He/Him… just in case.
I’m from Earth, ya know, that thing that keeps getting effed because of greed and unaccountability… I like the middle, not the radical left or right, some things may be tough and make sense, others are up to individuals. Be free, let others be.

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

Heat-pumps are not a miracle if your house is poorly insulated.

- 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.

- 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.
6h0st_in_the_machin3@kbin.socialto News@kbin.social•California governor vetoes bill that would have set a $35 cap for insulin6·2 years ago“With CalRx, we are getting at the underlying cost, which is the true sustainable solution to high-cost pharmaceuticals,” Newsom wrote in a message explaining why he vetoed the bill on Saturday. “With co-pay caps however, the long-term costs are still passed down to consumers through higher premiums from health plans.”
Makes sense, when you block a corporation by increasing taxes, they will always pass the “new” cost to the consumers, in this case the “competition” will provide true lower costs…

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.

- 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…

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.
