We shouldn’t have embraced the Haber & Bosch ammonia creation process for crop fertilisation just like that, without any baby boom control, so as to prevent an implosion like the one we’re about to live

In year 2000, we were around 24 years younger and the web was still an undeveloped plot of land for kids to play.
Now, it’s mostly a corporate canvas for economic transactions, like the rest of the human experience in the west
Why would the US leave Europe alone after acquiring and destroying Europe's mobile phone manufacturing business?
> Nor do they want a 3rd party browser phoning home with user data.
Then why aren’t chrome, Tik-tok, etc. banned?
JavaScript makes the surf experience a PITA with constant pop ups with consent, subscription. “Cookies or coins”, etc.
I contracted sat TV for a while. I had to pay extra for movies but news channels were free. It was like someone was paying for me to watch that movie
Aren’t no script and uBlock Origin redundant?
Goggle still has special privileges to your computer through Ungoogled chromium.
I’ve uninstalled them and will only use them on a VM
Oh no. Just block every connection through uBlock Origin so you get a mostly JavaScript-less website.
There are so many benefits to browsing without JS
I’m looking forward for Ladybird browser to be released to the General Public. On the meantime, I’m using LibreWolf instead. I’ve uninstalled Firefox after noticing the surreptitious advertising check
Yeah that’s the beauty of consumerism. No matter what your hobby is, there are hundreds of different leisure products for you to acquire and stockpile on top of those of your previous hobby (whose accessories you had acquired)
after hearing about this book, I understood why every shop nowadays is pushing their clients to relinquish as much personal data as possible.
It seems like their real business model is to gather customer data in order to sell it to brokers, and the shops are the bait
If you pour taxes on it, you should at least get a % of the stock
Some don’t. If they are worth it, you can open them with another browser
>First there was the pandemic where there was only bad news not worth watching.
scaremongering people’s amygdalas 24 hours a day for more than six consecutive months must have left a mental scar on people’s minds and the newborn children
I have disabled JavaScript on mobile Safari because I can’t install uBlock Origin and most websites are blackmailing me with either injecting surveillance stuff or credit my bank.
Without JavaScript, all popups are gone
Remember what we will regret on our deathbeds: “I wish I had spent more time arguing with random people on the Internet”
They were waiting to retrieve the phone
Old Spanish was probably closer to the real pronunciation and had also more variety, depending on the whim of the scribe. Most of the greatest works ever written in Spanish are prior to the standardisation by the RAE at the end of the 18th century, indeed
German citizens who bring back Plastic bottles to supermarkets receive 0,25 € for each one. Fields are pristine needless to say
Seems Just like the letter -y at the end of a or Spanish (or English?) word is a glorified i, to make it more legible
Ley, rey, etc.
cigarettes should have serial numbers written on them, tied to the drug addict in question at the counter: this user is purchasing this serial number. Cleaning services could easily report any drug evidence and report it to the authorities
I’m going to train an AI in Visual Basic, see if we can spot the killer
Safari is superior to Chrome. I don’t care much but I’m typing this just out of spite.
Chrome is a telemetry device with the appearance of a web browser.
Firefox is shady abusing telemetry. It seems FOSS but Mozilla has turned into an advertising company and activated adds for every user.
If you want real FOSS, you need to use Librewolf or some other alternative for the time being
