Because it can be used against you in one way or another. You never know were the data end up at. It could leak or the government force them to give the data and lower your score in any system.
Yes, pollution is a big problem. Not sure why so many people ignore it.
I keep it simple and use the communal traffic(bus/train) instead. I have never bought a car and don't miss it as i live near the things I need grocery store and workplace(bike 5km).
Some users are required to use Windows. It could be the professional software for work only runs on Windows. Or system administrator are forced to use it in their IT environment.
You don't want it to get worse, as it will be more pain for them.
You want the alternatives to be better, easy to get, (like every PC comes with a menu with what OS do you want to install).
Full software support for everything would be a dream.
It is extreme hard to find a phone with Lineage OS preinstalled in the stores. Very hard to install it by my self, we can't assume everybody can do this.
People will not leave Youtube. They got too many videos. I believe they will just find some proxy solutions or similar.
Using anything else will for the author just result in they get paid less.
As someone once said to me. Microsoft is not something you like, but is something you have to withstand due to Enterprise use it so much, and have so many users.
But when it comes to the browser, then you have to follow the standard for HTML, and suddenly you can choose something else.
They think Chrome as everybody have a Gmail account but not Microsoft account. I dont think you can login to Edge with a Google account and get all your stuff there. At minimum you first must install Chrome, then start Edge and trigger the import process - but why do that when you now already have Chrome installed?
People don't have an alternative. Microsoft will choose for them at the next Windows update and pick auto MS Edge as the default browser again. They are solving problems...
Yes, they can, like any other company or organization can. But they can't remove the humans producing. That means the humans will just go anywhere else.
Youtube is a standalone product that they probalby want to keep as I think it pays for itself with that amount of ads.
Youtube is just the database with video. Just use a different frontend. The problem is if I actually want recommended videos but without Google knowing about it, then it is hard due to the massive amount of videos. Only Google have the money so scan everything.
If there was no browser workaround i wound use a third party client and possibly selfhost it for family.
Hard to get away from Youtube itself.
I wonder how many % of the users actually use any adblockinf tool
You know that if we look at for example Chernobyl how many did varies a lot between who you ask. That is even today. You also need to think of those who did not die but survived with some damages. Chernobyl is not over so you can't even stop counting who died from it. It will take very long time before it is over.
Yes, I agree with you that pollution is a even bigger problem that I can't understand that no one cares about it. Seeing on TV that people going to work in a smog of smoke and they don't react. It is deadly!
Personally, I agree that fossil fuel should banned for example for cars. There are alternatives, maybe not as good but you will survive. Teleports does not exist yet but we survive somehow anyway.
Yes, you can write bad code and that matters most.
Rust is more low level than high level language. Rust is new so not much bloat library has been written yet :)
So far I have seen many lean Rust applications in the open source world. Please note I used the word "should" - no guarantees.
SQLite makes minimum memory usage much lower than MySQL. Many that would selfhost this is just for one single user and don't need a standalone database
I can image that the application itself for doing this would not require much ram at all but having a MySQL requires much more ram usage in order of magnitudes.
Just go to Chernobyl and build there. Deal with the aftermarch now instead of later. The order matter because then they will understand there is a big problem with nuclear power.
Yes, it have even happened in modern time. Look at what happened at Japan 2011 fukushima. It will happen again. Political/economic/misstakes will happen again.
Just look at Russia firing at nuclear plants... we are doomed.
