People use Brave even though Peter Thiel is one of its main investors. People use Brave even though it was created by Brendan Eich, a homophobe and Trump supporter

    Thanks to Packman, many of us have been able to use openSUSE as the operating system on our PCs. I don’t currently use the Packman repository because, with the openSUSE openh264 repository, all the multimedia files I use work fine. Thank you for the great work you’ve done, particularly for enabling so many of us to use openSUSE; ever since we tried this magnificent distribution, we’ve stuck with the ‘chameleon’ of Linux.

    I don’t usually take the software creator’s ideology into account if it works well on my computer. However, I stopped using Brave when I found out that it’s a company funded by Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir and one of the most toxic investors around today. The combination of Brendan Eich and Peter Thiel has now pushed me past the point where I can separate software from its creator’s ideology.

    Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

    Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?

     

    Hello. I just received my new mini PC and I want to delete the Windows that comes installed and install Tumbleweed. I have seen in the Yast installer that the default grub is Grub-bls instead of grub-efi, which was the default until now. Which one should I choose, and what benefits does grub-bls offer to make it the new default boot manager in Tumbleweed? Thank you for Tumbleweed.
