Kiwix seems to be the most popular app to browse offline web pages like this.
The fact that they do not store any customer data was put to the test in 2023, when the Swedish police raided their offices and left with nothing.
They also spend a lot of time and resources into researching and advancing technology around measured boot and running as much as possible in memory, without having to use disk storage.
Venezuela was sanctioned because of human rights abuses, corruption, and actions undermining democracy under the Maduro government.
Now replace Venezuela with USA, Marduro with Trump and read this sentence aloud. You americans sure like pointing fingers at socialism as being the root of all evil, but ask yourself how your own country is doing at the moment.
A majority of your citizens cannot afford basic healthcare (a human right according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25) without catastrophical economic side-effects that may haunt them for the rest of their lives, due to Republican politics, and you have a president that is trying to speedrun your country into an authoritarian government where free speech is no longer allowed, unless it appeals to the president.
Venezuela's system is not owned by workers but by the state - oil - and a few companies, is state capitalism.
This means that the state of Venezuela is free to decide how to use their own natural resources, the price of it and how to distribute the revenue to enrich the country. In contrast, allowing private companies to do so always ends up in foreign actors taking control over the country's resources with little to no regard for long-term sustainability. History has many examples on foreign states (many times USA) overthrowing governments in such countries in order to priviatize exploitation of natural resources for their own financial gain.

200,000 Guatemalans were killed in the process!
DivestOS sounds interesting but I am wary of any "mission-critical" software project (such as the firmware for my primary phone) that relies on a single person, for multiple reasons. Burnout and potential for social engineering by malicious actors being two of them.
GP:s comment made me curious as well. Usually, if multiple hardware vendors are supported there are separate branches with different maintainers. It doesn't necessarily mean that the main codebase is bloated as a result.
thanks for using Leebra!
