Today is International Fact- Checking Day ✔️

Independent fact-checking is more important than ever.

Critical thinking and responsible sharing are our strongest moves to counter false claims online.

Before you share:
✅ Is it from a reliable source?
🔍 Can it be verified elsewhere?
📢 Is it informing or manipulating?

I know that many of us are in precarious situations, and public demonstrations are out for a variety of reasons. So, if you can please take part in retailer boycotts. If you can avoid shopping at these places altogether, that's great, but anyone can do a day or even a week. Money matters to these people.

Here's a list of the upcoming boycotts:

Nestle: March 21-28
Walmart: April 7-14 and May 20-26
Second economic blackout: April 18
General Mills: April 21-28
Amazon: May 6-12
Target: June 3-9
McDonald's: June 24-30
Independence Day boycott: July 4

And this is probably obvious, but a list of companies Elon Musk owns, this would be a good time to make sure you aren't investing in him as much as possible:

Tesla
SpaceX
X (formerly Twitter)
Neuralink
xAI
The Boring Company

Switching from Firefox to LibreWolf

So far, it has looked like this for me:

1) Install LibreWolf: https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/

2) Find your Firefox profile: In Firefox, menu / Help / More Troubleshooting Information / Profile Directory.

3) Copy Firefox profile to LibreWolf dir: cp -r /home/neil/.mozilla/firefox/b92lfaht.default-release-1 /home/neil/.librewolf/)

4) Edit LibreWolf's profiles.ini to use the newly-copied profile

5) Restart LibreWolf

6) Start testing
