Maybe Mozilla thinks that if someone goes to all of that trouble then they deserve a free VPN.

Librewolf sounds perfect for you on Linux. On the ethical side they use the ‘no AI’ version of duckduckgo as the search engine and disable DRM by default. These are nice touches that I appreciate.

I can’t think of any tradeoffs.

That’s fair enough, my last comment is speculation of course.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed!

Personally I think the BBC are still working with an internalised assumption that climate is a ‘partisan’ issue, and that stating the role of climate in other stories opens them up to accusations to being partial/biased, or pursuing a political agenda. It is editorial cowardice to be doing this with climate, primarily because it is a science; it’s reporting facts. It also happens to be the most important issue of out time.

The BBC keep minimising the role of climate breakdown in news stories. I’m sure it’s some kind of internal editorial guideline because it’s super consistent.

I started noticing it over the summer in their reporting of the heatwaves. Unless a news story is specifically about greenhouse gas emissions or climate policy, they do not emphasise climate change as the fundamental driving force behind the story.

I’m sure they have their reasons, but I think it’s time for them to be more honest. If our public institutions spoke up honestly about it we would have action on climate. That goes for the NHS, fire service, national rail etc too. Everything is impacted but everyone is quiet.

Sorry for the political rant in a Rice Krispies thread but I’ve made a decision to speak up about this stuff whenever I see it.

I’m impressed at what a geometrically clean hole it made in the wall.

Agreed. It’s my single favourite piece of software.

I get “content not viewable in your region” from the UK, but when I switch my VPN location to France I can watch the video. Spooky.

Also, big respect to these activists. It’s disgraceful that our government is supporting a genocide.

I’m annoyed by the new Firefox UI.

Try Librewolf, you can turn it off in the settings.

Huge respect to everyone making such big sacrifices to stand up for what’s right at the moment.

UK government should be ashamed.

A very astute observation, your Majesty.
