Did you know: You can both vote for Biden and protest those actions of his you don't agree with. You should, even.

If you just want to use it from your home computer / network you can run it locally, either installing it directly or in a container. You only need a server (or a way to connect to your home network) if you want to access it from elsewhere.

The period after MS stopped messing with it and before software stopped supporting it was the nicest time to use Windows 7, I expect it to be the same for Windows 10.

The problem might be that if they're everywhere there's no control group without them, so it's hard to say if an effect is actually caused by microplastics or not.

So, since Elon doesn't want it anymore, we could now reclaim the word "tweet" as a generic term for posting on social media, regardless of platform.

https://www.qnap.com/en/product/qda-a2mar seems to be the one in your image. From the users guide it seems it does everything you listed. The prices I've seen are about 100 € / $ though plus the two SSDs you need, personally I'd invest in external backup instead, that covers more data loss scenarios than this adapter.

Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram - a compressed block device in RAM that can be formatted as swap. There are various tools to set it up, maybe your distro already includes one of them. And htop has a meter for it, so you can see how effective the compression is (besides its own zramctl tool).

It would, so they chose a jurisdiction that's unrelated to any involved party but doesn't have those laws.

When your "thermonuclear lawsuit" is so flimsy that you have to find a bully-friendly court first...

It was time to switch to Invidious anyway.

Which will stop working once this is implemented, since it doesn't use a trusted browser to access YT. As will any kind of automated access. Search engine bots, archive crawlers, third party apps... anything websites don't like or know won't be able to access them anymore.

If you want to continue using any of them, you should probably uninstall any Chrome-based browser now: https://techreport.com/news/google-tries-to-defend-its-web-environment-integrity-as-critics-slam-it-as-dangerous/

"Through WEI, Google aims to help websites weed out bots by verifying that the visitors on their domains are actual users."

In other words, if this gets implemented it is likely that Youtube will block anything that doesn't look like a "real browser" (i.e. Chrome), so no videos in alternative apps anymore.

If you want to push back against the rising right-wing bigotry modding a decently sized subreddit might be one of the most effective places for regular people to do so. Arguably that power is not irrelevant in today's social media landscape.
