It makes strategic sense to decouple from American tech now that they know we’ere an unreliable ally. Microslop won’t guarantee your data won’t go through American servers and jurisdictions. It’s also resistance to Tariff wars and Greenland bullshit that pokes the US in it’s conspirator industry, Big Tech.

Better than Watch MoJo.

I don’t think the proliferation of bad press is anything other than a chronicle of the decline of Firefox.

I’ve been ride or die with Firefox since early, and I’ve never daily driven Chrome. But I’ve had to keep Chrome installed to look at the sites that don’t play with FF. Little by little, FF get’s worse, and most of the “worst” these days are features, not bugs. Though their are plenty of bugs. They certainly deserve praise for keeping faith with ublock. And I appreciate that they respect privacy more than Alphabet.

I want Mozilla to succeed. I just remember when Mozilla made the case with the quality of their software, rather than the quality of their ethics.

To be honest: Windows has been free (for home users) for a while now. To be brutally honest: Most of the users who’ve abandoned Microslop did so with free plugged into the value proposition.

Being concerned about “the kids these days” is pretty old. It was considered pastiche a thousand years before Aristotle. Probably.

Normal people cry at the end of Schindler’s list because of all the Jews who got away. Stephen Miller cries at the end of Schindler’s List because of all the Jews who got away.

Gnome get’s up and out of my way. 9/10.

This is a weird way to say that PC tech is stagnated and improvements between “generations” is incremental.

During the active phase of their genocide, Israel got big mad at DWB. You may remember the reports. Doctors who had just come from places like Syria saw an unusual number of small children with single gunshot wounds to the head and torso.

So doctors with experience in war, experience treating ‘collateral damage’, were saying that you’d expect more shrapnel wounds, or for bullet wounds to be randomly distributed on the bodies of non-targeted wounded children.

Zionists denounced this reporting as antisemitic “blood libel”. Noting the long history of Jews being accused of child-murder. Which might be a good point if these accusations were not evidence based observations from reliable and respectable people. Or if IDF soldiers and Israeli colonists were not already credibly implicated in numerous war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

The only thing holding back a renewable revolution is politics.

Solar cells are cheap, and once installed, harvest free energy for decades with little maintenance. Battery technology is ready for solar on the grid too. Batteries based on sodium are available now. But even the lithium batteries are fantastic. Sure, batteries mean resource extraction and everything that comes with that, but what we extract is being made into durable goods that can be used over and over for decades, then recycled. Fossil fuels are perpetual resource extraction because the product is burned and destroyed.

One day, the number one source of lithium batteries will be old lithium batteries. This is already true with lead-acid car batteries.

Technology Connections Youtube channel just released a video that is the source for my comments. Bonus, the heat-pump guy get’s ‘mad as hell’ toward the end.

As someone who grew up rural, it’s amazing how many people don’t recognize danger in animals. Worse still, they often think in mystical terms like “it can sense I’m a good person”, or the animal’s acceptance of you is some kind of approval. This is a trope in all kinds of media.

I once saw a tourist approach a small herd of buffalo to get a picture. Anyone who’s spent time on the same side of the fence as a bull knows this is insanity. (he was OK, but Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon buffalo will subtract a few from the census every year)

Some of the most terrifying animals aren’t even big. I knew a banty rooster known to have killed two venomous snakes and and a hawk. I’ve also seen him in hot pursuit of a grown men running for their lives. A house-cat in a panic can send you to the hospital.

I don’t understand what you mean. How is one “memory holed”? Presumably this means to encourage people to forget, which is why Sandy Hook is a weird example. Not only was that one of the biggest stories of that year, it echoed through the news cycle for years through lawsuits, the Alex Jones thing being the most famous.

It’s ironic to use anything as an example of something people forgot.

No. the 28M was for her per reporting. They still had to make the movie and advertise it.

It’s not a reverse solar panel. It’s not a solar anything. It requires a difference in heat…

The solar part is because the Sun is responsible for the heat differential.

Christianity teaches that all people are equal

WTF? You know Paul wrote “on women” too.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

What do you call a fly with legs without wings? A walk.

Two men are lost in the desert weak from thirst and starvation. One of them spots something and says Hey man, there is a bacon tree over there! The second man says “no such a thing as a bacon tree, that’s just a mirage”, but the first is already running toward the tree. Just then, a hidden soldier under the tree shoots the first man with a machine gun. As he lay dying, he shouts to warn his friend: “it’s not a bacon tree, it’s a ham bush”.

What about a crazy billionaire who snatches kids off the streets in Florida to sexually abuse with his friends?

If this is the bombshell that was supposed to torpedo Trump, I am not impressed.
