From what I can see on the F-Droid description, Focus connects to iTunes, presumably in addition to the same places Antenna does, for podcast search indexing

A few months ago I blindly copied the hosts file from https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist as I was used to on BSD and Linux systems. It bricked Windows. Turns out that I had to use the installer script for Windows. Realised too late. That was my final goodbye to the Redmond giant.

For running a walled garden with iron grip, Apple allows copying the hosts file. Which I use for things like certification exams and any governmental agency stuffs.

Bash as it is what I'm most familiar with. Having an eye out on the https://amber-lang.com/ that compiles to bash for future scripting purposes.

Three diets come to the mind. Mediterranean, Atlantic, Mormon diet as it is designed and followed in America. Followers of these diets tend to live healthy and long. What the three diets have in common is, each of them is local and seasonal to a large extent.

Local and seasonal. Eases the transportation load and refrigeration load. Both contribute to what you refer to as good for the planet .

Perhaps letting every region design and foster its own local and seasonal diet is a good idea.

That brings us to the food industry. How may we escape the sales and marketing armies of the food industry? A great challenge indeed.

Probably simple, whilst incredibly difficult. We can begin with removing by-products and side effects and every last synonym of the two from our vocabulary.

Coal and gas energy comes with green house gases which we conveniently called side effects and ignored. Only those side effects have grown exponentially to haunt us.

Nuclear energy comes with the question of nuclear waste.

No idea about what solar panels and wind turbines come with.

Every energy generation endeavour is an all or none, take it or leave it deal. Unless our culture accepts this, incredibly difficult.

Incredibly difficult because every listed business is required by law to grow at all costs and deliver profits and growths to the shareholders. Who has the backbone to put a strict speed limit on profits and growths? How do we police the speeds of business growths? Or how and where do we start?

More incredibly difficult because of sustained campaigns such as individual carbon footprint with backing from some of the deepest pockets.

While on the topic of side effects and by products, another huge elephant in the room is the agriculture industry. I think we can leave it for another discussion.

Indeed, haste makes waste

https://www.revi.cc/ -- found this on another post here. Not sure how to link the post itself, so linking what the post wanted to share. This aims to debloat Windows, and is free and open source.

https://www.byobu.org/ can eschew both screen and tmux Mosh (the mobile SSH client, not linking here) if installing it on the remote server is an option

Every modification and deletion is prevented regardless of the method, be it mv, rm or other commands on the terminal or through a GUI, with or without sudo until sudo chattr -R -i /path/to/directory is performed

I think looking into man chattr is a good option for this

If memory serves me correctly, I think Chomsky did a similar analysis of American print media in the 00s and arrived at similar findings. We've just got ours some twenty years later.
