Have you seen the state of the food, water and pharma in many places even with govt regulations ? Companies violate the hell out of laws and all the govt does is fine them less money than they made screwing people over by breaking the laws all the while the govt takes bribes from them in the form of lobbying. Furthermore you don't get to decide what I want or don't want.

Semi FOSS BIOS "Coreboot" has been updated to version 24.05. This update adds support for twenty five new motherboards, fixes for clang support, added support for EL2/EL3 onm ARM64, and more. The code to Coreboot is licensed using GPLv2.0. The reason I call it semi FOSS is that it does have to include varying levels of closed source blobs to make many models work. Having some FOSS in Coreboot beats having a fully closed source BIOS though and it is a good step for users to take to get more privacy and security for their devices.
The project's main website is here:
https://www.coreboot.org/
The code is hosted on Github:

I don't see regulation as any solution. Government is only good for stealing people's money and limiting freedom. Not to mention that I prefer to support the people and companies that make devices and software like this of their own volition rather than because the government made them. I don't need regulation when I have my own determination and common sense. I do my own research because privacy and security matter to me. For most people the truth is they will never deGoogle for no reason other than they simply don't care.
Alpine Linux has released version 3.20. This update brings initial 64-bit RISC-V support, a number of package upgrades, and more. Alpine Linux can be a good distro to try out if you're looking for a more minimialist distro that doesn't use SystemD.

2D point and click game "Duck Detective: The Secret Salami" was released recently. It has a native Linux version and is available DRM free at GOG.
Can buy devices with alternative operating systems already installed.
As for the rest is setting up an account with Tuta any different than one with Gmail ?
F-droid is a download away and doesn't need an account.
The only real work with XMPP and the like is choosing a server, same for Nextcloud.
At the end of the day the user who puts in no effort gets nothing out of it.

For *non-technical people* trying to de-Google, what are some good Google product alternatives that you don't have to self-host?
I'll start with Ente, which is a pretty good replacement for Google Photos, and Fastmail, which is a good replacement for Gmail and Calendar.

Is anyone using cockpit-certificates and interested in taking over its development and maintenance?
It currently works; we've kept it on life support with CI, dependabot, and such, but it hasn't seen any real development in a long time.
If you are interested, please let us know on the issue and/or on Matrix @ https://matrix.to/#/#cockpit:fedoraproject.org
We are happy to provide guidance and help with PR reviews and such.
If nobody is interested, we'll archive the repository in two weeks.
