In my sky high arrogance I thought 'I have never let Linux grace my devices, how hard can Qubes/Whonix truly be?' and I learned my lesson within minutes.

So I come here before you, humbly and beaten by 0s and 1s, to ask for your help.

How do I open a window where it neatly lists available connections and, if so, my current connection?

Usually when I am connected, it has a wifi symbol on the top right where the rest of my panels are. It disappeared.

I tried searching on the internet for answers. My mental capacity is basically non-existent, otherwise I wouldn't be here (probably).

Please. I just want to connect my device via wifi. I do not own an ethernet cable.

Thank you.

In stark contrast to the acrimony in February, there were also lighter moments. Brian Glenn, a pro-Trump TV reporter, told Zelenskyy that “you look fabulous in that suit”. Glenn had asked the Ukrainian leader about his clothing during his last visit to the Oval Office, implying that his casual dress was disrespectful.

Trump jumped in, saying: “I said the same thing.” Turning to Zelenskyy, Trump said: “That’s the one that attacked you last time.”

“I remember that,” Zelenskyy said, before addressing Glenn: “But you are in the same suit ... I changed, you have not.”

Nice one.

This is a shot in the dark because I admittedly have absolutely no idea, but did you try 3rd world vpn servers? I noticed I'm subjected to less bullshit overall if I choose servers in countries that aren't considered 1st world.

Your chicken is not only not your daughter but Chloe is a completely normal name that has nothing to do with genitals.

Fuck Newag. I hope they lose and have to pay huge fines in return for even writing software like that and imho endangering passengers for money. Imagine the train locking in full speed while approaching a curve. Or at an intersection where a car broke down and the conductors can't brake. Arseholes.

Thank you so, so much for the transcription, appreciated!

In that case: Thank you for speaking up and good riddance. A shame they're not taking their position seriously and do what they're supposed to do: Abide by the rules and making sure all participants do so, too. There's real harm coming from letting autism speaks propaganda stand like that.

It really is time for Linux. The signs haven't only been there, they've been bloody screaming. Dystopian as fuck.

One needs an invite code for that instance, just fyi. Thanks for the links

ETA: Ok wow! Thanks TuxEnthusiast for making me aware: The creator of the Little Lounge is an ally to "MAPs" (stands for "Minor-Attracted Person", which is basically a pedophile):

"18, MtF, biochemistry enthusiast, epistemology enjoyer. Occasional regressor? [REDACTED (vague contact labels are asinine)]-contact[1] ally to MAPs[...]".

So yea, better stay away from there

For anyone not reading the article: "[In Sweden], the tax authority doesn’t just use this information for administrative purposes – but sells it to data brokers who publish it online."

The government shouldn't ever sell people's private data - not for profit, not for anything.

I was reading various old posts and the librewolf faq, but none answer my question, so here I am.

Following scenario:

I have the setting against fingerprinting enabled, which is probably the reason why a new private window opens at a set height and set width, 900 and 1600 respectively per about:config.

Now! If I maximise the window, then the inner limits of the window with a webpage do not change (as far as I can tell), what does change is that the original window is embedded now in a bigger window, the bookmarks bar (which I view as separate from the window where a webpage itself is) does stretch to fit to the new size - but as I understand fingerprinting, it's only about the part where the webpage is, not the bookmarks bar or the textbox for the address.

So why does every resource keep saying that maximising the window makes it easier to identify the user if the relevant part of the browser is kept at set height and width even if the window is being maximised? Why having the webpage kind of embedded in a bigger window if it doesn't serve its purpose: Making sure the window is the same size for every user and thus helps against fingerprinting?

Sorry if it is a duplicate, as I said I read old posts and the librewolf faq to no avail.

Thanks!

Ok, I see now how that could happen - I forget people would abuse a law like that.

Thanks.

Why would it suppress left politicians? It's not like any of them have multiple extremism convictions, that's usually rightwing politicians.
