I also use Duckduckgo as a default and only have to use Google maybe once per week, and then I use the !g shortcut from Duckduckgo.

Because there are articles showing the vaccines are not effective and even dangerous as well. We can't hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time.

Of course. The conspiracy guys has been the ones who have been correct through this pandemic, predicting every escalation, and the coming response. If you are someone intelligent who wants to know about covid for real, you should read the c

You are not kidding? That list has only fast food items on it. Where is the home cooked meals with veggies and meats in different sauces etc? Today I had meat sauce. Yesterday I made a fish soup.

Which is what all those "conspiracy theories" was about. Honestly, I feel like the conspiracy guys has been far more accurate than the media about covid. The things they said would happen has happened, with about 6 months delay. W

It's been interesting watching how "conspiracy theories" turns into mainstream news about 6 months later. The years of 2020 and 2021 has been absolutely insane.

Why are all your suggestions about protecting people? Don't you realise there is a huge profit opportunity? If big pharma can get billions of people signed up for regular booster shots and new vaccines, they will become enormously powe

I don't think fashionable is the right word since doomers really don't care about what's popular. For me personally, I just watch society and i think we are on our last chapter as a species.

Yep. Not much inventive to keep their software fast - if it gets slow, people buy more hardware from them!

To me, it's obvious that "social" media is extreamly bad for people, and specially extra bad for young people who compare themselves with others a lot. If we figured too much TV was bad for people, "social" media is

I dislike code reviews because there is always some guy deciding how things should be. Let's not pretend that the developer has any special say in how the code should look, even though he wrote it. It can be highly demotivating to work

A small minority of us are moving over to the new peer to peer decentralised web because it feels much like the internet was before big tech destroyed all individuality: https://fediverse.party/

I also did, because pulseaudio was giving me weird sound issues (although they are probably because of Bluetooth to be honest). But I found out about pulsewire and after switching, it just works, so... Plan on keeping using it.

It's Microsoft. The other cloud providers are lightyears ahead so maybe switch to a proper one.

It's the same with Linux. If it would be super popular and mainstream, the corporations would destroy everything that's fun with it in order to sell you things and track your data.

The name is awful. I certainly don't want to spread the word about "scuttlebutt". So I guess that's a good thing, keeps it small and cosy.

People are dumb, specially the tech community. I've been watching for at least 10 years how everyone switched to chrome because it's faster. Now we have one mega corporation in charge of both most of the search and most of the bro

It's about the culture. Windows doesn't respect your privacy and you are treated like a child, because most people who run Windows wants Microsoft to make all decisions for them, just like a parent.

The US has more than 300 million people and quite different cultures in the different states. Then Scandinavian countries have like 5-10 million people and have no difference in culture (besides lots of immigration). So when the government

How about the profit angle of vaccines on a subscription based schedule, complete with health passes? It's all about money. Not health.

And this is why companies want passionate people. They work more for the same salary. And because they have that passion and love their job, they don't ask for more money, because it jeopardises the job they love. This is why people in
