Based on your source apparently it's carried out in collaboration with the Ecuadorian government.

CoMaps has a good UI and the map looks less cluttered, but it lacks quite a few of the features of OsmAnd like public transport routing.

Linux is generally used by techies, and techies IMO aren't usually good at actually understanding politics and geopolitics, and thus very much exploitable by the right.

I wouldn't judge Linux by the quality of its most visible users though. Linux and the FOSS ecosystem are an important factor for establishing digital sovereignty and thus independence from imperialist tech and influence. PRC, Russia and DPRK and even the EU are known to have at some point used FOSS to create alternative tech solutions to lessen their dependence om foreign tech and thus FOSS is still of more use to the left rather than to the right.

P.S. Welcome to Lemmygrad! Hope you enjoy it here!

On Android you can just use a native client like PipePipe. It doesn't show you ads, you can turn off recommendations and even subscribe to accounts without logging in.

English translationTense night in Burkina Faso after suspected coup attempt

In Burkina Faso, the night of Saturday 3 to Sunday 4 January was turbulent in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. Responding to a call from associations belonging to the Veille citoyenne (Citizen Watch) – which supports the military regime – hundreds of people took to the streets to block "a coup attempt".

Several barracks in the Burkinabe capital were on alert because "the situation was described as tense" by several security sources, who did not provide further details. Since this night-time alert, security measures have been visible on Sunday 4 January in front of the Baba-Sy camp in Ouagadougou, according to several residents contacted in the capital.

Furthermore, media outlets supporting the current military regime have announced several arrests and accused the former transitional president, Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Henri Sandaogo Damiba, of being behind the plot from Togo, where he has been in exile since his fall from power in September 2022.

It should be noted that several soldiers were arrested at the end of September on suspicion of complicity in an attack against state security.

Hundreds of Ibrahim Traoré's supporters – the Wayignans – took to several public squares and roundabouts in Ouagadougou during the night, with the aim of forming a bulwark against this new coup attempt.

Several Facebook pages supporting Captain Ibrahim Traoré issued an alert late at night, claiming that this destabilisation plan included the assassination of soldiers close to Captain Traoré.

According to this code, "CEREAL" is a valid Roman numeral which equals 154. Great job!

Happening quite a bit lately, apparently they are trying to detect third-party clients and block suspicious IPs for up to several hours. This also goes for Invidious et al.

Hello, comrades. I'm here for your suggestions.

As the title says, I have been having a really hard time trying to read texts. I just find it very hard to concentrate on large text. I used to love reading, but all the years spent in the education system and having to read/study for lessons that I don't really care for made me (or, most probably, my brain) dislike reading, and I still haven't fully overcome that state of mind. I start to read a book, but I can't keep reading for long. Also I'm easily getting distracted (surely a trait that I picked up while being on social media), so practically reading any book or long text, even if I find it really interesting or useful, gets even harder and progress may slow down to < 10 pages a day at times.

So, has anything like that ever occured to you? How did you overcome it? Thank you for reading this, comments will be appreciated.

Edit: Thank you for all the replies! It seems like many comrades went through something similar and I appreciate your replies.
