A democracy with only two options is a dictatorship of the winner. Your political influence isn’t limited to voting though, voting is the first action in a democracy, not the last.

By not voting they support all of it.

If you just want to use it from your home computer / network you can run it locally, either installing it directly or in a container. You only need a server (or a way to connect to your home network) if you want to access it from elsewhere.

The period after MS stopped messing with it and before software stopped supporting it was the nicest time to use Windows 7, I expect it to be the same for Windows 10.

If you want nudge your government to the left you certainly won’t achieve it by letting the candidate from the right win.

So, since Elon doesn’t want it anymore, we could now reclaim the word “tweet” as a generic term for posting on social media, regardless of platform.

The study says “subluminal” in its abstract, the linked article hides that between lots of speculation and talk about fictional FTL warp drives, so I’d say the study is ok, the article is clickbait.

https://www.qnap.com/en/product/qda-a2mar seems to be the one in your image. From the users guide it seems it does everything you listed. The prices I’ve seen are about 100 € / $ though plus the two SSDs you need, personally I’d invest in external backup instead, that covers more data loss scenarios than this adapter.

Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram - a compressed block device in RAM that can be formatted as swap. There are various tools to set it up, maybe your distro already includes one of them. And htop has a meter for it, so you can see how effective the compression is (besides its own zramctl tool).

100%. If it seems too innocent or self-aware it’s Flanders.

repairs are not a matter of subsidies. Only new infrastructure is supported.

That’s a big problem. If you incentivize a company to not maintain the infrastructure because you will pay for it once it’s completely broken it will be completely broken.

If no person does anything nothing changes.

Of course your own choices in isolation don’t change much. But that’s like saying voting doesn’t do anything because a single vote doesn’t matter. We all can make choices that add up through all of society.

If you want to continue using any of them, you should probably uninstall any Chrome-based browser now: https://techreport.com/news/google-tries-to-defend-its-web-environment-integrity-as-critics-slam-it-as-dangerous/

“Through WEI, Google aims to help websites weed out bots by verifying that the visitors on their domains are actual users.”

In other words, if this gets implemented it is likely that Youtube will block anything that doesn’t look like a “real browser” (i.e. Chrome), so no videos in alternative apps anymore.

Yeah, I added the link since the embedded image didn’t seem to work.

Hm, how do images work across instances? Maybe this way?

If you want to push back against the rising right-wing bigotry modding a decently sized subreddit might be one of the most effective places for regular people to do so. Arguably that power is not irrelevant in today’s social media landscape.
