Zero wars? Not exactly. We've had no more direct conflicts between superpowers but still a lot of proxy wars, local conflicts, genocides. We still have a long way to go as humanity. And I think it's only a matter of time before so

I use Firefox on Android, it works pretty good. Having dark reader and uBlock Origin on mobile is a big plus. But I do hate the lack of configuration options, pull-to-refresh, and their need to 'approve' extensions and in particul

> In 31 products, levels of lead were so high that they exceeded the maximum amount anyone should have in a day, according to CR’s experts. Uhh there is no amount of lead anyone should have in a day. It's cumulative and harmful an

I also am thinking of moving again.. I'm not so worried about covid and I'm 100% willing to vaccinate but using masks forever is not something I'm ok with. I have some medical issues that make that really nasty and there is s

Yes and those executives (the European Commission) we don't actually vote for. And those are the ones with the most power. I've always thought that was weird. I'd want to vote for them directly. I don't mind the power tr

Thanks for the paywall free link!! So yeah I agree. Making it all a guided monitored experience kinda takes the whole point of it away. It's not real human interaction if it's monitored and moderated. I think a reactive approach i

This is very worrying. Especially being in the middle of a gas crisis here in Europe. People are facing 3-4x as high gas and electricity prices when their contracts expire! It's already causing mass protests. PS: Annoying site with con

It's not just Facebook though. Satya Nadella's keynote from Ignite was also talking a lot about Metaverse. I agree it will take longer. And it'll probably be a capitalist invention, yes. I would also really love to see a trul

I live in Barcelona city but I have no kids. I often see whole school classes on the metro though, going on school trips. I think the metro is just fine for them. Also, walking everywhere is really feasible. I stopped using the metro for ev

Thanks for your efforts! In my view there's absolutely space for Xorg in the future. Not every OS can run Wayland well and Wayland lacks some X features like network transparency. I kinda hope it'll be backed by an organisation th

It's kinda weird anyway, for showing a QR code it being an app adds no benefit. You can just print the QR code and keep it in your pocket. It's valid for 1 year in most places. On iOS PassBook would be the ideal place for this, no

Reminds me of when I worked at a computer shop in the Pentium 1 days.. Motherboards had these complex blocks of jumpers in those days to configure the speeds, there was no autodetecting the CPU. One day I was working at a different branch f

The OECD has zero legal power however. It's just a "thinktank", they have no way to enforce anything they come up with. I'm sure soft power pressure from the EU was a big factor in this, sure. But they weren't force
