For Molly, I kept seeing this popup by Google when downloading Molly FOSS from fdroid.
Should I be concerned? What should I do to ensure I am downloading Molly from a trusted source if Fdroid isn't an ideal place (due to misleading names as depicted in the referenced post)?
Of course, google is trying to dissuade you from using other app stores, nothing more. You might be able to download and install it from GitHub using obtainium if you really want to verify the origin of the app.
You are right, many oddly specific gaming things like this are not that well supported, but the strength of Linux and open source is that everyone has the power to change it. The software that people have already developed to interface with proprietary hardware is great, I have a Corsair mouse and thought I would never have support for macros on it on Linux, but someone has already developed software that does a way better job than corsairs official software. It can do all of the same operations and doesn’t hang or crash regularly. I’m sure a few of your issues have already been solved by someone. The brilliant thing is, Linux ultimately allows much more control over the software and hardware it is interfaced to. So something like the transducers you mention would probably be easier to do than it is on windows, but someone has to actually do it. Maybe the sim-racing community is just waiting for you to come along? ;)
After weeks of action, the sole recruiters for the British operations of Israel’s largest weapons company, Elbit Systems, have confirmed via email to Palestine Action that they ended their association with Elbit on the evening of the 29th November. For two months, activists in the Palestine Action network had disrupted iO...

I am looking for a nice ebook reader app for android but it’s proving to be quite difficult. Every app I stumble open misses at least a few things I want. So here is a list of things I want:...
Yep get a second hand Kobo for £30 and install Koreader on it. Or if you fancy, Kindles can be had cheaper, but they will require a jailbreak to use Koreader.
Cool picture. From what I gather they did not use a viral vector here? It mentions nanoparticles. I also wonder if there were any adverse affects among the animal tests too.
Free market capitalism inevitably leads to monopolies. Political economists wrote about this in the early 20th century; have a read of “Imperialism: The highest stage of capitalism” sections 1-5 are most relevant but the rest is also.
Because Cuba is not often a major player in world events, like Russia and the PRC are currently. Cuba is involved in quite a few discussions in communist theory. I also don’t really see what you mean regarding idolizing, they just have quite a different viewpoint.
Any communist/Marxist literature :p Maybe have a browse around on ProleWiki. I would also recommend Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Friedrich Engels, because I think it does a good job of explaining the basics in the last chapter (but the first two are worth reading too). For something less theoretical that just tells it how it is right now, I would recommend “Confessions of an Economic hitman”, which exposes the meddling of US imperialism around the world (including politics)
Most of the Marxist literature can be found on Marxists.org
YES you should not bring any technological devices with you. In fact it is better to abstain from digital systems for a period of 3 months before entering and after leaving China. (Viruses, etc)
DO NOT think your anus is safe. I had a friend who tried to smuggle in 3tb of Xi Jinping x Winnie the Pooh fanfics by encrypting it with AES-1024 and storing it on micro SD cards in his rectum. Little did he know, that day they had started doing mandatory anus probes on all foreigners. They found it. They cracked the encryption in a few minutes due to Chinese quantum supremacy and needless to say, he was executed on spot.
DO NOT think about the CPC. They have theta-brainwave detectors at the border and can detect revisionist and counter-revolutionary thoughts. Especially if you have any information that could lead to the downfall of the CPC.
Seriously though, what are you expecting to happen? What privacy are you expecting to lose? What laws for discrimination are you expecting to be missing?
When you travel internationally you already lose some privacy in that they have your passport. You are telling them exactly who you are, and where you came from. Some countries will take fingerprint scans (US, China too). Those are pretty big but are not specific to China. You should disable biometrics on your phone though, as that means they cannot force you to unlock it. But regarding the tech on your phone, if you are using any google or meta services, then all your privacy is already gone and Chinese authorities can just buy that information if they want. So I’m not sure exactly what you’re worried about, some specifics might be useful.
It would also help to know what you want the cloud storage for. They can’t suddenly hack into all of your accounts the moment you cross the border. If you already have sensible security steps like strong passwords and MFA in place, then I don’t see what else you’d need to do.
A noble ideal, but that should be the case regardless of where you’re going ;)
Then the same rules apply, Use different identities that have no connection to each other at all (none of the same information, email, usernames, phone numbers etc) on my phone I like to have “real” stuff separated into a different profile. If you are worried about a search then you can log out of all your real or fake stuff, depending on what you want to be seen. (I’m assuming the fake stuff should be hidden seeing as they will have your passport). You may even want to clear data for those applications or uninstall them.

If you can find a second hand PC with a Celeron, they’re pretty low draw, and it will mean you can open it up and add as many drives as it has SATA ports. We did the same, got an old PC for £30 and added drives and more RAM.
Russia seems to be able to keep up this war effort, whilst some NATO countries are already running out of stuff to send. They’re getting stuff manufactured cheaply in Iran, North Korea, etc. I imagine the US economy has a sizable proportion made from services. I don’t think the US tech sector can make a new app to fight the Russians with. Their cheap war materiel production does not inflate GDP like the US tech or MIC does, but that doesn’t mean it is less effective.
What I’m referring to is that there is not a linear relationships between supplies and GDP. US kit has vastly inflated price compared to what Russia can produce/buy it for.
The cells that encase the nerves (receptors) get infected, and become inflamed. This then means the nerve cells cannot transport nutrients along them, and can’t send a signal. Eventually that can lead to death of the nerves as well. This is also the way they found COVID to spread through the brain, not through the nerves themselves but the supporting epithelial (I think is the right name) cells.

Afaik this is not a feature unique to Gmail, it’s a feature of the email system as a whole. Same with a dot. Any characters after a plus or dot in the first part of the email are ignored.
Problem is they want an address, I don’t feel comfortable giving my address now for fear of being noted down as an encryption user. This has been used in France to accuse people of crimes.
