I know this is Buy European, but if you want hot sauce with a Mexican name/theme, how about Mexican hot sauces?
Valentina, Búfalo, El Yucateco, Huichol, La Guacamaya etc.
But not Tabasco, Cholula, Tapatío: all US companies using Mexican culture, names etc.
(Indeed, I live about 30 minutes from the city of Cholula, and "Cholula" sauce is stacked in the "Ethnic/Foreign" aisle of a few supermarkets, and never found in ordinary shops.)
The Linux Mint forums have been knocked offline multiple times over the last few months, to the point where the admins had to block all Chinese and Brazilian IPs for a while.
It's good to support democratic values with our purchases.
But I wonder, for example re smartphones, how many of these alternatives are just European badges on a collection of parts made in China (even less of a democracy than Trump-ruled USA).
Taking Punkt as an example, I did various Qwant searches and came no closer to finding out where their phones and/or components are actually manufactured. (Very clear where the company is headquartered; "Swiss" and "Switzerland" are mentioned every 10 words :D , .ch domain, office in Lugano. But they never say that's where the phones are manufactured.)
To me things like Librewolf and Zen are FF mods, whereas Pale Moon and Basilisk are forks. Mods track the mainstream project, incorporating its updates. Forks say "Goodbye" and go on their own merry way. My 2 centavos.
Got a bunch of these on my computer (FF, mods: Firedragon, Floorp, Librewolf, Zen, ¿Agregore?; fork: Pale Moon) and Zen has been my mainstay since last autumn.
Also tried out a handful of non-FF-related browsers (Dillo, Falkon, Kristall, NetSurf, Servo). Falkon (using it now) seems to be the only one I can really use for proper web browsing. Servo is getting there. Netsurf and DIllo just don't seem usable with the modern web.
I think I'll keep Zen as my main web browser, and Pale Moon or Falkon as a lightweight backup or for special purposes (e.g. web radio). And keep an eye on Servo.
Obscure distros vary in difficulty, some are quite easy, but generally the more obscure they are, the less chance of support through forums, chat rooms etc. That's the main reason why I personally moved from more obscure to more popular (Mint).
Vanilla OS is still pretty obscure (it has Wikipedia pages in only 2 languages, Spanish and German), but I think it's designed to be pretty unbreakable by noobs. (I haven't tried it yet, so can't vouch for that.)
I didn't really know anything about AT Protocol. The idea & potential of the PDS sounds great. The centralized control of the PLC directory is concerning.
I thought I was so original posting this yesterday:
Turns out his own father beat me to it!
