It's interesting that this is happening mainly with Big Names. At the Big Name Im'm working for, this is also being mandated, at the advise of PwC. 4000 people back to the office full-time. I wonder if others are also being influe

It's good you live somewhere where hiding your sexuality is not an issue. But, for argument's sake let's say you can be put in jail or killed for your sexuality. You want to buy something from a specific store that caters exc

I couldn't find that option, so I'd say no

I would say VPN and monero are the digital equivalent to a balaklava and cash. Did you ever use any of those in "real life", or only when committing crimes?

We've tried the banks' way since forever, and we have meltdowns every couple of years, with more money being poured to "save" the banks. Maybe it's time we try a different approach and just let cryptocurrencies be a

If you are privacy-minded, KDE (with the kuserfeedback) should put you off, due to the user data it collects and sends back. You can disable the sending back, but not the collection. There are a number of packets that depend on this, so you

The current consumerist economy is based on scarcity. Green energy (by definition, sustainable) should be anything but scarce, and therefore would allow "weaker" countries to be more self-reliant. This will never be allowed by cou
