Mullvad is very likely one of the few good ones. I’d suggest reevaluating it.

Oh yeah definitely

The 8a has a modern curved design, still many years left of updates, is plenty fast, and has a nice screen and keyboard, all while being pretty cheap new or used

What is this about?

Probably various VPNs on the market

I don’t keep up with the drama. I use Kagi and disabled the AI. Simple as that. Does DDG make it easy to disable?

I believe climate change is a politicized topic and not focused on the real reasons that our climate is changing. This is the standard method politicians use to get people to fear something and side with a certain political party. Politics should be removed from climate change because it’s not political, It’s historical/science based. Looking at historical data shows that well before humanity started polluting the air that the climate had huge fluctuations due to other factors. These other factors are what we need to do more research into and that some people have pretty good theories on what the factors could have been

You misread or misinterpreted what I said. The main climate change talks are trying to say humanity is what’s primarily causing climate change. This is false as per the historical data in reference to the Holocene period. I also stated that we shouldn’t discount trying our best to take care of our planet. Since humanity is not the primary cause of climate change we should be focused on larger issues and not politicize this stuff

What type might I be? I didn’t deny human induced climate problems, just that they are sensationalized. Science is constantly evolving and relatively recent evidence shows what I originally stated with the temperature fluctuations of the Holocene.

Totally misconstruing what I said

If you look at temperature data for the past 15,000yrs or so you’d see that we are in the Holocene with a great temperature for humans to survive. The temperature for the duration of the Holocene period fluctuates a little which is the climate change we’re seeing. The scale is so small though that the climate change we’re seeing isn’t meaningful to any greater change and infact we’re on a downward trend within the fluctuation.

Now all that is not to say that we shouldn’t take measures to not destroy our environment, because we should care about our planet. There are so many more important and more immediate things to be worrying about than this grand idea of climate change, such as the magnetic pole shift

It’ll certainly cause more people to get malware by normalizing people to scan QR codes on a whim without thinking

I tell myself that nothing will get done or be achieved if I don’t start

Lots of California residents who believed lock downs during COVID were necessary also seem to not care that he, among other politicians gathered at fancy restaurants at the same time

FYI, on many pumps if you hit a button (I’ve found typically bottom right) it’ll mute the ad

Get a double din head unit with Garmin GPS. Do all your podcasts, books, music, etc via an SD card and swap all the maps every so often with OpenStreetMaps for free

I’ll hear podcasters mention other podcasts or I’ll look up opinion threads on podcasts for specific genres.

• Dark Horse (Use logic and reasoning to talk about politics and also talk about evolutionary biology)
• Matt Beall (similar to Joe Rogan but more often has more interesting guests)
• Firewalls Don’t Stop Dragons (bi-weekly tech news and bi-weekly tech people interviews, tends to focus on privacy)
• Informed with Aaron Siri (Lawyer who has focused his career on holding Big Pharma accountable for bad vaccines now interviewing people about their experiences on the subject)

I use LibreElec which is a Linux distro of sorts. It has CEC that works for me

Install Kodi and pirate shows from those services.
