This is actually the Tails project merging with Tor. The Tor project manage Tails and not the other way around.

…shouldn't be meeting or talking to any foreign heads of state. That's the law.

It is? News to me. He can’t represent the US government without a Presidential request, but he can talk to whoever will make time for him.

OTOH, Zelenskyy does have a government to represent. As to why he would want to talk with a convicted felon, who knows?

Why do we believe anything a Russian media outlet says these days?

ETA: Finally found their About page. It says that they’re independent and now publish from Latvia. My apologies.

Apparently, it isn’t about FOSS. It’s about trademark infringement.

This isn’t typically a liberal position — at least in North America

I’d feel worse if they didn’t so richly deserve it.

The Zenkit suite may do what you want. I started using it when M$ applied E3 to Wunderlist

Those records are already protected by HIPAA, aren’t they? And Texas state courts have no jurisdiction outside the state of Texas. What’s he trying to do? Remind independents and moderate Republicans to vote for Harris?

 

I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I'm somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.

Thanks!

Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here.

The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?

 

Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.
