Yeah using tor broswer is generally slow - adjust expectation and see it as a necessary tradeoff for some privacy and it is fine.

Further than that, browsing the ‘dark web’ has mainly been a boring/frustrating experience, but going forward, between tech oligarch-surveillance-capitalists co-option of the web on one side, and increasingly authoritarian Western governments on the other, the dark web might be the only place to get an online experience something like I was told the internet was going to be a few decades ago.

Just stop buying their stuff in the first place and move on. Linux desktops look nice enough these days.

Sorry America voted for this twice. You do not get to disown this after the fact.

Fourier made similar discoveries a few decades before - at least in terms of co2’s climate warming potential.

But yeah, women have been written out of the history of scientific discovery so Eunice Foote should be recognised. Joseph Tyndall also made similar discoveries at the same time. People do independently arrive at the same conclusions.

And this post is an example of a poster who voted for the party complicit in creating the current situation expressing their feeling of moral superiority.

Voting democrat is voting for a longer fuse. Problem is the longer the fuse the bigger the bomb. Or you do what you actually need to do to fix this situation. Do what you should have done decades ago which is not vote democrat.

No.

Implicit in the act of voting is the giving of consent. The fact that you have not received the education to understand this simple fact is indicative of how democracy has failed. It requires an educated populace.

You are giving consent when you vote. You are saying this choice is fine.

Maybe America is at a point where voting is not the solution. How are things now compared to when the American revolution happened?

Edit - people downvote this but ‘voting for the lesser of two evils’ is. What. Has. Got. You. Here.

Where was this work? The prison kitchen or something?

Police are not the brightest in any society.

So I guess somebody needs to tell them that they need to focus their efforts a little better if their current plan is ‘anyone with a Google Pixel is a drug dealer’.

Can I suggest they start with the people with drugs, rather than the people with the – not uncommon - google phones in their search for drug dealers?

Oh look, it’s vice.com, so presumably these ‘scientists’ are from the University of Joe Rogan or U of Y(outube) or something.

As I said. This individual simply cannot tolerate a different reading of the pro-corporate, anti-diversity EU so they immediately resort to vulgar insult.

Believe it or not it suits me personally, on the most cynical level - free movement etc - to be in the EU. It just happens that I grew up with people who have been hammered by EU membership, and who voted heavily against it. I abstained because I won’t vote against the interests of the people I grew up with.

What I said about reform is absolutely on the cards anyway, forcing a rejoining of the EU on people who voted against it greatly hastens their rise. This is something I don’t want to see. EU citizens don’t seem able to bend, and when you don’t bend you break.

Anyway. Block it is.

There is literally zero chance of the British accepting the Euro. It has disaster baked into it.

The Maastricht treaty defined that you lose the right to 1. run budsget deficits in periods of economic contraction. 2. Set interest rates. 3. Devalu your currency when necessary.

Greece got to borrow at rates Germany enjoy - for a while. Germany gets a hugely devalued currency which actually allows it to be a great exporter (well that and the US post WW2 investment).

This inequality in peripheral countries absolutely drives the rise of the far right.

Other than that |the British people don’t want to be in the EU. Being forced into it will put Reform UK into power. They are as Russia aligned as Trump.

Edit - I know most poeople will not be able to cope with this reading of the EU and will not change their mind in any way. When presented with a fact that does not match the reality one has (co-)constructed one has to reject the fact, because one cannot reject reality. So I am happy to agree to disagree, I won’t reply further in this thread, I will just block. And you can downvote this, but you can’t downvote reality away. If only you could, eh!?

The UK political classes ignoring the brexit vote, and rejoining the EU gets Reform UK into power. Who will leave the EU, and are as aligned with Russia as Trump is.

The likes of the bbc framed the brexit debate as a choice between ‘liberalism’ and something xenophobic, which is not why the vast majority of people wanted out of the EU, and omitted the stories of the majority who had very good reason to be unhappy with the EU.

The EU is pro corporatism, anti diversity (why have one set of rules for all of Europe, written by corporate lobbyists in Brussels? What is right for the majority of UK citizens, is not right for the Irish, What is right for Germans is not right for Greeks. etc etc etc. Europe has a wonderfully diverse culture, one set of homogenised rules written by corporate lobbbyists is not right and never will be. Brexit is about the right to self-determinism and autonomy.

The EU was an American idea. They wanted a bulwark against the Soviet Union in Europe. We are in a very different world now.

If the EU wants a Russia aligned nuclear power on their Western side within a decade they push for the UK to rejoin. Th EU ere disgusting in their dealing with the UK post brexit. To expect or demand further concession shows just how hopelessly mislead EU citizens are.

Electricity.

Not fucking power.

Lemmy is as bad for misinformation as anywhere else. The impulses that drive people to re-imagine reality in an image that suits them is not confined to right-wingers.

Presumably he had to give 35 presents too.

Clearly this premise, upon which your further exchanges are based, is complete bullshit.

You are a troll, presumably one for whom any response is a win. It gives you a little dopamine hit.

What a pathetic place to get to. There are a million ways to get a dopamine hit less pathetic than this, including all of the major addictive drugs.

I’ll build my own cooling and temperature monitoring system

I bunged mine in the fridge, just drill a hole out of the side for the cables then use rubber sealant.
