For one reason: because there are selfish people who only care about themselves and today, not others and not tomorrow.

Imagine being selfish, and just thinking that if the war ended now, your own quality of life will immediately improve, to hell with others whose homes are now Russian territory.

Fyi Germany has reintroduced coal plants because of the storage issues.

They also relied on Russian gas until Gazprom was ordered to cut over half of the gas flow because of Germany aiding Ukraine.

This comment is jaded af

And can be happily ignored. I’ve seen that thing just twice, once on my desktop and once on Android.

And it’s opt in, not opt out.

My point still stands: it’s a good drop in replacement for Google Chrome.

It’s not the best, but it’s better than staying with Google - a lot of people want a familiar hassle free replacement, and in that regard I don’t know what else to recommend

By having a browser that behaves 99% like the one they used for years before. Not everyone wants to spend time learning new tools and how said tools work, if a similar better tool exists, and is switched to, that’s alredy better than sticking with Ghrome

I’ve gotten downvote bombed for suggesting Brave as a Chrome replacement since they have Ublock filters built in. Sure you need to disable a few settings after a fresh install, but at least they let you. Idgaf about what their ceo did 15 yeard ago etc. – I’m not giving them money, I’m using a product which is familiar with what I used before, and has good ad blocking built in.

If I have none, clearly I have to mine more with my GPU.

A good point 😅

Being all out of fucks to give also implies they are finite and exchangeable.

Are fucks a form of cryptocurrency?!

Yeah, a few hundred thousand more than e.g. China. That’s if you don’t count the 11 milloin Uyghurs in what can only be called concentration camps.

Dude, even your first link, Racket News, written my Matt Taibbi.

Taibbi began as a freelance reporter working in the former Soviet Union.

Such US corporate leftist stuff indeed.

What is and isn’t a crime that lands you hard time or civic duty hasn’t really changed much at all during modern times, at least in Finland.

When they do, the consequences change with them.

For exmple having a repeat DUI person clean roadsides is a great way to rehabilitate.

Part of resocialising is that you get to meet your demons daily. I’m from Finland and our system has one of the highest success rates in the world.

You downvoting me makes it seem like you’d prefer to coddle someone that chose harm, and I find that apalling.

I don’t think anyone with a relatively good conscience thinks The US has it right. Luckily they are only 3% percent of the world.

Yeah fuck that, dude. 😑 Like I said, actual crimes.

If you run over children with your car and have to fix potholes for 8 yeara, that’s ok in my books. Having to do that because you think women should be able to vote IS different.

But that’s merely my opinion and fits my world view perfectly

And it’s not about making money, it’s about having consiquenses. The prisoner working has a guard (at least where I live) whose pay is more than what the convict makes.

That’s exactly what I said, thank you.

It’s s bit different when you do forced labour for actual crimes and not just because you had an opinion. Disagreeing with the government is not the same as rape and murder. These germans were sentenced to life for belieiving in modern rights.

Actual crimes, as in manslaughter, rape, stealing from another.

As a Finnish person I wholeheartedly agree with Linus.

You can see a tweet, but not list of her tweets, iirc.
