Fun fact: the US prison population has increased EXPONENTIALLY since the 1980s and the quality of life in prisons has decreased significantly. People who have not been found guilty and are awaiting trial (can take multiple years for a trail to happen) are imprisoned if they cannot afford bail. In many cases, inmates have been fed things labeled not for human consumption. We now have things like mandatory minimum sentences where the judge can't use their discretion in whether or not to jail someone.

Why do this, you ask? That's simple, free or very low cost labor! Prisoners are paid pennies on the dollar to do various jobs so that corporations can maximize profits. They have to work these jobs in order to afford basic nececities like toothpaste, and some prisons even charge you to stay in them.

The US has the biggest imprisoned population in the world by a very long shot despite only being 7% of the world population.

Unfortunately they will most likely migrate to Instagram as a result, which isn't good at all especially considering their recently hate speech policy changes targeted towards LGBTQ people and immigrants.

 

I'm trying to get TTS working on OSM, but I read that you have to have a TTS engine outside of the app. Any recommendations for an FOSS (and private) TTS engine from f-droid?

(But seriously, I'm not breaking any rules, right? It's original content and I've been spacing out the frequency of my posts)

Now that Mull is no longer being supported, what are some recommendations to tweak fennec so that it matches Mull in terms of privacy and security?
