VIENNA (AP) — Austrian prosecutors said Friday they have indicted a former intelligence officer on charges that include supporting a Russian intelligence service in the country’s biggest spying scandal in decades.

A second suspect, a police officer whose name prosecutors didn’t release, was charged with abetting some of Ott’s actions by passing on personal information without official authorization. Both suspects could face prison sentences of between six months and five years if convicted, prosecutors said.

If he is found guilty of those crimes, then 5 years are not enough. Wow.

I tried switching to a different distro but that didn't work at all, so I'm afraid I'll have to push through. I don't mind, there is a reason I chose Qubes initially.

Believe me, I wish I could tell you what I've done :') I wanted to get Whonix, but I think the website eventually led me to QubesOS? All I can say is that at startup it shows the Qubes symbol, so it's likely I got that.

When I try to start sys-net it can't start and says that the Qube sys-net has shut down. I'll provide the error message in a moment if I can't get it up with your other suggestion. Thanks!

eta:

Cannot connect to qrexec agent for 120 seconds.

When I want to check the logs, some other qubes cannot start. Bizarre. I even tried creating a qube without the offending qubes (sys-net etc.) yet it still fails.

Unfortunately it didn't help, thanks anyway!

Sorry for my late reply.

I have a Settings Manager, but searching for 'network', 'internet', 'wifi', 'wlan' and 'connection' yields no results.

In my sky high arrogance I thought 'I have never let Linux grace my devices, how hard can Qubes/Whonix truly be?' and I learned my lesson within minutes.

So I come here before you, humbly and beaten by 0s and 1s, to ask for your help.

How do I open a window where it neatly lists available connections and, if so, my current connection?

Usually when I am connected, it has a wifi symbol on the top right where the rest of my panels are. It disappeared.

I tried searching on the internet for answers. My mental capacity is basically non-existent, otherwise I wouldn't be here (probably).

Please. I just want to connect my device via wifi. I do not own an ethernet cable.

Thank you.

I use Mullvad VPN and they offer a wide range of countries.

In stark contrast to the acrimony in February, there were also lighter moments. Brian Glenn, a pro-Trump TV reporter, told Zelenskyy that “you look fabulous in that suit”. Glenn had asked the Ukrainian leader about his clothing during his last visit to the Oval Office, implying that his casual dress was disrespectful.

Trump jumped in, saying: “I said the same thing.” Turning to Zelenskyy, Trump said: “That’s the one that attacked you last time.”

“I remember that,” Zelenskyy said, before addressing Glenn: “But you are in the same suit ... I changed, you have not.”

Nice one.

This is a shot in the dark because I admittedly have absolutely no idea, but did you try 3rd world vpn servers? I noticed I'm subjected to less bullshit overall if I choose servers in countries that aren't considered 1st world.

US already isn't friendly, or do you consider tariffs and bullying a friendly gesture?

 

I was reading various old posts and the librewolf faq, but none answer my question, so here I am.

Following scenario:

I have the setting against fingerprinting enabled, which is probably the reason why a new private window opens at a set height and set width, 900 and 1600 respectively per about:config.

Now! If I maximise the window, then the inner limits of the window with a webpage do not change (as far as I can tell), what does change is that the original window is embedded now in a bigger window, the bookmarks bar (which I view as separate from the window where a webpage itself is) does stretch to fit to the new size - but as I understand fingerprinting, it's only about the part where the webpage is, not the bookmarks bar or the textbox for the address.

So why does every resource keep saying that maximising the window makes it easier to identify the user if the relevant part of the browser is kept at set height and width even if the window is being maximised? Why having the webpage kind of embedded in a bigger window if it doesn't serve its purpose: Making sure the window is the same size for every user and thus helps against fingerprinting?

Sorry if it is a duplicate, as I said I read old posts and the librewolf faq to no avail.

Thanks!
