Correction, Europe must hurry to develop itself and don't rely on US for anything, US is lost. It's just crony capitalism and dumb people these days.

Cool, looks a lot like mine :)

This, I've just installed it this week and I think it's better than Google (though I'm suspicious of the "free" service.

I live in a shitty house from the 50s in Poland, poorly insulated AND I walk around the house on a t-shirt if I want... the problem is the energy I have to spend. Heat-pumps are not a miracle if your house is poorly insulated.

Let's be clear in one thing:

  • There's no free lunches.

That's it. Everything in the Universe, including you, has a "price" on energy. Now outside of all crony-capitalism craziness, we should all consider having a open, distributed, fair price Internet and it's resources.

I'm calling Louis.

“With CalRx, we are getting at the underlying cost, which is the true sustainable solution to high-cost pharmaceuticals,” Newsom wrote in a message explaining why he vetoed the bill on Saturday. “With co-pay caps however, the long-term costs are still passed down to consumers through higher premiums from health plans.”

Makes sense, when you block a corporation by increasing taxes, they will always pass the "new" cost to the consumers, in this case the "competition" will provide true lower costs...

I'm sorry, but when a title says "here's what you need to know"... immediately a red flag to not open the site.

They just buy good ideas to monetize the shit out of them without giving users new features, and when the revneu stream dies, they kill the app and but the "next best thing".

Essentially, Google is killing creativity, expansion, usability and profitability for small companies just for the "ad revenue".

I'm de-googling as fast as I can.

It's a duality...

  • In Europe, you can get a hefty fine if you are a public figure and slander someone else without evidence, see the two examples below on the same politician, a MEP (former):

So it's not like in US where the "first amendment" allows you to derail everyone and everything without consequences...

At the same time, EU wants to fight criminality, e.g. drug cartels, money laundering, terrorism, human trafficking, etc... by removing encryption that makes investigation "more" difficult...

And if you think about it, most people use encryption and other security measures not because they are criminals, but because they are essentially "owned and spied" by big tech...

As some douchbag once said, the government doesn't care which porn sites you visit or with who you go to bed with...

Every now and then just throw a "miau", in the conversation... 🤪
