As someone who has a snake I take offense to him being compared to that wretched human being. He's a good boy.

Mobile operating system /e/ OS has been updated to version 2.2. This update adds a parental control feature, improves calender customization, blocks 800 more trackers, adds bug fixes for a variety of devices, and more. /e/ OS is a deGoogled OS based on LineageOS. They currently support 250 devices and have a graphical installer. You can also purchase devices from their Murena store which come preinstalled with /e/ OS if you want an even easier time getting the OS on a phone. They use the BlissLauncher desktop and use the Ext 4 file system. It's a good option for someone looking to move away from Google but still needs a user friendly Android based OS that cares about privacy.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Linux Mint has released version 22. This version is based off of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and will be supported until 2029. This updates the Cinnamon desktop to version 6.2, updates the Mate desktop to version 1.26.2, improves HiDPI support, updates the kernel to version 6.8, switching the default audio server to Pipewire, and more. It uses SystemD for the init. Linux Mint currently ships with options for the Cinnamon desktop as well as Mate and XFCE. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA. Linux Mint is a very user friendly distro and a great starting point if you are looking to switch from Windows or Mac to something more privacy and security focussed.
