If you're looking for candidate apps to consider removing, du -sh /usr/bin/* /usr/lib/* | sort -h is one quick way to find some that use significant amounts of space. On my system for example that points out things including blender, chromium, firefox, libreoffice, llvm, gcc, java, and pandoc as using a lot of space. It may not catch everything but it's better than just guessing.

GNU Taler is not your enemy. It may not solve every problem you'd like it to, but its adoption by the masses would be a vast improvement in privacy compared to the current state of commerce in every country where it has the slightest chance of happening any time soon.
Doesn't seem likely to me, but it's a good thought.
I am talking about being bigoted against "rednecks" who are mostly no more racist than everyone else. I grew up in redneck territory and support those who reclaim it as a label of pride.
If all of civilisation collapses into ruin, at least we will have the consolation that "tipping" will be abolished along with everything else.
Having read the actual description of the protocol, such as it is, I should add in the interest of fairness that those "30 generated porn credits” do get you 30 new key pairs each month. They are issued directly by the central authority which knows exactly who they're issuing them to, and the public key is presented directly to web sites you visit. But they promise not to track how you use them.
That it's so absurd and poorly designed is reassuring in a way. It's difficult to imagine anyone using this.
Does Xfce count as light? It's got plenty of features. Should fit in 4gb well enough though.
If I'm not mistaken you were talking about how things work "on my phone" but I suppose you had in mind that the principle would apply to desktop as well.
In practice it does somewhat come down to how well containerized and locked-down the environment is, so I think the difference does matter. Android for instance sucks in very many ways, but it's somewhat reliable in usually keeping apps from interfering with each other. There are a few desktops that try to do that, but they're still not too popular I think. Desktop users are used to having full control of everything. Seems to me the pervasive compartmentalization of everything (it wouldn't be sufficient for the purposes we're talking about to put only Signal in a secure container) is accepted as necessary on mobile devices mostly because so many of the apps are terrible.
If you have root, intercepting all the user's keystrokes is trivial.
Since SST is relatively stable (compared to more volatile things like air temperature) and is generally increasing, it's actually not unprecedented for it to be setting new daily record highs for an extended period of time. That happened during the 2016 el niño as well. It's just that this time it went on for longer than ever (I think) and was breaking previous records by an amount that's quite large for most of that time.
It's now no higher than it was last year, but it still has a long way to go before it reaches temperatures observed in years before that.
