I always wonder if I could act heroically if put in a situation that required it. We know some people definitely have the capacity.

This episode is based on a post I wrote in a moment of doubt and confusion about humanity on the day of Alexei Navalny's death in prison. #Russia #Putin #Ukraine

WHAT CAN ONE PERSON DO? Alexei Navalny

Honoring Alexei Navalny's legacy and the power of individual resistance against oppression.

i don’t post a lot of personal stuff here but I want to say

a) in september 2024 I had a mild case of covid and I spent almost a year dealing with the fatigue
b) dealing with mysterious health stuff is hard and scary and I wish the best to anyone else who is in the middle of something like that
c) right now things are much better and I’m so grateful I can easily do things like “walk 30 minutes to the store” again
d) the best thing I did was talk to doctors even if it was frustrating sometimes

This is how I feel about Firefox too. There's no alternative. No, really, Librewolf is Firefox, who exactly do you think you're sticking it to? And Vivaldi is a proprietary browser built on Google's engine, you're sticking it to nobody but yourself. Oh, you're switching to Servo? Not this decade you're not.

Mozilla CEOs have always been incompetent, but there's no other alternative outside of the direct control of people who are many orders of magnitude worse. We support Firefox or we lose the web.

I don't think I'll stop using Firefox anytime soon.
Yes, their management are fucking idiots and it's annoying that I'll have to disable new AI features whenever they release them..

But the alternative is to use something Chromium-based, which would make Google's domination of web technology absolute - and Google is 100x more evil than Mozilla ever could be.

I hope this fucking bubble pops before Mozilla fucks up Firefox so badly that it becomes completely unusable

Check out this thread and realize that once Microsoft invented software (Recall) that can continuously scan a computer screen and semantically parse everything you're doing with it, it was inevitable that a government would attempt to make this technology mandatory https://mastodon.online/@mullvadnet/115747292179816100
Mullvad VPN (@mullvadnet@mastodon.online)

Once again, they use “what about the children”, this time to install state spyware that would continuously scan every action on a phone or tablet and watch everything that is shown on the screen. This will effectively ban end-to-end encrypted communication and open source operating systems like GrapheneOS and forbid that people have administrator rights on their own devices. 2/4
