It's a post criticising a popular privacy-focused company. Some people in this community may want to avoid this company's products if they know about stuff like this happening. What the fuck is the problem here exactly?

Your browser clock is not off. LibreWolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser etc. set your browser's reported timezone to GMT to not reveal which timezone you're actually in.

And I don't understand what you're talking about in the last sentence.

The operating system is not the only way of spying, there is already firmware on your device running without your permission, pretty much impossible to see what code its running, and requires expert level knowledge to disable (or tamper with :)) if a third-party firmware implementation that allows disabling the IME doesn't support your device.

Most phones today also just have a non-unlockable bootloader with a spyware Android skin installed. Locking something down to this level is not really impossible.

KDE Plasma has HDR support. You can check if your monitor is supported by booting from a cutting edge KDE distro like Fedora KDE.

How did he survive being injected with diluted acid in the brain?

KDE Plasma has a search feature similar to that of Spotlight. You could try it with Fedora KDE's live ISO.

First of all: You don't need end-to-end encryption for e-mail. Don't choose something like Proton or Tuta just because of that (I highly recommend reading the linked reviews).

Disroot seems to be the only e-mail service which fits your criteria (though screen reader support will depend on what e-mail client you use I guess, not sure about Disroot's webmail in this case but since it allows free accounts you can test it out for yourself.)

Yeah, and the best way to criticize this situation is of course by mocking the victims 🤡

You could just use stoat.chat (formerly known as Revolt) instead of Root, especially with Stoat being FOSS and Root seemingly being proprietary.

It doesn't use any seperate layers of containerization other than flatpak. So if you don't install it via flatpak, it won't be sandboxed.

There is also no proper instance containerization (you can enable it in Bottles's settings, but it's marked as experimental and I've been unable to run a single application with it on), so an app installed on one instance in Bottles will have access to all other instances' files.
