This is actually the Tails project merging with Tor. The Tor project manage Tails and not the other way around.

…shouldn't be meeting or talking to any foreign heads of state. That's the law.

It is? News to me. He can’t represent the US government without a Presidential request, but he can talk to whoever will make time for him.

OTOH, Zelenskyy does have a government to represent. As to why he would want to talk with a convicted felon, who knows?

Why do we believe anything a Russian media outlet says these days?

ETA: Finally found their About page. It says that they’re independent and now publish from Latvia. My apologies.

Apparently, it isn’t about FOSS. It’s about trademark infringement.

Sounds like it may be time for the UK to rethink relaxing their laws against harboring Israeli war criminals.

Private Security Camera (literature.cafe)

I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I'm somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.

Thanks!

One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?

What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?

Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here.

The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?

Where exactly do they think the Gazans can go?

Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

Portable Keyboard? (literature.cafe)

If this isn't the right place for user questions, please just let me know.

My laptop's keyboard has begun having issues in the last few months. I think one of the keys has a broken spring and it's interfering with a half dozen others. Replacing the keyboard on this particular model involves stripping it to the chassis, which I prefer not to do.

Since the computer lives in my backpack and goes to class while teaching (I prefer my own device rather than the uni-issued 10-year-old laptop), I'm thinking of picking up a small portable keyboard to use when the builtin acts up. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a good model?
