Same with my partner’s American family. They dont believe a word of it. And if we can’t turn the domestic terrorists in our homes back to reality what chance do we stand turning back the country.

The Dataview plugin is the most critical one. You can create queries with your metdata. If that sounds like nonsense to you I highly encourage you to check it out because it’s super cool. I think of my Obsidian vault as my second brain.
Some cool examples here that you can click through. Also note that because the obsidian pages are in markdown format you can use the Jekyll engine to directly turn them into web pages (this is how GitHub Pages works)

Its a staggeringly powerful app. Utilizing the markdown format and the Dataview plugin to create queries with metadata in your notes allows you to build INSANE knowledge management systems.
Example of some set ups here: forum.obsidian.md/t/…/81788

Use SyncThing. It’s a free FOSS app for syncing files across devices and is available on all devices. I initially used it for Obsidian syncing, but it’s proved incredibly useful beyond that

On an unrelated note, that image looks fairly convincingly like pixel art until you zoom into it. On the other hand, the pixel art people are making with comfyUI (locally) is insane. I messed around with it and you can generate 2d and 3d game assets of anything you can think of. I played around with the idea of making a retro twin peaks game and the stuff i generated was mind blowing.
- Comment on Apple pulls iCloud end-to-end encryption feature for UK users after government demanded backdoor 18 hours ago:
Allowing tech giants to monopolize all of our communications was a mistake that was always going to lead to this. What alternatives do we have? There’s grapheneOS, but even that is placing too much trust in Google’s proprietary aspects of the hardware. I wish non-android linux phones were at a usable state.

They work well on desktop and mobile (firefox). As the other replier stated, you may want to avoid using multiple ad blockers (decentraleyes, privacy badger, and ghostery) alongside UBlock; and NoScript’s functionality can be achieved with UBlock.
Lol the name came from a ironscape clan member from my osrs days. I don’t suppose that’s you?

Hi, here are the extensions I use in FireFox/Librewolf (all will work in Chromium too, but I don’t recommend Chromium browsers):
Privacy and Security-focused
uBlock Origin: A lightweight and efficient wide-spectrum content blocker.
CanvasBlocker: Protects your privacy by preventing websites from fingerprinting you using the Canvas API.
Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker - Privacy AdBlock: Blocks trackers and ads to protect your privacy and speed up browsing. Also has a handy feature that automatically rejects cookies for you.
KeePassXC-Browser: Integrates KeePassXC password manager with your browser.
NoScript: Blocks JavaScript, Flash, and other executable content to protect against XSS and other web-based attacks &**(note: you will be required to manually activate javascript on each web page that you visit, but this is a good practice that you should get used to).
Privacy Badger: Automatically learns to block trackers based on their behavior.
User-Agent Switcher and Manager: Allows you to spoof your browser’s user-agent string.
Violentmonkey: A user script manager for running custom scripts on websites (allows you to execute your own JavaScript code, usually to modify how a website behaves or block behavior that you don’t like. VERY useful. Check out greasyfork for UserScripts).
Other useful extensions (non-privacy/security)
Firefox Translations: Provides on-demand translation of web pages directly within Firefox.
Flagfox: Displays a flag depicting the location of the current website’s server.
xBrowserSync: Syncs your browser data (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) across devices with end-to-end encryption.
Plasma Integration: Integrates Firefox with the KDE Plasma desktop environment (for linux users).
