Ecosia being extremely based

They mention it in the article, but I think its purely for donations, so you can subscribe to donate on a monthly basis

Ok sure, what do you want them to do instead then? 80% of their income is reliant on a tech giant’s grace and is seemingly more and more likely to be cutoff soon. They need to survive somehow, and every monetised service they tried flopped thusfar.

The problem is that browsers aren’t profitable. Mozilla need a revenue source other than donations, and that’s why they’re trying to make another product that’ll stick. They need to make money somehow. If Google stops paying them because of the antitrust lawsuit, Mozilla will probably disappear in a few months.

If they’re following the standard, which they often do but sometimes don’t, white indicates 2.0 and blue indicates 3.0+. I think there are more but I don’t remember the other colours.

I don’t know much apart from the basics of YAML, what makes it complicated for computers to parse?

For me this is fighting over semantics. It doesn’t really matter if it’s legally piracy or not since nobody is gonna go after you for it either way. It’s about whether what you’re doing is moral or the intended way. You can use adblocker, but then you’re just freeloading. Fact of the matter is that nothing is free and everything needs compensation when at scale. You can rightfully claim that YouTube shoves too many ads and that it’s a monopoly so it abuses it’s position, but at the end of the day you’re using the service without compensating for it, so you’re stealing at least something.

Why does this have but plug support lmao.

Why do you think so? I feel like they’re some of the most useful reviews I come across.

There’s this very nice template you can use to quickly make a more detailed review without having to write it all yourself. You can always just google “Steam review template” to find it.

I mean that’s just regular windows shenanigans. It often says it’s waiting on some apps forever, and when you click cancel it tells you it’s actually updating and that’s why it’s not shutting down.

This is a genuine economics question, but would these kinds of things ever even work? In the sense that, billionaires hold a lot of money, yes, but they never use a vast majority of it. That effectively means that money doesn’t exist. Just pumping money into something doesn’t create people and resources out of which you can create products.

If we were to redistribute wealth equally, how much would that actually help people (other than land and housing since that would definitely help enormously)? Sure some of the production capacity would stop going to producing some of the extremely expensive and resource intensive products such as yachts and the like, but it’s not like rich people are buying 100s of ACs just for themselves. Shifting all of that production capacity to other goods I don’t feel like is going to lead to that many more consumer products for regular people.

My point (and my actual question/thought) is that it would definitely help a lot of people a lot, but I feel like by how much is overstated, and I feel like the percentage of wealth that the 1% holds doesn’t really matter as much as how the wealth in the rest of society is distributed (i.e. if the 1% were twice as rich but the other 99% had their wealth equally distributed, then that would almost be the same as if all of society had its wealth distributed equally)

Edit: Just to clarify, I’m not focusing on the part about whether it’s okay or moral for there to be people that are so much richer, I’m just talking about the practical consequences.

Well one reason is that this is basically exactly the thing current AI is perfect for - detecting patterns.

This would probably have much better audio quality.

I’ve been using the same two synthetic fabric bags for literally 6 years and still haven’t changed them. I sewed up the edges 3 or 4 times to reinforce them, but they’re still kicking and are definitely gonna be around for at least another year. Plus they’re small enough to carry around all the time so I literally haven’t used a store bag in 6 years.

Think you mean dark patterns.

That’s almost certainly just a copypasta

No it actually wasn’t. Idk if you used basically any search engine nowadays but SEO bullshit has destroyed useful results for like 90% of searches.

I think you misread the title.

No, this is real, Mr YouTube will personally come over and shoot you in the face if you don’t renew your YouTube premium subscription.
