Also, AC could probably prevent all heat-related death. But using AC in all buildings on earth, all the time, is not a viable option.

It’s hard to compare with Finland and Sweden. They don’t face the same combinaison of climate and high-speed wind events which LA is suffering from.
Also, we affect the climate. So we can and should reduce our impact on climate AND do better fire prevention.
Fire prevention alone isn’t going to avoid large scale fires if the climate keep worsening like that.

Yes, but many YouTube channels don’t have a RSS podcast equivalent. YouTube is somewhat of a walled garden, like Spotify is.

Yay, finally.
I’m curious as to why those don’t get sanctionned faster.
I don’t know. My ISP doesn’t know. And I won’t bother interacting with Google’s non-existing support.
My solution is moving away from YouTube whenever possible, for instance subscripting to podcast instead when a creator has a podcast with the same content.
YouTube has blocked a bunch of IP ranges, including residential ones, forcing people to use an account to watch videos. So self-hosting isn’t an option for everyone.

Yes, they’re mostly redundant. Happy uBlock Origin users should probably keep using just uBlock. People who don’t use uBlock to avoid breaking websites, or just want to block trackers, should use Privacy Badger.
I strongly recommended installing EFF’s Privacy Badger on your and your relatives browsers.
This stops many trackers, and causes less side effects and less breakages than most filters (unlock et all).
A planned lecture at China’s Nankai University was abruptly cancelled in January, reportedly due to “scheduling conflicts.”

This alone doen’t make you a Nazi, but that’s still a terrible course of action.
A wise man once said…
Calling out Musk and his actions, and avoiding the company that he owns and control, are the least one can do given all the trouble he’s causing, or trying to cause.
Several companies sell electric vehicles, and unlike Tesla, most aren’t owned by a Nazi (sympathiser).
