@9M252YDA do you have any specific needs or concerns around privacy and security? Solus might be a good first distribution for people switching from Windows. Mint could also be a good fit.

It feels good to start a branch of GNOME's #Epiphany web browser where the first commit is a big removal that kills the old, memory-hog ad blocker. Next up: add the new ad blocker, using #WevKit's built-in content extensions support.

The new code only needs to care about downloading the filtering rules and using the new API to compile and make WebKit use them.

For testing I have EasyList (what Ephy uses now) converted to the JSON format, and using @aral's Better ruleset is the final target 🧐

Only 40 hours to go in the fundraiser though, people have to be fast if they are interested in snagging a account!

I'm so old that when I was at university we still believed in the "semantic web".

Only two bug-free releases in the default install, in a heck of a long time!

The Pleroma project produces a FREE, multi-platform ActivityPub-based GNU Social-like social networking server. Our efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated Finland memes. As an example of the effect Pleroma has, the popular federated emoji comes from Pleroma.

Pleroma is freely available from our download sites.
