Firefox forks are less vulnerable purely due to the fact that the main browser engine isnt being developed by a self interested advertising company. (See the recent manifest V3 and discontinuation of V2 shitshow for a example of googles stranglehold causing problems)

& when it comes to browser engines I’ll set politics aside even if someone has views in very poor taste. The project overall is FOSS and thusly is being developed by hundreds of contributors, I’ve contributed a few bits and pieces for it even.

Having an additional standalone browser engine serves as insurance against Mozilla doing a stupid and a bulwark against Google dominance.

Nah, Firefox. Anything based on the blink engine is vulnerable to upstream fuckiness.

Ladybird is also getting there.

Honestly when this bubble pops it might genuinely send the US economy into a great depression style tailspin IMO & without any sort of new deal type programme it’ll likely crash. Capitalism do be eating itself.

Hurl

Yeah Ik, its why I need to go and pay in the 5 of them I have lying around lol, the exchanges wont take them here. If nothing else I can probs sell them to collectors.

Really annoying when companies do that, unfortunately here they’re allowed to as legal tender is basically meaningless.

Also just reminded me I have a few 1000kr notes I really need to pay into a bank next time im over there.

God I love dankort, amazing system. Really wished more people in DK made use of it. Britain selling their own card system out to MasterCard was a actual crime against the population. Apparently cash usage in DK has crashed since I was last there 5 years ago though : (.

Same thing for one of my grandparents.

ffs, authoritarian overreaching technologically illiterate BS. This also won’t work if you’re determined, make sure you have a paid up VPS!

Those people are based Tbf, mfs are making their own drivers and everything.

Once again, SMRs. Quite cheap, easy to deploy and due to their modular design wont take a decade.

Nuclear has also advanced significantly in safety in that time, along with finding cheaper sources for the fuel and fuel recycling.

On top of that bleeding edge thorium reactors literally cannot have a run away reaction as they are designed with the ability to drain the fuel into a safety tank should a temperature threshhold be exceeded.

Reactors are also expensive these days due to constantly using bespoke one off designs, if you production line a reactor like the Souuth Koreans and French have done and what SMRs will also be able to do the initial capital cost looks far less horrifying.

And no I havent really noticed Tories pushing that narrative, in America its all about oil and outside of America they’re generally far more open to a mixture of power sources.

Except battery storage costs a fortune and isnt ideal for cold climate regions.

Plus the excessively long timespans & project costs of nuclear should wind up being curbed by things like small modular reactors and boilerplate pre certified designs.

And trying to make nuclear projects a conservative bait and switch is one hell of a reach.

You need stable base load which solar and wind cannot provide.

I think we’re going to get a strange three tiered internet, one where you have the mainstream social media platforms etc, one that is just AI SEO bot hell and one that is buried and only really used by enthusiasts. (For example, IRC isnt dead yet not by a long shot but its entirely technical people now using it).

This won’t work at all, children will begin finding even more shady corners of the internet to get around blocks & I doubt any enforcement action will actually impact the big players, this is just killing off small British websites. Foreign websites that ofcom has already tried going after have pretty much told them to piss off. Also a massive data breach waiting to happen.

Yes. I am not continuing it further as we’ll never agree.

Agree to disagree.

Im not going to debate this, it has been overused in the last decade leading to people rolling their eyes somewhat when its used.

Its extremely disturbing, im very hesitant to use the word fascism (as it has been massively over used muting its true meaning) but what we are now seeing is just that. I pray Americans can find a way to stop this insanity.

Debatable, there was a influx of new users around that time with reprehensible views. I used 4Chan as it was happening.
