Correction, Europe must hurry to develop itself and don’t rely on US for anything, US is lost. It’s just crony capitalism and dumb people these days.

This, I’ve just installed it this week and I think it’s better than Google (though I’m suspicious of the “free” service.

Let’s be clear in one thing:

• There’s no free lunches.

That’s it. Everything in the Universe, including you, has a “price” on energy. Now outside of all crony-capitalism craziness, we should all consider having a open, distributed, fair price Internet and it’s resources.

I’m calling Louis.

Portuguese here:

• There was compulsory male military service, that would be the only place where you could “handle” military grade hardware, aka assault rifles.
• Currently IIRC, guns are accessible if: you’re a military or law enforcement agent, a hunter (rifle or shotgun) or go through a process for a fire arm license due to professional or business reasons (e.g. a goldsmith) for self-defense.
  As well hand guns are limited to “non-military” calibers… for instance 9mm is for government agents solely.

Of course there’s black market and use by shady actors…

As for people’s personal relationship with guns, most people doesn’t care to have one as there’s not much violent crime to justify said behavior.

They just buy good ideas to monetize the shit out of them without giving users new features, and when the revneu stream dies, they kill the app and but the “next best thing”.

Essentially, Google is killing creativity, expansion, usability and profitability for small companies just for the “ad revenue”.

I’m de-googling as fast as I can.

It’s a duality…

• In Europe, you can get a hefty fine if you are a public figure and slander someone else without evidence, see the two examples below on the same politician, a MEP (former):

So it’s not like in US where the “first amendment” allows you to derail everyone and everything without consequences…

At the same time, EU wants to fight criminality, e.g. drug cartels, money laundering, terrorism, human trafficking, etc… by removing encryption that makes investigation “more” difficult…

And if you think about it, most people use encryption and other security measures not because they are criminals, but because they are essentially “owned and spied” by big tech…

As some douchbag once said, the government doesn’t care which porn sites you visit or with who you go to bed with…

Every now and then just throw a “miau”, in the conversation… 🤪

📢START BY YOURSELF!!!

And may be related to Twitter, Musk may need to sell a LOT of Tesla stock to cover his failure in the platform, and the stock might come down or be even claimed by Musk’s co-investors on Shitter…

The most reliable for them, I’m trying to move away from Google as fast as I can:

• Vivaldi browser,
• DuckDuckGo / Bing
• Next will be LineageOS…
