   Ok, but in 24 months that's the equivalent of downloading 100 variations of MSDOS. Torrents and vpn exist. I think this is more of a problem for corporations.

   Filtering based on hardware is super helpful. Everyone should do this. There are millions of models, and most of them require a server room to load and run.

   I would like to see climate research funded, but it needs to be de-politicized and stop being used to push fear propaganda and sinister policies. They used it to flat out destroy the economies in much of Europe, while somehow China and Indi

   Politics on this site is as astroturfed/censored as reddit, and the moderators are interchangeable. It's good for tech news.

   Fun fact: there are significantly more heat deaths in Europe than car fatalities. Interesting priorities...

   Then, therefore, this article is making broad, bold claims without accessible proof.

   I saw that and described the page you linked. The actual study is gate kept behind a paywall or "institutional access". "Get full text access - Log in, subscribe or purchase for full access."

    The link in the article does not show the study, just a list of references, a summary and the researchers who published it. How many of the researchers who published this study have conflicts of interest? Where is the full study for review?

    Most of the old internet could be restored with the right search engine and browser. Index all of the invasive BS to page 100 or the results, and put the interesting/relevant things up front. People might pay for it. You could do some

    I agree. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the US balkanizes. That might not be a bad thing if it can happen peacefully.

    The best browsers that do not leave fingerprints do so by making your fingerprint look like every other fingerprint. Cydec used to have a plugin that actually worked for randomizing everything, but support ended. Maintenance for that must h

    You put your passwords in Google Sheets? The data there is not encrypted at rest. Google has 191k employees in countries like China, India, and Pakistan who could potentially access your records. Make sure you use something that encrypts yo

    After the lies and misinformation we now know we were fed during the COVID era, you would have to be insane to blindly trust this group again, especially the hacker news astroturf squad that's downvoting my comments. Hard data studies

    Thanks. 10 our of 13 of the researchers work for Moderna or another pharma company. That "study" might as well be a marketing brochure.

    Flu vaccines aren't immunizing vaccines. They protect against specific strains, and half the time they immunize against a strain that doesn't become widespread and do very little or nothing to protect you. They have side effects w

    Avoiding the news and consuming it on your own terms infrequently is a fantastic way to solve this problem. Step 1: cut your cable and use your television as a computer monitor only. Source: myself.

    Energy is not cheaper on earth. Solar in space gets 24/7 power at a 30%+ rate vs the surface. Radiative cooling is passive and cheaper because there are no HVACs or chillers and high temperature chips reduce the need. The ISS does this

    That's not clear from the article. Even if that's the case, it still gives away the studio's IP the moment they discontinue the game. Counter strike wouldn't exist if these "freedoms" were in effect when half-l

    It’s not yet clear whether consciousness can be fully explained in physical terms. There is strong evidence linking it to brain activity, but we don’t have a complete theory of how subjective experience arises. It’s possible our current fra

    It's an accurate statement, not propaganda. When the borders were open people smuggled in livestock. With border agents overwhelmed by human traffic, agricultural inspections plummeted. In 2022, CBP admitted inspecting less than 1% of
