The US and its allies use unilateral coercive measures to achieve their geopolitical and strategic objectives against other countries, in spite of them being in violation of basic principles of the UN charter.

In the 57th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) held in Geneva on Friday, September 13, China and several other developing countries from across the world denounced all forms of illegal unilateral coercive measures by the US and its allies, demanding their immediate and unconditional withdrawal.

On September 18th, the UN General Assembly is scheduled to debate and vote on a resolution calling on Israel to end “its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” within six months. Given that the General Assembly, unlike the exclusive 15-member UN Security Council, allows all UN members to vote and there is no veto in the General Assembly, this is an opportunity for the world community to clearly express its opposition to Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestine.

So Ubuntu has a version called Lubuntu, which used to come with LXDE, but now it comes with LXQt. So this will require you to install LXDE with the tasksel command, unless you start with Ubuntu desktopless. But I'd say to definitely check out Kubuntu, it's the KDE version, and I feel like KDE and LXDE are quite similar. Both have an older windows overall appearance.

Looks like trolCommander, muCommander, and WinSCP all have FTP support on Windows.

There's a few of them, the open source options include Double Commander, Files, Explorer++, Spacedrive (links files from multiple devices into one explorer), and Sigma File Manager. QTTabBar is an extension for the windows file manager which provides tabbed browsing as well. Here's a list covering these and many others with links to official websites for each one: https://alternativeto.net/software/windows-explorer/?p=2

On top of that, in the 2010 massive Cholera outbreak, there's images of UN sewage trucks dumping waste into the local water ways. While it was responsible for an obscene initial death toll, the country still has this Cholera strain actively being spread, confirmed via genetic analysis. In a country with fragile water filtration infrastructure, a severe lack of vaccinations, and a heavy distrust in the local government, this was a perfect storm which the repercussions are still being felt to this day... Stay away from Haiti UN, you've already done enough!

The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android.

Once again, Linux with a win!

Remember when Biden condemned the brutal police response against the BlackLivesMatter protest? That's when Trump was in office and Biden was running against him. He stated there must be a right to assembly and freedom of speech. Yet when he's put in a similar situation, it's no different. The US is accelerating their decline to further line the pockets of the ruling class. It's legitimately horrendous!

So Meta, Twitter, Snapchat and all the others who've redefined what data collection looks like and keep folks self centered is fine? The only reason the US is throwing this fit is because they can't access the collected data like they can with US based data brokers, I mean social media. The key aspect of this ban revolves around freedom of speach more than anything else.

Seeking the good of the whole makes one confront the depraved world we live in head on.

It's a fully open sourced app store for android. The code of all apps in the F-Droid repository are reviewed before being made available. So this is why the F-Droid version wont have these settings, as it'll be an older version.

You could just use the version on F-Droid until Fossify releases their fork of it. But ya, wild how basically out of no where Simple Mobile sold out tough.

Even without being a programmer, associating Free Software with a MASSIVE purchase is bonkers.

Apparently, if you go through the "privacy" settings in Windows and turn everything off, it still collects more data than KDE with all telemetry turned on 🤯
