Lots of reasons to dislike Google. That is not one of them.

Still a commendable act

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

The Kyoto Protocol would have been ratified. Could you imagine if we had an international agreement with legally-binding emissions reductions in place in 2000? The Paris Agreement is the best we have, and it’s simply not as strong as Kyoto would have been

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

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

Thanks!

My understanding is that degrowth is a movement not necessarily away from growth altogether, but tailoring growth or contraction to meet the needs of human and planetary well-being. For example, the things you mention, especially in the Global South, can raise standards of living. But it’s plain to me that in the Global North, we are already over-developed and extracting resources to create profit rather than to improve lives. I think we could contract the economy while making lives better, if only we could align our economic policies with the world’s real needs. I’d recommend checking out Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics, I find it to be a useful framework.

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

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 believe LineageOS has a wider selection of devices

I’ve seen LibreWolf mentioned a few times. What’s the difference between the two?

Oops, you are right! Thanks for catching that

And Dan testified for the plaintiffs as an expert witness! Pretty incredible

SimpleLogin. It’s owned by Proton, and I use their VPN and mail quite a bit. And it can be integrated with BitWarden to generate random usernames that forward to your mail account

Can you explain more? I don’t really use Windows - is balenaEtcher injecting something into my Linux ISOs to get telemetry after I install the OS?

What makes it spyware? I’ve seen it recommended a lot and never come across this before
