  • Interesting, but I already use the Portmaster, which do the same and more (also FOSS). It offers also an SPN (improved VPN) as option, it's a paid service. Anyway it's always good to use this and similar apps on the PC, in Mobile maybe InVizible Pro (F-Droid version please).

  • Well, if because of the greed of the company they exceeds the max 20% of the blood, need to be controlled by law, in an liquid more expensive than Gold.

  • The content of a bottle is from a lot of animals. There is not much blood from each animal, 20% blood is extracted and then the animal marked and released again until they recover. They are too valuable to kill them in this process. There are videos about this.

  • They are the worse, period

  • Apart this Horseshoe crabs are not crabs it's a own species, nearest related to spiders and scorpions. They are raised since 1970 on sea farms as blood donors, which are taken a little out before freeing the animal again. Their blood (blue) is unique, because it contains a compound that detects the slightest bacterial contamination in medications and vaccines.
    It's important in medicine and Pharma industry, which also as collateral effect had avoided the extiction of this animal, which before was in a real risk.

  • After the perfection only can exist decay, without errors, evolution can't exist.

  • Very old, but gold

  • Yes, but the current heatwave in Spain I was not going to put here all Lenin's manuscript here because of an axiom like this.

  • Always more we need to stop believing that humans are intelligent.

  • When a capitalist system collapse, the always make an reset with a war.

  • US want to ban TikTok, because it's a Chinese company, it has nothing to do with privacy, while in the EU a service must fullfit the GDPR to be allowed to offer their service in the EU and DeepSeek, among others, don't. This has a lot to do with the privacy rights in the EU, those which in the USA don't exist, not with censorship. Privacy is a basic right in the EU and not even the Police can access sensible personal data or track your activity without an court order, less aprivate company for advertising reasons or for training their AIs. But yes, right wing politicians in Germany want to change this, but this isn't so easy in a working Democracy where it need to be approved with a majorit in th Bundestag.

  • Exactm every company in the RU is forced by law to fullfit the minimum of the GDPR to be able to sell their product, the fines are high, even for Google, MS and META, Nusk even said taking X out of the EU (I would approve it).

  • There are differences which prove that GDPR is far from perfect, but lightyears better from what the US permits.

    Eg. M$ US

    vs M$ EU (Germany)

  • I've also concerns over closed source apps, but as said, the small proprietary part of Vivaldi's UI is irrelevant, there is nothing shady in it, it is full auditable and can even be modded by the user (at own risk, logically)

    FLOSS isn't always synonymous of privacy, security and trust and proprietary soft also not always spyware and risky crap.Always is needed to read PP and TOS of the software you want use, it's features, support, and compare it with others, independent if it is FOSS or not. Eg. In Windows since a lot of years, one of the best and most valued tools is IrfanView, free proprietary closed source, but nobody bother because of this, knowing that there is nothing shady or fishy in it, Photoshop is also full trustworth, but there are FOSS alternatives (Gimp, Krita) which in the case of IrfanView not really exist with similar features. Even used by Linux fans with Wine, (IrfanView is Windows only)

    Falcon, well, not bad, but too basic for me. The Qt engine is a minimized Blink fork, also used by the Otter Browser (Qt5), same as Goanna respect of Gecko. Valid for users with an old PC or with few resources, who needs a small browser for basic tasks.

  • I'm from Spain, we also have problems with nazis, but not so as in Germany, but our left gov has a hard time with these hooligans.
