boatswain,

Ron Wyden is a treasure:

“The U.S. government should not be funding and legitimizing a shady industry whose flagrant violations of Americans’ privacy are not just unethical, but illegal,” Wyden wrote.

boatswain,

People don’t seriously try to use Kali as a daily driver, do they? That’s just a meme, right? Right?

boatswain,

Actually, Garuda Linux is really easy to use

I agree; that’s what I use on my main PC. Not sure what that has to do with Kali though.

boatswain,

The difference is the part immediately after you stopped quoting:

They don’t understand how horrible the loss of privacy is…

What OP is saying here is that people know abstractly that smart devices are not privacy friendly, but they don’t understand how big a deal that actually can be.

(Please see comments)Alternatives to Signal if they exit EU due to ending E2EE

Like the title states looking for E2EE apps (Android and iOS) without going into much details or needs to be robust enough and easy to use for anyone and stable for operations that are susceptible to constant electronic warfare. I did some research and thought about replacing Signal with Molly and wondering if it will still work...

VeilidChat is not out yet, but development seems to be moving quickly; it’s one to keep an eye on

During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

I’m going from Hong Kong to Iceland next month. I’ve read that everything there, including food, are quite expensive. So my wife and I have been researching on how to prepare meal or snack that we can eat during the day instead of going to restaurant....

boatswain,

I was just in Iceland for a week or so. Restaurants were a bit on the expensive side coming from the US, but not terrible. Cheap sandwiches abound there, though: at most gas stations or the supermarkets I could get a premade sandwich for $4 US or so. I largely did day tours as well, and all the ones I went on stopped at a couple of gas stations through the day for pit stops and food, and the sandwich selection was adequate. Personally,I wouldn’t stress too much.

boatswain,

Good question; I’m afraid I didn’t really keep track of those. I know I saw signs for vegan food several times, though.

boatswain,

Guild Wars 2; I’m at 6-7k hours or so. Been playing a lot less lately; I’m not sure if that’s the recent content, or if it’s me getting tired of it. I don’t have a ton of objectives I’m interested in completing at this point; some "nice to have"s, but at this point any character or build I could possibly want to play, I have just about everything I need for. Mostly find myself logging in twice a week to do guild night with friends, and that’s it.

Otherwise, GTA V, which surprises pretty much everyone I know except the friends I play with. It’s just such an easy game to spend hoursblowing each other up or racing around or whatever in; really a fantastic game to play with friends.

boatswain,

FYI formatting those quotes as code makes them really hard to read, at least for me–the lines don’t break, so I have to scroll the text to the right to get it to be visible. You’d probably be better off with a blockquote,

which would look more like this. That’s done with a > at the start of the line

boatswain,

The Book of Wonder by Lord Dunsany is fantastic; it’s a bunch of early fantasy stories by an Irish lord who was a huge influence on the fantasy genre.
