If you’re looking for an EU alternative to AzireVPN since they’ve now sold to a US company (why, hello, Trump presidency, how goes?), see Mullvad VPN (@mullvadnet).
@starlabssystems That's disappointing. I was getting all excited that it was back in stock. I will wait patiently for the full real announcement and it's really in stock.
Does this mean the Star Fighter is now available? But what/why is that wait time so long. @starlabssystems

@aral Small Web will be a game changer over the Big Web. Once it's full developed and adopted as a standard alternative products/services vs the Surveillance capitalism mainstream web.
@aral Fair enough. Just thought I mention it since Cosmic is a brand new DE made from scratch. Not sure if will make a different but hear a post from their blog. About the updates and features for alpha 3 of Cosmic.
@starlabssystems Hopefully it will be huge upgrade over the previous one. Hardware and privacy wise.
@aral The just add screen reader support with their recent alpha version. If that changes anything.
@aral I know your not a big fan of System 76. But what do you think about Cosmic as a new Linux DE?

KDE Neon has been rebased on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS! Find out more about the changes and upgrades: blog.neon.kde.org/2024/10/10/kde-neon-rebased-on-ubuntu-24-04-lts/
@aral Both are the same level of evil at this point. And can't be trusted anymore.
@starlabssystems Any plan to bring the Star Fighter back in stock or is it permanently sold out?
@aral @starlabssystems This device reveal at Akademy between the collaboration between
@kde and Slimbook seems also a great devices for KDE.

NO.
This is so confusing. There are many free things where you are not "the product". We make many, see tromsite.com and trom.tf.
I wish people would stop saying this about google and the like. There is a simple and to the point way of describing these "free" services. They are TRADE-BASED. You have to trade something to them, in order to use their services.
In the same way that when you go to a supermarket you have to trade your currency for what you grab from it, you have to trade your attention (ads) or data to Google when you go on their platform. Currency, attention, data.
S I M P L E
We live in a TRADE-BASED society where pretty much everything is trade-based. Money is just a currency we invented, but trades go without currency as well.
We spent more than a decade trying to shed some light on this confusion.
Documentary - tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…
Book - tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-t…
So when you create something entirely free, simply call it TRADE-FREE.
S I M P L E :)

@trom What about your YouTube instances or trying a Piped instances?
@aral Never heard of those distro but they sound interesting. Is there a reason you prefer RPM distro over other family of based distro?
@aral Have you consider the distro Solus as an replacement for Fedora?
