I use LibreWolf when finding torrents, and I use Firefox for my normal day to day use. I wouldn’t call myself a power user though

What browser do power users use?

Yes, that is what I do with the same setup

To be fair, there is open source hardware- Arduino and whatnot. But a microcontroller is a lot simpler than a full computer.

Most likely. It happens all the time - wingnuts propose legislation that they know will never make it out of committee to try to make a point, or to have in their back pocket for the next election. “See! I tried to do this, but the evil other side stopped me!”

On the other hand, it is Indiana, so you never really know. Ass backwards “middle finger of the South” state

Greenwald used to be a respected journalist. Now he’s a right wing hack

Unironically yes.

Make all drugs legal, so they can be regulated for purity/safety, and treat addiction like a disease, rather than a personal failing

Maybe the decision to have children is highly personal and should be left up to individual people to decide, either way?

I started around 2018, using crouton to run Ubuntu on a Chromebook so I could have better functionality. I went back to Windows for a while, then I started using Pop!OS as my daily driver last year. I still don’t know if I love it, but I’m sticking with Linux of some flavor going forward.

Thanks!

I mean, I suppose that’s fair. I guess paying for email with Monero feels a bit like overkill to me, but it depends on your threat model

No problem!

Relevant XKCD

True, but WireGuard is on their roadmap of features in the works

Do you need to pay for your email provider with Monero? If it’s the VPN that you primarily care about, then I believe Mullvad accepts Monero

I believe those were agreements signed by Trump that Biden had to follow through on, no?

But let’s also be clear, Biden appointed the first Native Secretary of the Interior and signed the Inflation Reduction Act (the most significant climate legislation the US has ever had). Trump appointed Scott Pruitt to lead the EPA.

I mean, you’re more than welcome to try! I’m just curious why this issue in particular strikes you as a high priority

I like the Green Party’s eco-socialism, but their anti-vaccine lunacy and inability to do anything electorally beyond run a presidential candidate every four years doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies.

I like Cornel West, and I appreciate his long-standing commitment to left-wing and anti-racist values.

That said, I live in the real world, where Donald Trump is running as an open fascist promising to make America a dictatorship if elected, and Joe Biden is the only candidate running with a realistic chance of beating him.

So I’ll be voting for every Democrat I possibly can, while wishing they were better than they are, as always.

Two questions:

1. Eating bugs is not an abnormal human behavior, and it is not uncommon in cuisine across the world. So I don’t see how that’s a negative thing, inherently?
2. How would using cash translate into a message of “people power”? You’re still paying the same amount of the same currency for the same product, just in a different form.

I also really dislike the pop-ups and “recommendations” that I have no interest in. It feels like I’m being advertised to when I’m specifically already paying, in part to remove ads.

That, along with their incessant and poorly communicated A/B UI testing, is making me more and more frustrated. Don’t get me wrong, the price for a Duo membership is excellent for the amount of music available, but I have started to build out my own collection that I can stream through Plex as a backup, since I expect their platform to only get worse over time
