This is a great explanation. I do hope someone picks this up because it provided a lot of value to the community.

For me, the biggest loss is the hardened Firefox-derived browser, Mull. Is Fennec with some custom settings the next best option? I know Vanadium is a good option but based on Chromium.

That tree looks very dead.

It's nearing the end of the year and I am on a better financial situation than I anticipated.

I am planning to donate to VisionZero and Movement because I am familiar with their missions and want to improve walking/cycling/bussing conditions in our region.

I don't know much about organizations addressing homelessness and ppverty and I would like to donate to groups addressing these challenges as well.

What local organizations and charities do you donate to and why? What organizations are the most important or effective at their mission?

I also really enjoy this one. However, it contains no tea leaves so not a 'true' tea. 'Tisane' or 'herbal infusion' are the more precise terms.

My film recommendation: The Florida Project. It follows a young girl and her single mother struggling to make it in Kissiimee, Florida (where Disney World is). Most of us would think living beside Disney World would be amazing but there is a darker underside of poverty. I have heard the film described as 'poverty porn' but I thought it was a fair depiction.

I love slice of life films and this is one of my favourites.

I spent the day looking for a desktop app that does this and finally found Scribus. The fact that most desktop Linux PDF readers and editors cannot do this satisfactorily does not make me hopeful that such an app exists for Android.

There is a place near me called "Indian Burger Joint" which does something like this. Super tasty and great variety of different Indian flavours and styles.

This article gives a good discussion about a potential coming East/West political split in the world of FOSS.

You make a good point. Hate must be addressed at its root.

I see hate speech censorship as important for protecting the victims/vulnerable. How can we protect these people without this censorship?

Do you have any favourite examples of how a society can fight hatred?

I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word 'censorship'.

 

Three apartment fires with one common factor.

The properties were — and still are — owned by Fu De (Henry) Ren and his wife, Fang Yan. And while the Mount Pleasant fire was determined to be accidental, the buildings and their owners had a record of multiple fire safety violations.

I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I'd say it's the first game where I've noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week.

On the other hand, I found Slay the Spire to be better on PC. The controls and smaller screen seem to get in the way a little bit more.

Any other suggestions for games that really shine on the Deck vs PC?
