She might be our one last hope; I don't think TFG would survive the night with her!

It's good to support democratic values with our purchases.
But I wonder, for example re smartphones, how many of these alternatives are just European badges on a collection of parts made in China (even less of a democracy than Trump-ruled USA).
Taking Punkt as an example, I did various Qwant searches and came no closer to finding out where their phones and/or components are actually manufactured. (Very clear where the company is headquartered; "Swiss" and "Switzerland" are mentioned every 10 words :D , .ch domain, office in Lugano. But they never say that's where the phones are manufactured.)
It's scary how relevant it is this time, now that Trump has completed his absolute takeover of the Republican Party (last time there were still some grown-ups restraining Trump's worst instincts) and the destruction of the checks and balances that are supposed to be provided by the legislature and the judiciary.
Hmmm, link works for me both in desktop web browser and in Voyager mobile app.
I'll post a plain URL in my main post and here in this comment.

He's put the countries that are now the US's voting buddies at the UN (Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea, Syria etc) in the red and orange lists. That's gratitude for ya!
I've heard they're going to use Jurassic Park-inspired technology to bring back the wooly mammoth.
But they need to use it to bring back Bill Hicks.
Nice report on FF mods and forks.
To me things like Librewolf and Zen are FF mods, whereas Pale Moon and Basilisk are forks. Mods track the mainstream project, incorporating its updates. Forks say "Goodbye" and go on their own merry way. My 2 centavos.
Got a bunch of these on my computer (FF, mods: Firedragon, Floorp, Librewolf, Zen, ¿Agregore?; fork: Pale Moon) and Zen has been my mainstay since last autumn.
Also tried out a handful of non-FF-related browsers (Dillo, Falkon, Kristall, NetSurf, Servo). Falkon (using it now) seems to be the only one I can really use for proper web browsing. Servo is getting there. Netsurf and DIllo just don't seem usable with the modern web.
I think I'll keep Zen as my main web browser, and Pale Moon or Falkon as a lightweight backup or for special purposes (e.g. web radio). And keep an eye on Servo.
TL;DR - After Durov's arrest and subsequent increase in Telegram content moderation, the Neonazi terrorists have migrated to... Twitter.
While exact plot details remain closely guarded, the new “Starship Troopers” is said to draw inspiration from Heinlein’s original military story, rather than pulling from the fascist send-up that characterized Verhoeven’s satirical adaptation.
Yeah, you don't want to send up fascists today...
(Wonders if The Great Dictator and Verhoeven's Starship Troopers would make a good double-bill.)
I wonder if that gif is banned on Reddit.
RIP Brian Thompson.
