I'm lazy af: The one which comes by default. But if I had to choose I'd throw a coin for either KDE or Gnome. Both very lovely and well crafted Desktop Environments and I do not want to favor one over the other. Therefore random it is.

boycott list

And here is a list of corporations to boycott!

via @Susan โœถโœถโœถโœถ

Democracy Matters :verified:
@DemocracyMattersALot@mstdn.social

Corporations that publicly endorsed Trump's megabill. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians that voted for it (although most did that too). These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage. People should know the companies that made this choice.

If you don't need a whole country downloaded you can only use the blocks you need.
Creating favorites is as easy as I have ever seen.
The only thing I really mis is that unfortunately there is no trafic information available.

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy held up under a splash pad dumping bucket mid-dump and getting drenched with water during a bright, sunny day. The soaking-wet Creature is held up in the air by off-camera arms, its body facing right at the camera as a large yellow bucket pivots on its steel post and pours water onto it. The water splashes onto its head, deforming the Creature's plush body as it's met with over a gallon of water. Further behind the yellow bucket is a red bucket on a perpendicular post still filling with water.
