Fedora KDE, Kinoite, or Nobara could all be of interest to you

Agreed, have you tried Dearrow? It’s from the person who created SponsorBlock and is a crowdsourced way to get rid of the clickbait

I can only speak towards the 12th gen intel model but everything worked perfectly for me. I referred to their guide for fedora to get the necessary kernel parameters for the backlight keys and services for the fingerprint reader but it works flawlessly. I also recommend one of the community sound profiles to help with the speaker response if you have time to tinker with that

Such a huge step to finally ridding ourselves of that garbage proprietary driver stack. There’s still so much work to do but hats off to the team!

I use Mozilla VPN, which is just Mullvad but more expensive. I want to support Mozilla though and enjoy the integration with my multi account containers so i stick with it

I completely agree, but don’t forget that WebKit exists too on Mac and Linux with about the same market share as Firefox (at least based on w3school’s stats). Chrome/Blink dominate but all hope is not lost and there are more options, they’re just small. I think focusing on embracing Firefox/Gecko as it has so much momentum and community already is the most productive way forward though

Wait have u not gotten your XiBucks yet?

Capitalism is a socioeconomic system in which private individuals (capitalists) own the means of production and employ others to work them. The employer exploits the employed through wage labor, a system in which the surplus value of a laborer is taken as profit for the capitalist. Capitalism is often characterized by market relations and generalized commodity production, but there are always exceptions as in any system.

I wear one every day with only a few exceptions (lab work for university where it’s impractical and I’m only around a few people anyway). I have seen the effects of long Covid on my loved ones, and i want nothing to do with that. Still haven’t caught COVID this far in, and while I think my vaccinations have been effective it makes me uncomfortable that we aren’t continuing to boost and that most people haven’t had a fresh vaccine in a few years at this point. Waning efficacy is a real thing and many never got boosted at all

China's approach towards foreign policy in the modern day is strict non-interventionism and win-win cooperation, which includes working with unsavory governments. They want to establish allies and trading partners to build their belt and road initiative which undermines old imperialist economic structures. While China is doing something progressive here, they have chosen to strictly respect international law wherever possible while constructing this project to prevent any imperialist powers from finding an excuse to sanction them/wage war/etc. This is why they end up working with reactionary governments, to build partnerships which allow them to create a successful and wide-ranging alternative system of international trade which undermines the old economic order to create the conditions for a less exploitative, mutually beneficial world.

While this model is less directly revolutionary than that of the USSR, which aided revolutionaries abroad quite directly, it is still a form of mutual aid to the existing revolutions and provides greater flexibility for the imperial periphery to seek independent economic policy without as great of a threat of sanction or invasion. China is doing everything it can to prevent the isolation and proxy wars that the Soviets and their allies faced during the first Cold War, but still supporting AES countries with their trade deals and infrastructure aid projects etc

Sorry if this is a roundabout way of answering your question but I think addressing the roots of these sorts of relationships is more important than this particular instance, because it also explains China's actions in other nations such as the Phillipines
