My understanding of actual theocracies might be wrong, but I imagine that the people on top of such structures know 100% absolutely that religion is just a tool to oppress and control the people.

"Charity", he said with a total poker face

This comment made a lot of sense in 1986, with Communism being at its very latest stages.

In 2025 it seems like that particular zombie is crawling out of its grave.

More like "The absolutely first thing I'll do on this machine is install Linux on it"

I think you need to be in Proton's Board of Directors to have any effect on this. Perhaps if some of those guys are your friend?

I use https://miniflux.app/. It's pretty small, costs $15/year. I do this because I want to keep my feed status across different devices.

I'm not perfectly happy with it. Perhaps it's a bit too minimal. When I subscribe to an aggregate like Hacker News, it pretty much floods my feed and I get swamped.

If anyone has a slightly better alternative in mind, I'd be happy to hear.

The bsky post I took this from suggests that a lot of this is due to Paris's mayor: https://bsky.app/profile/brenttoderian.bsky.social/post/3lfvj5yo6fk2l
