That's just a made up fact by the TL;TR bot. In the linked source it just says "Chromium-based browsers including Chrome and Microsoft Edge. " Nothing about Firefox.
For government documents you need nothing but a plain old certificate to create a digital signature. If there is a single instance of trust (such as a government) there absolutely no point in using a blockchain.
Decentral NFTs for concert tickets would only make sense if you were looking for a solution to liberate the second market, i.e. people selling tickets to other people without involvement of the host of the concert. Such a model is neither beneficial for the hosts (as they wouldn't benefit from the second market sales) nor the visitors (as the second market typically leads to even higher prices). If you meant a way to return/trade tickets on a platform controlled by the host / the original issuer of the tickets, then there's again no need at all for crypto aside plain old, stupid certificates.
For people without IT background, I can recommend Mozilla common voice. They plan to release an advanced AI model for text-to-speech or speech-to-text conversion, e.g. for an offline, open source alternative to Amazon Echo, Siri etc.
To train the model they need at least 10000 hours of speech samples per language. So you can donate your voice by reading aloud small snippets, checking already recorded samples or making up new sentences.
Is non-alcoholic beer reallly more expensive than the regular? In Europe they're on par in most places. In Northern Europe (Norway, Denmark) it's even significantly cheaper due to taxes.
For me that behavior was expected. E.g. if I open a link from incognito in a new window, then it obviously should also use incognito but share its context with the previous sessions, otherwise it would require you to login over and over again. If an independently opened incognito window behaved different from a link-click window, I'd find it even more confusing.
Stuff Made Here: Crazy talented maker with a huge set of skills, tools and ideas. Add a good portion of humor and a a slightly annoyed wife who has to test all the inventions. Very inspiring for makers and entertaining for non-makers. Hard to call it a niche as he has 4.4 million subscribers but as OP also listed the lock picking laywer I think it's fair. 😁

I don't know about the real numbers but I feel like there's sufficient interesting content to check it several times a day. So if stays stable I'm pretty happy with status quo.
I quickly googled some numbers, so no guarantee for 100% correctness.
Desalination uses about 3.6kWh/m3 of water.
A generator can produce around 1.5kWh/litre of fuel.
500,000 litres of fuel would result in 750,000 kWh.
750,000 kWh would result in 208,333 m3 or 208,333,000 litres of water.
That theoretically would allow you to create around 200 litres per person if you use the entire amount of fuel on water desalination.
But this calculation only works in a hypothetical scenario and not in a real life scenario. Distribution of the water to all the people will require a lot of energy as well, e.g. for tank trucks. And I think in an active war zone you probably won't find world class logistics.
Furthermore, you also need fuel and electricity for other critical infrastructure: firetrucks, hospitals, phones, cooking, ...
Isn't clear and transparent rules a pretty good way to tell users what to expect from a community? I mean, you are free to offer or request help elsewhere if you don't want to comply to the set of rules. You can even start your own community if you'd like. I think it's for sure better than individual moderators deciding based on a gut feeling and blocking random posts and users.
As much as I'd appeciate a shift away from Reddit elsewhere, I have to admit that Reddit is often among my most helpful Google results. No matter how stupid the recent management decisions are, it grew to a massive knowledge database over the years. Banning it from search engines would have a negative impact on the overall internet experience.
That doesn't sound a lot tbh... If you calculate with 2M people there, it's just 0.25 litres per person. I don't think that would be sufficient to filter vast amounts of water.
I think it's always about absolutes in the end. If a vegan drives by car 100000 miles and takes several flights a year that's definitely worse than an omnivore staying at home all day. Ideally, you stay at or around home AND be a vegan AND only buy second hand AND avoid electronics etc.
If you are interested in how your personal lifestyle ranks against the average, just google for CO2 footprint calculator. If you want to do a good one, it will take at least 30 minutes as you have to answer quite some questions. This will give you not only an indication of where you are right now but also in which areas you have most room for improvement.
I think if everyone seriously tries their best and actually tried to improve their lifestyle it would have an immense impact. Unfortunately, most people seem to just blame "the industry" or "the politicians". Of couse, they also play a role but we'll never get a better world overall, if people aren't willing to cut back on their lifestyle. And cutting back involves many many aspects. Veganism ist just one of them.
I also don't understand the comparison to piracy but I think being a vegetarian is definitely more ethical than being an omnivore as long as you don't overcompensate meat with other animal products. If you stop eating chicken and in exchange start to eat an additional 3 eggs a day, that's probably worse for animals and nature.
If you just cut back on meat and replace it with vegan alternatives while eating the same amount of cheese, eggs etc. as before it DOES have a positive impact and we should appeciate one's efforts.
Hell, even flexitarians have a positive impact. Right now, there's around 90% omnivores worldwide. If all these omnivores reduced their consumption of animal products by let's say 20%, it would have a far bigger impact than another 2% going full blown vegan.
Furthermore, it can be tough to go vegan all of a sudden. It takes time to change your diet, learn about healthy protein sources, essential nutrients and stuff. Going flexitarian first, then vegetarian and potentially vegan allows you to take one step at a time.
Also being vegan is not where it ends in terms of caring for the environment. You can keep reducing your personal footprint indefinitely. No more flights, no car, less electricity, less shopping. Everything helps. And everyone should try to contribute in the way that feels the most manageable for your personal circumstances.
