  • More Performant, yes. More Secure? Not sure about that

  • They probably lowered it became mullvad is a security company and downlaoing .deb files from the Internet ia a vector for attack

  • Yes, there is. You're risking downloading malicious software.

  • Its more secure to go through a package manager. Checking signatures is important.

  • Systems are much more sustainable without animals. Its not complex science.

    If we want more people to be able to live sustainably off the land, then we should ban animal ag.

    Fertilization is easily achieved with growing green manure. Organic materials composted. All without the ecological devastation caused by animal ag

  • Unfortunately the only countries who have ended prohibition are Canada and Uruguay.

    In Michigan you can legally get tortured (solitary confinement) by the (federal) government for merely possessing small amounts of cannabis.

  • A year ago, China lifted draconian COVID restrictions that were an anvil around the neck of the economy and placed unprecedented controls on a society that, for the previous four decades, had grown accustomed to expanding personal freedoms, not shrinking them

    Definitely not true for folks who use digital privacy tools

  • "When I was coming in '82, people took pictures with cars and paid for the picture

    What the hell does that mean?

  • Before we jump to this, does anyone know the license of the content on alternativeto?

    They have also had some pretty restrictive use of cloudflare that made their content inaccessible to privacy users in the past.

  • From the link, Best Buy paid $90,000. That's awesome! Wouldn't there be a ton of opportunity in suing these big, careless companies that are violating open source? Seems like this would be "the solution"

  • Yes, we should subsidize small-scale oil producers in the Arctic. And artesian cobalt mines in the DRC. /s

    No, the tax would be temporary. We need to increase the carbon tax over time as a means to phase it out. We dont need carbon energy. Likewise, we need to increase animal ag taxes until its phased out. We don't need to eat animals. What we need to do is stop this unjustifiable, harmful activities.

  • While its nice to take holdlidays, I dont think its reasonable to shutdown necessary public infrastructure on holidays. Imagine if the electricity and water systems also shutdown on holidays.

    Anyway, humans aren't needed to operate trains.

  • What did they infringe on?

  • Privacy Browser

    Edit: not sure why I'm downvoted. The browser is literally called "Privacy Browser" on F-Droid.

  • The solution is simple: hefty meat tax.

    Government has tremendous power to address collective action problems through incentives, regulations, and taxation. In the world of public health, these interventions are ranked on a scale called the Nuffield Ladder, with gentle nudges at the bottom and outright bans at the top. One of the most commonly used tools is taxation. In particular, governments can implement what are known as Pigouvian taxes on things like sugary drinks, tobacco, or polluting factories—the idea is to force producers to cover the cost of the harms their products do. They can also slap so-called “sin taxes” on products to increase direct costs for consumers. These taxes work. Numerous studies show that these are very effective in decreasing consumption, leading groups like the World Health Organization to strongly support them. The academic case for such taxes on meat is robust and convincing. But taxes in general are massively politically unpopular and lead to accusations of a nanny state interfering in consumers’ free choice, as the battles over sugar taxes around the world have shown.
