Ugh, don't remind me. That was a great piece of freeware before it went sour. :( But, there are many many alternatives these days: Deluge and qBittorent are both pretty decent uTorrent replacements.

> Did you know that as a company looking to bypass adblockers you can pay ad blockers to whitelist you? That is extortion money! Adblock does this, but to my knowledge uBlock does not.

Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but self-hosting email can be a fun challenge. Lavabit had a privacy focus and look what happened to them.

In the pre-Crusades 'dark ages', Europeans were by-and-large ignorant of Aristotle. Christianity was popular, and the philosophic framework was predominantly Neo-Platonic. Fortunately, Aristotle's work was preserved and comme

The Epiphany core is a co-processor, and the "main" processor is a couple of ARM cores to run Linux/other. Maybe in the future they will offer boards with Risc-V main processors, and Epiphany co-processors. I'm not sure

Are there any active attempts at finding alternatives to proof-of-work?

Norway is more of a social democracy than a democratic socialism, but I take your meaning. Agreed, China has not been communist for some time now.

To expand a bit more, there are many different definitions of money. Here are some measurable ones, roughly defined: M0 - Currency in Circulation, physical coins and notes in public circulation. MB - Monetary Base, M0 + physical coins and n
