Not everything is about the US

The sad thing is that it works both ways. If a left party in government is improving things but had to do a compromise and therefore couldn’t go all the way the far left is also complaining about that.

Compromise with far right positions should never happen, but compromise in itself is not something bad, and imho it’s one of the main problems in today’s democracy that too many people see it that way.

As with almost all things: it’s good to have principles to stand by, but the world is rarely as black and white as it seems to be.

So you can see mastodon posts on bluesky and bluesky posts on mastodon?

I wonder what kind of securities Taiwan needs in order to bargain with china about it.

Joining NATO, being able to be officially recognised as a sovereign country without immediate sanctions by China against whoever did that? Permanent stationing of western troops?

I feel as if China giving up the claim to Taiwan in exchange for Taiwan’s product capabilities to be made available within the mainland China would lead to China becoming the new global superpower for sure.

Stochastic terrorism is a real thing though - and hate speech against a minority is one of the possible ways fascism can take root in a society.

Germany learned this the hard way how easy it is to overtake a country that was previously one of the most liberal and modern societies. That’s why hate speech against minorities and holocaust denial are forbidden and harshly punished here - and that’s probably one of the reasons why other countries in Europe had their far-right surges in recent years quite a bit earlier since russia had to be more creative about dividing the population

They also decided to only use cameras and visual clues for driving instead of using radar, heat cameras or something like that as well.

It’s designed to be launched asap, not to be safe

Yeah - and they explain why they’ll never do a crypto currency. I don’t see how this is challenging anything I said before

That’s explicitly making clear how bad of an idea crypto is?

Vivaldi has that, too, without the cryptobro People owning the browser.

I switched to Zen, personally as any chromium seems to be doomed unless someone manages to fork the base project and take it away from Google

It’s the first one I’ve paid for. And it is that much better than the free ones I used before imho.

If it’s free then you’re the product

And if you’re the product then there’s an interest to keep you on the site and show you ads which works best if the first result isn’t the correct one and you need to scroll or even go to page two

It’s literally the reason why Google got so much worse that they wanted to show more ads to users which wouldn’t work if the best result is always the first

You can create a search-link that includes your token so you can also use it in incognito or if you are logged out for some reason.

I’m very happy with kagi at the moment. Just crossed one year using it as my main search engine last week and don’t see why I would go back.

I mean AMD heavily relies on Taiwan being independent to even be the company they are. If China takes over most people in power and all the shareholders are fucked - so in this instance it actually makes sense even from a company standpoint to do malicious compliance

Brazil first, Australia 2nd and hopefully EU third nail in the coffin for that clown’s platform

Also great for city climate since heated up cars are acting like a heat battery making it significantly slower for a city to cool down once the sun goes away

Ideally there would be no openly parked cars but I guess this is the next best thing

And even if they don’t keep it: they got browser-level Adblock- and Tracking-Filters that you can just feed the same lists you’d put into uBlock

Sure it’s lacking the spot-blocking, tool if there’s a missed ad or a fine-tuned whitelisting but I think that browser will stay usable even if V3 is implemented.

How are you guys setting up Osmand for bike navigation? Especially within a city I have the feeling it always gives me suboptimal ways. I only want to use cobblestone roads if absolutely necessary, I only want to use parallel streets if there is no dedicated bike path on the main road. In both cases I only find options with a too one-sided option.
