Being unthinking is one thing. But the degree that they actively avoid thinking is remarkable to me.

I saw them going for $10 yesterday in CA. People have reported them going as high as $18. Chicken is also quite expensive and in short supply due to the bird flu disruptions

I am not optimistic. Kevin Rose spent the last few years doing crypto/NFT nonsense, and is now on the AI train. Plus, link aggregators have tried to double down on AI with mixed results. See the example of Artifact, which crashed and burned just last year. There is no business model for this, and if there were, I wouldn't trust Kevin Rose to deliver it. I say this as someone who was a massive Digg/Revision3/Diggnation fan as a teenager but grew disillusioned.

The article discusses that. This is bringing the EUs approach to Brazil

A lot of them are beyond help. Brains too melted. But there are some people who might not have turned out to vote, due to apathy, or getting hung up on specific issues they were unhappy with Biden about, who are now realizing their mistake. I wish these people had been paying attention, and voted more proactively rather than reactively. Everything he's doing now was warned about.

Another comment suggested that helped with LibreWolf, but that is a closer fork than Pale Moon, so not sure

That's analogous to saying you won't call any numbers on certain carrier

It's possible, but your overall service is devalued if you can't connect to a large group of people.

I get what you're saying. But it undermines their efforts in other forums to try to fight climate change, if elites there are cashing in on carbon-heavy crypto, while everyday folks suffer from collapse of fisheries, saltwater intrusion into groundwater, etc

The existence of everyday Palauans is threatened by climate change (sea level rise, coral reef death, heightened typhoon intensity), which is being accelerated by the energy use of proof-of-work coins. Sad to see the Palauan government sell out their own people

Self-hosting and FOSS are the way to go. We saw this demonstrated when Raspberry Pi started acting stupidly as a company. There are so many alternatives that it is easy to switch. Unfortunately some things are pretty tough to self-host, like email and anonymizing VPN. But there are a lot of low-hanging fruit that makes it less painful to divest from bad companies.

Here to cheerfully crush your hopes and say he does!
