### Cosmic's 1st Alpha Release is Here
>The Cosmic desktop environment is a new DE brought to us by System76
System76's long awaited Cosmic desktop environment is finally here in it's first Alpha release.
If you want to try out Cosmic, running on the PopOS! distribution, you can grab a copy of the disk image 👉 [here](https://blog.system76.com/post/cosmic-alpha-released-heres-what-people-are-saying).

(Just note that running anything from a USB stick is much slower.)

The right to defend yourself from criminals and from tyrannical government is an unalienable right.
An unalienable right is one that cannot be taken from you, nor even by a 100% majority vote.
The Constitution doesn't grant you the right to keep and bear arms. The 2nd Amendment explicitly reminds the government that it cannot and shall not infringr on the right to self defense against oppression or threat to life or limb.
CSAM? CSE? I had to look those up. Why are they changing the terminology? Are queer theory Marxists trying to normalize the behavior by givining it more paletable terminology? Queer theory Marxism is all for normalizing pedos. The whole MAPS terminology for example.

I know I'm not the only one starting to think the Beast of the Bible could be an AI algorithm, controlling humanity through digital currency and digital ID.
Probably not an AI algorithm, but it's not hard make the point that scan-to-pay, or tap-to-pay is definitely an infrastructure that the Mark of the Beast could run on globally, right now.
All that needs to happen is the elimination of cash, and that all nations require digital ID, regardless if that means VISA in one country, CBDC in another, Bitcoin in another, Monoero in another, or whatever digital currency in whichever country.
There is at least one system that is tying all the digital currencies together. I don't remember what it's called.
The UN's "Better Than Cash Alliance" is calling elimination of cash "Digital Financial Inclusion"
Each organization, company, and country that joins the alliance has to commit to moving away from cash and into some form of digital option. They don't actually care what kinds as long as it biws to their demands.
They say they have to achieve this goal by 2030.

Clients create the keypair.
It's the lightning wallet that is a headache, but if you automatically & seamlessly integrate minibits/cashu into the client like 0xchat does (and like Garnet does w/Monero), it's a breeze.
Of you're doing videos, you better hist your own YouPHPTube (or similar) alongside your Nostr Relay.

You do you. That's what Nostr is about.
I will never support, affirm or promote queer theory (aka queer Marxism) It goes against my firmly held religious beliefs in more than one way.
But you have the freedom to promote that all you want with your circle of friends . . . just don't try to indoctrinate my kids into queer theory.
You don't force your views and beliefs onto me or my kids, and I won't force my views and beliefs onto you.
Individual free agency is the only true middle ground.
You might want to hold off on some of that place the blame game that every generation loves to play.
I think all generations have done their fair share.
Do you know that relative to inflatation the cost of homes were flat from 1945 to 2010? It's probably still holding true, but I haven't seen data beyound 2010.
I take my kids to the DVD section of Goodwill or Deseret Industries, and they browse through movies there on the shelf. 😁
Buy a few, bring them home, throw them into the DVD player.
### KDE Connect
>A cross platform open source app that lets you connect any two devices over a network.
KDE Connect is an app that makes it easy to connect your DeGoogled phone and/or Linux Phone to your Linux laptop using your phone's hot spot, or any network.

Marxist Saul Alinksy... In Rules for Radicals says, "The real action (that you seek) is the enemy's reaction."
Everything they do is to invoke a reaction that makes their enemy look bad so the Marxists can gain the sympathy of people, and use the enemy's reaction to inch their agenda little by little.

### What is Linux Phone Convergence?
Aside from privacy and security . . . "convergence" is one of the main appeals of Linux phones.
Convergence means your phone can be docked and used as a computer.
Linux phones are leaps and bounds ahead of Androids and iPhones when it comes to using your phone as a computer. This is because Linux phones run desktop Linux apps.
The phone in the video is Purism's [Librem5 phone](https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/), which is currently in stock for $649. It may be old slow hardware, but Purism is one of the main developers of Mobian Phosh (the Debian version of Mobile Linux), so they have things working fairly well on their hardware, but nothing even close to current Android or iPhone. DeGoogled phones are definitely the best options at the moment (Aug 2024).
Purism's other phone, their [Liberty phone](nostr:nevent1qqs056gmgknkwf4yrs3rwqdmwsxaqste7u53n6zqusndq0fcjzyx25gpzdmhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3eqgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqp54rfj8), is the only smart phone completely made in the USA, with the exception of its removable WiFi Card being made in India, and its chassis in China.
Here is an [overview video of the Librem5 and some if it's issues](https://odysee.com/@TheLinuxGamer:f/librem5-final:1).

That's a good question.
Tiling managers are a must. They're part of the desktop environment. I've been running one since Compiz/Fusion almost 20 years ago. Compiz features are what all these modern desktops seem to be copying.
Librem phones run the Phosh desktop/mobiletop on Mobian OS (Mobuan = mobile Debian). I'm not sure if Phosh offers a windows tiler.
