Ecosia already has more users than Brave Search according to the few sources I could find that even tried to estimate market share for search engines that niche. They're all less than a percent either way though, and nobody's gunning to beat the 13th most popular search engine, especially when number 1 has 80-90% of the market according to most estimates.
Some of them even have it on all of the doors. It's not very helpful if they hide it somewhere you'll never find it if you didn't memorize the entire owner's manual though.
Please don't put words in my mouth. I don't believe the US is invincible or will beat the whole rest of the world or anything like that. In the end fascists always fail, because they're not actually good at running countries.
Be real though. Just because the US isn't invincible doesn't mean the US military can't choose to eradicate any one location on Earth and no one can stop them. All that air and naval power means nowhere is safe from a strike. And that's before we start talking about giving a fully fascist government access to a cartoonishly oversized nuclear arsenal. When things go badly enough for them, there is a very real chance they hit the F you button and take everyone else down with them.
Also, let's be real again, not everyone is going to be on the other side. The US has a lot of allies, and it's not the only place where fascism is on the rise. The capacity for destruction is like nothing the world has ever seen, and I especially wouldn't want to be in a place like Mexico, given the proximity and all the fascist propaganda about Mexicans.
Either we're doomed and voting for the Democrats does no harm, or it's possible to pull ourselves out of this spiral and voting for the Democrats could buy us the time we need to do it. I can't see the future, I don't truly know which of us is right, and even if I'm right and it is possible that doesn't necessarily mean we will succeed, but as long as there is even the tiniest shred of uncertainty then it is worth giving ourselves every possible chance. The most powerful military in the world falling fully to fascism will go global, and it will end with a death toll unlike anything the world has ever seen. I'd rather not let that happen, if I have a choice. I may not. It may be too late, but even if I wanted to run, where would I be safe from the US? There is no such place.
You realize this is an argument in favor of voting for Democrats, right? Real progress doesn't happen in a single day in November, but that day in November can stop things from getting worse while real progress happens elsewhere.
Just because it's bullshit doesn't mean it's wrong. If you actually care maybe share memes about taking action instead of doomerism.
It was a big team that made that game. I know there were 6 full time writers for most of the development, and a pretty substantial art team as well. I don't expect them to be able to fully recapture that lightning in a bottle that was Disco Elysium, but there was some pretty substantial talent working there. It's certainly not a given, but it's pretty reasonable to hope they can do something great.
Hey, if you don't think distributions are doing anything, you can always use Linux From Scratch.
Seriously though, most of the work done by good distros is specifically so you don't notice things. They make a bajillion independent open source projects work together nicely. That's something I'm glad I don't have to do myself.
There are much less expensive ways of suing someone than just flying there and staying until the lawsuit is done. They're still not cheap, but that's a pretty absurd way of doing it.
Forced arbitration is also complete bullshit. The fact that corporations are starting to realize it's almost as bad for them as it is for us doesn't make it any less bullshit.
The big five is pretty much the only version of this that's actually sort of kind of almost a real thing. Nobody likes being told they have high neuroticism though, so it's not ever a fun fad meme thing.
Well, most dentists would recommend most toothpaste. They're a lot more concerned with making sure people are brushing regularly than they are with worrying about the brand of toothpaste they use.
That kinda means the exceptions are weird and highly dependent on the dentist and toothpaste brand involved. Maybe they think it's overpriced, maybe they think it's less effective, maybe they have ethical concerns about the parent corporation (looking at you, Crest), maybe they're super picky about what they recommend, maybe they've never heard of the brand before, maybe they just got lousy swag from the company rep and they're being petty. It could be all kinds of things, and the ads certainly won't tell you what they are.
Sony released a more realistic looking big budget Overwatch clone. It was fine, but nobody cared, because nobody wants a $40 live service Overwatch clone where all the characters have similar silhouettes. They spent 8 years making an okay game for nobody. If they'd done something different with the same basic characters and gunplay it could have maybe been good. They didn't though, so estimates suggested they sold about 25,000 copies worldwide before pulling it from their store and refunding everyone.
There's also the pesky detail that if minerals in the soil are taken up into plants, and plants are then eaten by animals, then animals need to go back into the soil we grow our crops in or the the soils get depleted of minerals. That's why most salt is iodized, because we've leached all the iodine out of our croplands and never put it back. There is only so much fossil fertilizer in the world. Eventually we are going to have to accept that we are part of nature instead of separate beings above it and doing things to it. Factory farming sucks and needs to end, but we can't "Just fucking leave animals in peace." we are not separate from them. They are us and we are them.
I mean, I prefer the real thing to childhood funtime genocide play, but I guess that is a pretty common modern use for the term cowboy.
Plus if we use the actual historical meaning I can point out that most cowboys were Mexican, which is always a good time.
Amazon is super evil, but it mostly comes from the way they treat their employees and sellers. The customer service is... okayish, mostly. They certainly have problems there as well, but it's not the real issue.
I don't care. They could put Jimmy Carter on the ballot and I'd vote for him, and honestly he'd probably be a better pick than anyone they actually would consider. This is going to be a stupid mess, just to most likely get the person who would have become president if something happened to Biden anyway at the top of the ticket. Just a bunch of panicked stupidity, because apparently they just figured out that the 82 year old is old this month.
Why? Now the Democrats are going to start tearing each other apart and in the end they'll pick someone even worse and now we're even more likely to end up with Trump winning. The only people who ever had a problem with Biden being old were the people who had already made up their minds.
