I have been using fennec from f-droid but will definitely try iceraven. Thank you again for the suggestion!

Thank you to start. I will look at the alternatives to those for linux/lubuntu.

I dislike the idea that we have to make the world feel safer to everybody. The reason is that feelings are subjective and some people would feel safer in a world that is actually more dangerous (look at all the people who reflect positively about the safety of previous decades).

Transmission owners own transmission. Transmission operators operate transmission. Reliability coorfinators have a wide overview and exist to help keep the grid together.

thanks.

Used Pixels go for less than $100 and can run lineageos.

Going to look at bromite and chromium. Have used kiwi in the past.

But transmission isn't centralized, and can't be centralized. Because its purpose is to transmit power from power generators (both centralized and decentralized) to (located elsewhere) loads.

I assumed the OP meant generation because the other way around doesn't make sense.

I may also be thinking about the physical world with the OP thinking about ownership, but that makes even less sense. Transmission and generation should be paid for by the end users. Preferably in whatever way reduces their costs without making them a burden on other participants.

Maybe the statement is talking about centralized ownership for the purposes of economies of scale. Even that can be broken down to cooperative ownership as much of the less urban areas of the United States already are.

So distributed generation shouldn't happen? As far as I know distributed generation is happening and it is likely to increase as time goes on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_generation In general non-renewables should be centralized due to economies and efficiencies of scale but renewables almost have to be distributed due to the amount of space they take and localized weather effects.

My google and duckduckgo search results are also dominated by porn sites.

I think NFTs could be a great way to fund arts or charity. Especially if they can smart contract money to their cause with each transfer.

I personally don't know how NFTs could really work as an investment mechanism because they aren't a currency and their ties to artwork are about the same as reddit posts with the same URLs. If there isn't an agreement under law giving people exclusive rigbts or monies from their NFTs then they are even more speculative than physical art.

Not saying they couldn't work, just that I don't comprehend the mechanism keeping people buying them at higher and higher prices.

Opinion: same thing should apply to other R&D too. You make a drug or vaccine using government money then you are limited to cost+ (meaning a small profit). Shortly after recouping your investment and a small profit the medicine becomes a generic and you have to compete on price for sales.

Why should I use brave browser vs firefox on linux or fennec/duckduckgo browsers on android?

Wow. I am surprised you are using a 32 bit machine. How old is it? I think I bought my first 64 bit machine in 2008. It is awesome that you can keep hardware for so long.

adaway to block ads. insular to seperate/randomly delete work profiles. hacker's keyboard for keyboards. materialistic for hacker's news. infinity for reddit. frost for facebook.

Only use rates that favor the store in either direction. .90/btc or less for purchases $60000/btc or more for returns.

And if you try to leave with unbagged items, the off duty police officer who moonlights as security here will arrest you.

4gb of ram? No. suitcase laptop from the 1990s but remanufactured so it doesn't have collector's value.

Even better if you accept a hyperinflated currency and use someone who keeps losing count and starting over at the register.

What don't I sell?

My store is 100 stories tall, 25 stories deep, and has the footprint of a major airport. Full of stuff from everywhere and for everyone.

The inventory is all on tracks and shifts around based on your interests/spying on your phone/social media/video and audio surveillance.

You need milk? Go to aisle 237569b on floor 36. By the time you get there, the milk would have moved to aisle 27a on floor 22. The escalators work on reverse consensus- only go the direction the store occupants least want to go. There are no elevators or regular stairs.

If you have any allergies, those items will follow you with more and more agressive advertising.

There are 4 entrences and nobody can exit the way they came in.

The parking lot is the size of Montana and you have to take a train to the roof and go down escalators on the outside of the building to enter at ground level.

United States has the same problem. our increased unemployment benefits and stimulus checks are not enough for people to survive on indefinitely.

I use AdAway on android (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.adaway) and ublock origin on firefox/chromium. They work well enough for me. There are also doh servers that block ads and you can manually set them.

Could you please provide some statistics about violence? I don't know where you get the idea that the world ia so very violent- maybe you live somewhere more violent than I do though. https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-releases-2019-crime-statistics

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/fbi-report-crime-shows-decline-violent-crime-rate-third-consecutive-year

Has there been a huge spike in violence that hasn't shown in statistics yet?

I know that crimes get attention and the news is full of that, but it seems that the world is safer now than it was in the 1990s (at least the United States).

Pretty sure there should be a /s there.

While there are more known cis male rapists than known rapists with other sexual preference, a supermajority of cis men are not rapist.

Further, being attracted to women that aren't attracted to you is not a rape impulse, just an unfortunate side effect of being a male mammal with no major predators.
