Is that weechat running? I use weechat as well and it is resembling somewhat like that (unless it's irssi , in which case I puked :p).

Which Adblock are extension are you using ( Adblock Plus by any chance?)? I just tried on mobile Firefox with uBlock Origin and rendered fine.

Lots of circle jerking in the rest of the post that OP linked. Reminds me of the sub r/indianpeoplelinkedin (which was just a subset of LinkedIn lunatics basically) back when it used to be active ( dunno now since many smaller communities have closed down).

Also, for some weird reason, LinkedIn won't let me read the rest of the post despite me being logged in on the mobile site. It won't scroll down and just says works better in the app. Dunno if they hate Firefox or mobile users in general. I had to toggle desktop version of the site to get it to load.

There is one called FairEmail. While it technically has a pro version (one time purchase), but most of the needed features are available on the free tier. Plus it's available on F Droid as well, so that's a plus and is continuously maintained.

Oddly, I did know some BASIC and I have vague memories of the numeric line starters like 10 with white text on a black background giving it a retro feel.

Lary Ellison is one of the richest men in the world right and owns some kind of private island or something that he bought basically after showing his shares of Oracle stock?

That makes more sense in context. Another Gang of Four (that I err, know more deeply for some reason) is(read:was) a political grouping in mid 70s in China.

Java was also my first introduction to programming as it was included in Computer Science in final year of school (at college, we did the trusty C).

I think they have replaced Java with Python now in schools because of the latter's popularity and also because many would argue, Python is slightly easier to learn than Java.

I think my first distro was Ubuntu ( but that was because everyone around me was using it only) before I finally migrated to Debian less than a year later. Mint and Ubuntu both use Debian as their base. (Mint technically uses Ubuntu as it's base but has a Debian edition as well for backup reasons).

I know Debian's problem is it's software repos(Debian Stable can be filled with older versions of software). But it can't be denied that it is rock solid (for most part), has a comparatively decent set of software in its repos and a large set of distros use it as their base.

Configuring one's system to always login as root in Linux is significantly easier than rooting an Android phone. One needs to know their way to root their phone and spend significant amount of time tinkering with it so that everything works properly.

As for malicious apps, there are many such apps on the Play Store as well. In fact, I would argue that the safest distribution channel is F Droid and not Play Store.

I can't speak for foreign banks but for banks in my country, they have a problem that is way way worse than any Android stuff can solve ( read: giving access to your account only via SINGLE password and only asking for SMS OTP when transaction is done; and of course no hardware key support). I don't wish my banking data to be less secure than a WordPress account!

Huh, didn't realize that NYT was disliked from before only. I thought it was a decent American newspaper. The only other American newspaper I can think of is Washington Post, but that is so capitalist friendly to say the least.

Among overseas newspapers, I had decent idea of UK based ones (looks and judges Sun readers :p) but not otherwise.

Ah, NYT. Amongst all subscriptions that I have come across in my country, NYT is the most expensive. Since they haven't heard of region specific pricing and just multiply by exchange rate; it's only six times more expensive than YT Premium in India.

Atleast I was under the belief that they had decent editorial standards but looks like that ship has sailed away as well.
