SimpleX is starting to delve into Crypto. Some may care, some may not but it is a newer development in the project.

CoMaps is the fork of Organic Maps as it was found that Organic Maps Devs were using the app in ways not intended. Mostly due to privacy, transparency and for profit issues.

Or, if one wants to go the minimalist, smallest threat footprint way, one can go in the other direction and use F-Droid Classic. Think a debloated F-Droid, made by the F-Droid folks.

From experience, if the drive starts making clicking noises, often, and it never did before, I agree, it could be a sign that the drive is starting to die.

Best practice at that point is to make a backup of vital files. No one wants to wake up one day to a dead drive without a backup.

Even now, on one my machines one of the drives is starting to switch to READ only, which usually means something is failing and the PC tries to minimize damage by switching to that. I van fix it with a chsk on terminal but I assume its days are numbered.

OP needs to backup. Just in case.

Gates hides behind his psychopathic greed and thirst for maniacal influence and power behind charity, what few people know is that the Bill’s foundation is an excellent exercise of venture philanthropy, where seeking profits comes first over everything else, at the expense of you know, philanthropy. They admit this.

It is something a lot of billionaires do, the Zuck has one, many do. They are not charities at all, in the practical sense but they are tax shelters. Gates will say that he has no day to day control, but he does help lean it where he wants it to go, plus you know who does by proxy and by earmarking the major donations? The Gates and Melinda Trust Fund. Who controls that? Bill and Melinda Gates and until a few years ago, also Buffet.

Bill is smart. He wants to make a shitload of money on vaccine tech? Sure, have the foundation give earmarked donations to the WHO that can only be used for that, then GABI, his other arm of the foundation can serve as the middle man for that cash. That’s before he invested hundreds of millions in big pharma and then what? = Profit. He does the same on education? = Profit. He pushed fake meat, invest a bit on it --relatively speaking to him-- and then, on the side, becomes the largest if not second largest farm land owner in the USA who then leases that land back to farmers. = Profit.

How come most people do not know most of this, because he also “donates” hundreds of millions to big media, you know, out the kindness of his heart. You know, so why would they report or say or rpeort anything negative of the guy? Quite the opposite. Remember Covid, why is a billionare on the news telling you what to do? Why him? Why any billionaire? Luckily, the link below tells us who they bribe, I mean, help with generous donations to their yearly budgets. And this is a couple of year old but the trend continues.

You question any of this? How dare you you? You bigot, conspiracy theorist! Admittedly, that narrative keeps most people from looking at his BS critically.

Hey, remember when people cared about the environment? Nah, Gates said that we have to focus on Energy production instead now. Wait the guy who is now heavily investing billikns in AI and power hungry data centers wants more energy? You don’t say!

Luckily for us he already had created a seeding/funding program where such initiatives will be invested on and much profit will be had on this exact front, and most will fall for it, because they always do.

Right now? It is a grift.

Price needs to come down a lot be worthwhile. Hope it does and that the tech is recyclable once it us used up. No need to continue to fill in garbage dumps.

Systemd made me bald, and killed my cat.

Nice.

Murena are not the authors of Nextcloud.

I second this, although unfortunately, the average user is not very aware of it.

Ya.

But… This is a good thing. I will take it. More FOSS awareness is great news. As long as it sticks.

Good stuff.

Uh, FreshRSS coupled with Wallabag? Or Nextcloud?

Second this.

You don’t, neither do I. why the hell are they pushing this?

It the jingling of the keys that may sound good to some investors?
