Unfortunately, the petitions sub exists in order to divert justified and righteous anger into clicktivism. Your MP’s inbox, however, is open.

Isaiah Berlin’s negative and positive liberty in one product

First time I’ve ever heard of simple search, looks like a widget app and not an actual search engine. I’d recommended switching that out for something like Mojeek or Brave Search.

Ah yes, Pavel Durov, Tucker Carlson and “Vigilant Fox” the holy triumvirate of Good Information.

As an owner of both a pinephone and a pinebook pro I would say don’t with the phone unless you’re really prepared to completely upturn everything you do with a phone. It’s really not at a place where it’s a simple consumer-grade device to be used in place of your current smartphone.

The pinebook, however, is absolutely magnificent and I take it with me anytime I need a device I’m not so worried about losing and that crucially CAN CHARGE OFF A PORTABLE BATTERY OMG!
