Stop obsessing with how personally green you live – and start collectively taking on corporate power

Neoliberalism has conned us into fighting climate change as individuals | Martin Lukacs

> While we busy ourselves greening our personal lives, fossil fuel corporations are rendering these efforts irrelevant. The breakdown of carbon emissions since 1988? A hundred companies alone are responsible for an astonishing 71%. You tinker with those pens or that panel; they go on torching the planet.

> Neoliberalism has taken this internalized self-blame and turbocharged it. It tells you that you should not merely feel guilt and shame if you can’t secure a good job, are deep in debt, and are too stressed or overworked for time with friends. You are now also responsible for bearing the burden of potential ecological collapse.

``` Nearly four and a half decades after the fifth Assembly election in 1977, Kerala has repeated history by re-electing the incumbent government to power. The Left Democratic Front (LDF), led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) – CPI(M), has won 99 of the 140 Assembly seats in the state to come back to power. The LDF not only won eight seats more than it had secured in the 2016 Assembly election, but managed to increase their vote share.

The main opposition – the United Democratic Front (UDF), led by the Congress – won 41 of the seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won no seats at all.

The exit polls had predicted a simple majority for the LDF. ```

Privacy comparison between web browsers
  • This is the first time that I've come across this site. That being said, I hoped to see Firefox in mid - high tier, based on the articles I've read about Firefox and it's privacy protection out of the box, like tracking protection.

    Is this a legit analysis? Would Firefox move up the ladder if we tweak its config like this?

  • Molly - a hardened version of the official Signal for Android app
    github.com GitHub - mollyim/mollyim-android: Enhanced and security-focused fork of Signal.

    Enhanced and security-focused fork of Signal. Contribute to mollyim/mollyim-android development by creating an account on GitHub.

    Molly is a hardened version of the official Signal for Android app. It claims the following features,

    • Protects database with passphrase encryption
    • Locks down the app automatically after you go a certain time without unlocking your device
    • Securely shreds sensitive data from RAM
    • Allows you to delete contacts and stop sharing your profile
    • Clears call notifications together with expiring messages
    • Disables debug logs
    • No SMS integration

    There are two flavors of it,

    • Molly - Similar to the official Signal app, plus the additional features
    • Molly-FOSS - Doesn't rely on any Google components for location, push notifications & face blurring, plus all the additional features

    Download it from here.

    I've been using it for a couple of days & it is pretty decent so far.

    Anyone here already tried or are using it? How's the experience so far?
