Oh God I just got back from a trip to Alaska and I must have at least 50 mosquito bites ๐ญ
It's important to keep a materialist outlook. It's a mistake to only look at "the effect of state transparency on society," without considering the effects of society/material conditions on state transparency.
In general, when a state is under threat it tends to crack down on dissent, and silence public scrutiny to a certain degree. This is a nearly universal rule.
For a basic intro, I would recommend "Principles of Communism" by Engels. It's a super quick read, and it's organized in a FAQ format.
Beyond that, it really depends on what in particular you're interested in. For economics, I can highly recommend "23 things they don't tell you about Capitalism" by Ha-joon Chang (although it's more about capitalism than socialism). For learning about the state, nothing compares to "The state and revolution" by Lenin.
I've used the Gazzew u4ts with the new plastic, and it's basically indistinguishable from the boba version.
You can also get boba u4s in black color so that they don't discolor.
Interesting article thanks for sharing. It reminds me of how in my home town Walmart, nearly everything is locked away behind cages (even stuff like toothpaste).
Yes, this is the most annoying thing about Jerboa right now. I think something like checking the domain against the list of federated instances would work ok.
I might take a look at this when I have time. I was thinking it could be fun to help with Jerboa dev

Do you have an old laptop lying around? That's a great way to try out Linux without wiping out your main system. Most hardware, especially if it's a few years old, has excellent support in Linux.
There are antivirus programs for Linux, but I wouldn't recommend it. First of all malware targeting Linux is so much more rare than malware targeting Mac or Windows, but also Linux has some better security practices in general, like not requiring you to run everything as administrator. Most distros will come with a firewall installed that you can configure if you want.
Linux is one of the most reviewed pieces of software in the world. It's used by every major company, and in almost all of the Internet servers you visit. The chances that it's exfiltrating your passwords is extremely low. Linus has even discussed in an interview that the NSA proposed to put a backdoor in Linux, but he refused.
To get started, I would recommend just installing a beginner-friendly distro like Linux Mint on an old laptop or desktop you have lying around. It's actually super easy to jump in, and you'll learn a lot more by actually trying it out compared to reading some beginner guide.
Good luck! I've been using Linux as my daily driver for over 10 years now and I would never go back to Windows ๐
