Did you know: You can both vote for Biden and protest those actions of his you don’t agree with. You should, even.

A democracy with only two options is a dictatorship of the winner. Your political influence isn’t limited to voting though, voting is the first action in a democracy, not the last.

By not voting they support all of it.

The period after MS stopped messing with it and before software stopped supporting it was the nicest time to use Windows 7, I expect it to be the same for Windows 10.

The problem might be that if they’re everywhere there’s no control group without them, so it’s hard to say if an effect is actually caused by microplastics or not.

If you want nudge your government to the left you certainly won’t achieve it by letting the candidate from the right win.

So, since Elon doesn’t want it anymore, we could now reclaim the word “tweet” as a generic term for posting on social media, regardless of platform.

The study says “subluminal” in its abstract, the linked article hides that between lots of speculation and talk about fictional FTL warp drives, so I’d say the study is ok, the article is clickbait.

What’s the youth supposed to do? They’ve been mocked and cursed and attacked and arrested for participating in climate action, and the people in charge are continuing on their slow and unsteady curse. We’ve had many decades of warnings with increasing urgency and nobody cared enough, what’s the point of focusing on the youth when they’re the least responsible for the state of the world?

What would you need an addon for? If you enable the clipboard monitor, jdownloader automatically adds all downloads it finds from any link you copy.

Edit: If you don’t like the clipboard monitoring you can also use the Open With addon to explicitly add links.

https://www.qnap.com/en/product/qda-a2mar seems to be the one in your image. From the users guide it seems it does everything you listed. The prices I’ve seen are about 100 € / $ though plus the two SSDs you need, personally I’d invest in external backup instead, that covers more data loss scenarios than this adapter.

Weren’t there at least rumors during the protests that reddit is actively looking for engagement posters? Ever since then discussions seem partly artificial (or maybe it just coincides with the rise of AI garbage).

Yeah, I’d like to see emissions attributed to the places where products end up, not where they’re produced.

Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram - a compressed block device in RAM that can be formatted as swap. There are various tools to set it up, maybe your distro already includes one of them. And htop has a meter for it, so you can see how effective the compression is (besides its own zramctl tool).

100%. If it seems too innocent or self-aware it’s Flanders.

Which applies to far more than just car dealerships, a lot of “economy” is just people installing themselves as middlemen, siphoning off money from others’ work and using it to protect their position.

repairs are not a matter of subsidies. Only new infrastructure is supported.

That’s a big problem. If you incentivize a company to not maintain the infrastructure because you will pay for it once it’s completely broken it will be completely broken.

If no person does anything nothing changes.

Of course your own choices in isolation don’t change much. But that’s like saying voting doesn’t do anything because a single vote doesn’t matter. We all can make choices that add up through all of society.

Just the boring one: That all the exciting conspiracies (and other stuff like “culture wars”) are there to distract from the banal reality of most people and the world being exploited by a few selfish assholes.
