If ads and trackers are the only things you want to block, you could consider using a PiHole, or even easier, modify the /etc/hosts file to block all the spyware hostnames, and then you can use whatever browser you want.
But the clearnet is so hopelessly broken, there's a massive need to block far more than that, like all the covAIDS propaganda (which will finally be gone soon), 3rd party JS and CSS (just fucking learn how file management works before you code!), custom fonts (browser default is the only font you need!), and other bloat.
And if you go down the /etc/hosts based blocking path, you'll quickly see bars of empty divs everywhere, because soytes reserve that space for ads, which uBlock Origin can remove those divs along with the ads.
Hell, last time I checked Mixi in a WebkitGTK browser, I was shocked by the sheer amounts of ads littered all over the page, it made their propaganda literally unreadable!
At least we have a privacy condom for that now: https://mixi.owacon.moe
And yes, owacon.moe is the new domain specifically for privacy condoms hosted by 076.
Illumos has a COCk, so already it has been subverted to the woke hate mob.
It really seems like OpenBSD is the only Unix OS left that doesn't have a COCk.
And perhaps macOS, but it's mixed source, and the base system (FreeBSD) has a COCk.
When it comes to non-Unix, TempleOS and FreeDOS seem to be the ones without a COCk.
Not sure about XFDOS (which if FreeDOS with a GUI), SoyceForge is just insanely hard to navigate through.

Yea sure, it's TOTALLY not the fault of your own mismanagement of the economy and monthly mass layoffs at big tech, it's TOTALLY the fault of "crazy conspiracy nutcases"...
I kind of expect forks of Ubuntu switching over to Debian or Devuan in droves, which we're already seeing more and more of.
Because Canonical makes so many bad decissions (and keep doubling down on that too with every new LTS release), there are literally "beginner friendly" distro's out there based on Ubuntu, who have to waste so much time and energy removing all the crap nobody wants every single time, perhaps Mint and Pop OS will continue to be Ubuntu forks for a few more years since they have much bigger teams, but the smaller forks like Vanilla OS for example went like "fuck it, we'll be based off Debian instead of Ubuntu from now on!".
As I already stated in my blog post, even with Brave, Goolag still has the power to make them dump V2 by making it as much of a hassle to implement it back in again and again for example.
The only way out in the long term would be to fork the browser, and just continue development independently from upstream, but unless they master the entire Blink soyce code (good luck with that!), I won't see them doing that anytime soon.
Both Chromium and Furryfox still support V2, but Goolag has already stopped accepting V2 extensions to be submitted into their extension store earlier this year, and they're set to completely delete V2 by the beginning of next year, no wait, by summer of this year.
This is why uBlock Origin and uMatrix still work for now, but won't be for long.
Especially uMatrix because that one is no longer maintained, but uBlock Origin has a "lite" version designed for V3, which even the developer himself admits is way less powerful than the regular one, which is V2 only.
CHAINA!! threatening Taiwan is just a yearly tradition similar to Pride Month (soon to become Shame Month) in the west; lots of virtue signalling, the entire world responds with either support or opposition, and no actual action.
So every time I hear that Xi is threatening to invade Taiwan, I'm just like "yea, I know I know, it's that time of the year again...".
And I don't think the world has to fear CHAINA!!, it's a country that can't even manage to win wars within their own borders, and a country that has historically had a very hard time keeping itself together, plus it's a civilization of merchants, not warriors.
Japan joining BRICS+ would actually be a good idea I believe.
It makes more sense for Japan (and also Korea and Taiwan for that matter) to seek cooperation within the region in which shares has civilizational roots and history with rather than subversion by far away lands that's vastly different in every aspect.
Plus with the rebirth of civilization states (multipolar world) rather than a 1 world government (unipolar world) that exists since the fall of the Soyviet Union (used to be a bipolar world after WWII), and Japan having (kept on to) a foundation for that, which the west have long abolished, I don't see anything negative in the idea of Japan cooperating with the BRICS.
It does mean there are 2 major obstacles, because with the exception of Brazil, the current BRICS countries are all enemies of western powers, and it means that Japan needs to cut itself off from the American empire, which might mean we'd get nuke striked again, though perhaps that's not a worry anymore now that western armies in general are hopelessly woke and rapidly enlisting unfit people to the point they're (accidentally) pushing out all their actually strong men.
While highly pessimistic/defeatist people still believe we're in the "weak men create bad times" phase, everything points to the fact we're actually in the "bad times create strong men" phase, or at least at the onset of it.
Yes, I have a history of travelling throughout Asia, Europe, and Africa, sometimes even for months (until my visa expired), sometimes for vacation, sometimes for business, so yes I have seen how the internals are being handled first hand.
I think a confrontation between him and Theo de Raadt would be more interesting, at least if Theo even bothers joining any communication channel at all.
Oh, that's what you meant!
Maybe the reason why I can say that is because I'm not in Germany (or anywhere else in Europe), and even though Asian governments generally are very tyrannical on paper, in practise as long as you don't speak ill of the king (or otherwise be considered a threat to the ruling government) and don't use drugs, they don't actually care.
Though in Japan there's the additional factor of as long as you won't appear in the fake news media, you're not a target at all.
Which brings us back to the importance of practising proper OPSEC.
Oh, looks like Linus Torvalds just joined Fedi: @torvalds
Surprisingly a very rare case of a late (post-Musk) Twitter convert to not be using Mastodon.
> it was just simply about those that (feel) benefited will defend the system while those that didn't (feel) benefited will attack against.
You can as well be benefited by the system while feeling like you're being oppressed by it, which I guess is what's going on here.
For example, people on state handouts trying to find work, but keep getting declined: "THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST ME!!"
Or something more on topic, people on state handouts and being provided by parents, and all that might as well have mental issues, and will come to the conclusion that "money destroys everything", even though they get it all for free (not as much as if they had to work for it, but still).
> Why is it "the only"?
My observation of reality.
You won't see people in a 3rd world shithole saying "money is evil" and "fuck capitalism (or any other ideology/religion/cult)" all day long, you see this exclusively in the 1st world, where state handouts exist.
And just to make it clear, 3rd worlders neither defend nor attack (to put it in your words) the system, they have way more important things to do like survival.
And I've actually been to multiple 3rd world countries before.
> Also you can't eat money as food or for other practical use.
Unless you use food as your money (aka, bartering).
Because "money" doesn't necessarily need to be printed on paper or minted from metal, as long as the soyciety around you agrees on what money is, you can use it as a money, which is actually how it worked even before banks.
"I want 10 eggs" "I want the belly of a freshly hunted pig" "Deal!"
If you're the one with 10 eggs, then eggs is your money, and the pig belly is your product.
And the other way around for the other party.
That's why realistically, this whole idea of "abolish the monetary system" is purely a Marxist fantasy.
Even in places where they tried to abolish it, they soon had another monetary system in place, maybe not because the government didn't want to, but simply because that's how humans work.
> To eat (and do any other stuff) someone have to do the physical work, unless you exchange it with money.
And then the question is, how was this money obtained?
By physical work? White collar work? Somebody just gave it to you? By stealing? By trade?
> If money is evil (evil so that it should be abolished), can they achieve it without work?
I wonder if there are any cases of laziness paying off in the long term.
I don't mean things like "I'll build systems to automate the agriculture for me", but rather "I'll just sit on my couch and wait for an Amazon drone to deliver freshly picked food for me".
Also, while you're pointing out which part I supposedly sound like TV, make sure you include evidence to back it up, whether as a video clip or an audio recording or whatever.
