store policies long before Trump even announced he was running.

Back in like 2011 or 2012, Mozilla was trying to port the Firefox engine to iOS and Apple wouldn't allow it for the sole reason that it didn't use the Apple webkit-based app HTML rendering engine, that at the time was inferior to iOS Safari of the same version. Apple's restrictions go far beyond political speech, they directly stifle technological competition.

This happened before Brendan Eich (the inventor of JavaScript, one of the founders of Mozilla. His code contributions essentially built the Netscape codebase that later evolved into Mozilla/Firefox) was forced out of the company by radical leftists. Eich later went on to create the Brave browser.

I don't think that is directed towards us

A Final Note: If you are of the opposition, know that this is not a game! Many of you are being used and you don’t even realize it. There are very serious consequences in being an accomplice to promoting and/or engaging in treasonous acts against the United States.

What are your thoughts on AOSP? I may want to stick with Android OS (degoogled) for one more phone cycle because it looks like Pinephone isn't 100% yet.
