The base os is immutable, but you can still change configuration files, compile and install local software (but not in the immutable directories), install desktop environment extensions, add custom repositories, etc. You can also layer packages, but most graphical software is best installed as flatpaks (but not mandatory). So it depends on what tinkering means for you. If it means messing around with binaries in the default locations, like /usr/bin, then it’s not for you, but for many other things there is a way, it’s just a matter of getting used to the separation between the immutable base layer and the things that you build around and on top of it.

This is the golden combo in my opinion. uBlock Origin is an excellent adblocker and it works best with Firefox. The built-in privacy features of Firefox are also decent, even when left at the default settings.
What’s wrong with Firefox + uBlock Origin?
I might be wrong, as I’ve never used Brave, but isn’t it the case that they remove ads from the actual content owners and replace them with their own ads, basically monetizing other people’s content? I block all ads in my browser, don’t get me wrong, but what Brave is doing seems a bit shady to me.
In the Netherlands it’s now mandatory to use the lowest price of the previous 30 days as the base price. I believe that it’s based on EU legislation that will follow. I noticed yesterday that amazon.nl still ignores this and uses the “suggested retail price” instead (even if they’ve never used it).
It works for me, but you have to enable it first in the account settings, if you haven’t done that yet.
Die kans lijkt groter dan ooit, maar persoonlijk zit ik ook niet te wachten op BBB als grootste partij.
Your title too :)
Doesn’t that also burden any fediverse instance that’s federated with it? Or is Threads not federated (yet)?
I thought for a second that the top one was an e-ink price tag, which would’ve been even dumber.
I’m not sure if it matters if the software is open source and if politics do not interfere with the development of the software. Even less so because the devs don’t control the federated instances outside of their own instance. I’m sure I don’t agree with a lot of developers of software that I use on a daily basis and I actually don’t really care, as long as it’s not actively harming people or limit how I use the software.
That being said, I don’t know much about them and I might be unaware of some really serious things that they’ve said or done that might change my mind.
In my country the act of escaping from prison is not punishable (doing illegal things while escaping is). I’ve never realized that that’s not the case in all countries. Escaping is considered to be a natural act of pursuing freedom and it’s the task of the prison system to keep it from happening.
