But Black men are still men. They are discriminated against for being Black (or "black men"), but the root does not stem from them being men, as in they are not targeted for just being men but "black men" as a class. The lines are blurred when people treat trans men (or black men) as a different category of men, but such bigoted rhetoric doesnt first stem from them being men but "other men", excluded from masculinity by patriarchy and bigotry.

As I said, DivestOS supports microg. It signature spoofs the latest microg release, enabled with a toggle in the settings.

MicroG actually works on DivestOS. It is "unsupported", as-in the Dev doesnt want to put any significant time into development for Gapps support.

I would avoid /e/os (and iode) because they are frequently behind on Android security patches. More information here: https://divestos.org/pages/patch_history

Stop paying the CEO so much!

Firefox could by now have:

  • Much better anti-fingerprinting for a generalized threat model (RFP is too specialized for anonymity)
  • Fission (per-site process isolation) for Android, among other things.
  • Integrated content blocking (based on uBlock but with the development power of Mozilla)
  • Tab groups ffs
  • Native force dark mode for web pages
  • Sandboxing support using zypak fork server for Flatpak (currently Flatpak weakens Firefox isolation substantially)
  • UI/UX update (hire the talent at Zen browser)

If you aren't from the USA, don't try to punch a hole in the wall. If you punch drywall, avoid the stud boards. Easy way to break your hand.

If you liked LineageOS without gapps, than I highly recommend DivestOS. It is a soft-fork of LineageOS with significant security hardening and removal of proprietary binary blobs.

Avoid installing extensions as they break browser site isolation (bad for security). Extensions have a lot more access than a website does in the browser.

VPNs are illegal in China.

Since it is source available, it isnt open source and therefore closed source.

Edit: we obviously have different definitions. I did not mean to argue over semantics. I would personally never trust a browser with proprietary code, even it is source available.

You can disable that. Here are two links that disable that. Add it to Firefox or Chromium through the settings.

Simple, only disables AI answers: https://duckduckgo.com/?kbe=0&q=%25s

Long, disables AI answers and ads: https://duckduckgo.com/?kak=-1&kax=-1&kbe=0&k1=-1&q=%25s

Steps to create a custom DDG search config:

  • Visit: https://duckduckgo.com/settings
  • Select the settings you want, for example dark mode.
  • Click the "Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data" button.
  • Copy the link, using my dark mode scenario would yield the URL https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d
  • Edit the URL by adding &q=%s to the end, which acts as a placeholder for the browser to replace with your actual search query. Using my example https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d&q=%25s
  • Last step is add it to your browser. May differ between browsers, but generally look in the search engines tab of the settings.

He sat quietly for a moment, and then said goodbye to his parents. I didn’t think anything of it until after we took his blood and he asked, “So when will I die?” He thought he was giving his life for hers. Thankfully, they both died'
