Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

@CM30 It seems you're putting some serious work into this... it looks neat.
@system76 It puts me in control, is relatively lightweight, and is developer-friendly! Just to name a few.
@royal Hmm... I got a "401 The access token is invalid" error.

@molly0xfff "Stract’s About page says “if we ever become evil (maybe by changing our motto) please take our code and start a competitor. The fact that you have this ability will make sure that our values will always be aligned with our users."
This is probably one of the top reasons why I love #OpenSource.

@SolusSpider After @ActionRetro's Haiku videos, and what he said about the state of browsers for it, I want to give it a try myself. Just need to find time and hardware for it I suppose....

The Linux desktop is a house owned by an amateur DIY home improvement person. Floor boards squeak, the back door doesn't latch unless you close it a certain way, you have to jiggle the toilet lever, and there's tape on a light switch controlling an outlet that needs constant power.
The homeowner doesn't fix these things, because they know to jiggle the lever, how to close the door. Working around these flaws has become second nature so they don't even realize they are doing it.

@kyle I'm afraid it's true. On the bright side, though, it's your house and not an apartment etc., and things like finicky doors don't stop the house from being livable. But they're still problems, especially when it comes to getting someone to live there....
@heyfluxay Good memories for sure.
@NanoRaptor Of course, I was voting in vain ;)

Take a few minutes to read this important blog post from @pluralistic. He got scammed, and he describes what happened. https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/05/cyber-dunning-kruger/#swiss-cheese-security
We're heading into a time when the scammers are gaining the upper hand, no matter how good we are at trying to avoid being taken by experts.
That's the thing: They are experts.
Get ready to do business less conveniently in the near future.

We just released critical security patches for versions 4.1, 4.2, nightly, and the already discontinued 3.5 and 4.0.
If you are using nightly, you can upgrade to the `4.3.0-nightly.2024-02-02-security` tag to get the patch.
Please upgrade as soon as possible!
