It's exactly like AI. Could the technology be useful were it to be used in service of goals that would serve humanity? Absolutely. Will it be used by billionaires in a way that will be harmful to most people in order to further entrench their power? Most definitely.
I guess I'm the only loser nerd to like this change. They basically turned the address bar into a command line. It reminds me of Vimperator command line of the wild pre-extension revamp days when you had commands to do or automate pretty much anything with keyboard commands. You could actually use the browser without a mouse. Good times.
I've been reading that Wallabag has some kind of integration with Kobo. You might wanna google that.
Yeah, do not even for a second entertain the notion that European companies wouldn't love it if your health insurance were held hostage by your employment like it is in the USA.
The truth of the matter is European quality of life has been coasting on the gains made in the past by the blood and sweat of the unions and the concessions made by the governments to stave off the specter of communism. Billionaires in the US are seeing this slice of wealth and are coming for it via the populist right-wing parties in every country. If anyone can get this fact through the thick skull of anti-immigrant voters, let me know.
We have seen with the Russian invasion in Ukraine that people are way more willing to accept white/christian people as refugees. Also the US has a southern border as well, if you really have to escape by land.
If you really have to worry about something, I would worry more about conservatives coming to power in Canada. They would probably cooperate with Republicans or at the very least make it legally harder to flee even if it might go against the will of the majority of Canadian people.
I use an old wooden spatula to get anything stuck off my pan. Wouldn't want more plastics in my food than what is already in there.
Right now, wherever you are, there are people paid by the USA trying their best to make your life worse in order to
- Align your country's foreign policy closer to the goals to that of the USA
- Shape your economy so that American corporations can enrich themselves by extracting the maximum value out of your country.
So yeah, there is no escape from America. That's the whole point of being the global hegemon.
New York is the Tashkent of America!
My dish sponge is plastic.¯(ツ)_/¯
Brother Russian bots are at least getting paid for it. You are in this thread "protecting" fucking Hillary of all people, with your life, FOR FREE. Who is the real idiot here?
Bro do you think any other person giving the exact same speech as Hillary would be paid that kinda money? The banks aren't paying her for her oratory chops. It's influence purchasing. Be serious.
I lived on this planet for decades DECADES before I knew this. How could you do this to me?

If you have other progressive political streamers in your part of America, I'd love to give them a listen if you don't mind sharing. Love discovering new voices.
Why do you suggest Mint over Ubuntu?
Yes, the unwillingness to condemn and the ongoing support of the US for the despot that took away Egyptians' democracy.
Egypt is the Arab state most complicit in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians.
You say that like Egypt is not another country that's dominated by the US. The "Arabs" they rose up and took back control of their country in 2011 only to have it taken away from them again in a US supported coup, thanks Obama! Would Egyptians themselves support the genocide like we know most Israelis do?
Some people are taller, smarter or better looking than me.
Yep. Quite a bit of people are all of these.
And then you realize it's not about people using correct bathrooms but banning all trans people from all bathrooms.
You can see from all the demon libs here in this thread that it wasn't even close to being the central reason why Kamala lost. They don't give a fuck tens of thousands of gazan children were blown to bits, crushed to death beneath collapsing blocks, shot in the head all with their money.
