*Only dictatorships jail peaceful political leaders.*

It isn't just Forcadell.

Nine leading Catalan politicians have been in jail for over 12 months awaiting trial. Potentially facing 25 year sentences for sedition. Four of the imprisoned are on hunger strike.

In Europe, in the 21st century.

Why?

For trying to achieve independence democratically.

Remember that if you have a thought comprised of multiple posts, if you don't thread them (post each one as a reply to the previous one,) it's impossible to get the full context down the line. I just saw a post boosted from October that I can tell from the replies is part of a series, but since it's not threaded there's no way to see the rest of it. I'd have to go to their profile and just click "show more" until I get through the thousands of posts they've made in the last 3 months.

PSA:

Don't go on Reddit, ever.

PSA: Even with you profile set to not being Google indexable, other instances cloning your feed will not respect this setting thereby exposing your posts to Google.

Anything you don't want to be publicly indexed by search engines should not be posted as public.

If you really want to help Firefox succeed, file a bug on https://webcompat.com/ when you find a broken website. Don't just switch back to Chrome; let Mozilla know there's a problem so they can try to fix it.

When browsers lose market share, they fall into the "compatibility death spiral." Sites don't bother to test, they break, and users flee to the browser that "just works." Mozilla is fighting this battle every day, and it just got harder.

Remember this, if you run #PureBrowser instead of Firefox and visit about:addons, and search for an addon, and it says "Only with Firefox—Get Firefox Now" you can click on "See all versions" and install the latest version even if you don't have the real Firefox. It's been working for me, for the add-ons I care about. I hope it works for you, too!

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out which distro of Linux would be best for a computer dedicated to #gaming on #Linux AND as an #HTPC.

Ogg Vorbis

boost if u agree

The fact that browsers implement tracking prevention and a distraction-free reading mode tells a lot about the general state of the web.
