That’s just progressive tax brackets with extra steps.

On the other hand, Trump’s been busy trying to rule by decree. Being able to do that at all is an issue.

As I understand it from there, it’s the government that works, but the PMs that can get dismissed often. Unfortunately, the right-wing populists like to stay over time.

OsmAnd is excellent, can rec.

There’s also Organic Maps, which is also pretty good, but I personally prefer OsmAnd. And as another user posted below, OM has a bit of lack of transparency, so instead CoMaps is handier, that’s a fork from it.

Lemmy, piefed, kbin, all valid and handy, tbh.

what’s important is that people go to the fediverse, and also contribute every now and then to the devs and instance owners for hosting costs!

Given the fascist regime, privacy is an absolute right.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish…

More accurate version:

Communities are largely similar, but the underlying hardware and tweaks are slightly different.

If you only ever hear bad news, this can also demoralise and disincentivise people from taking action. That’s why I usually balance them a bit, to avoid doomscrolling. Keep yourself informed, but don’t demoralise yourself.

Isn’t Signal readable through Israeli spyware the US bought?

Threema then, I’d say.

Like a gift economy thing?

Volt feels a bit too centrist, semi-neoliberal. But if it gets people away from Union, why not.

Unironically they’d be a better choice than AfD or Union, but that’s a bar so low you could hardly walk under it.

On toward Die Linke and Grünen!

Alright, time to go to a different phone. Gonna buy Fairphone tomorrow.

(Or Motorola, if it’s true that it’s gonna have GrapheneOS on it).

Live image and test?

do you mean I’d download a distro, put it on a USB, and then extract/open it in there, and test it out?

(and ofc, saving my data on my own desktop on an external hard disk, before committing to switch)?

Would it work for general usage too?

Within Linux I see ‘beginner’, ‘intermediate’ and ‘advanced’ users mentioned, but I’m not sure where I’d fall, or what those would roughly denote.

Like I’m familiar with what a terminal is and how it can be used for commands, I’m not like an old grandma not knowing what the big red X button does, I know not to delete system32 or to avoid sudo rm rf, but I’m not familiar with a shell, setting up an IP of your own, that stuff. I think this would label me as an average user for whom intermediate distros would be possible, but I’m not sure.

Re: the EndeavourOS, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed also has a nice installer, no?
