The reason I'm pretty much undecided about EVs is the rare metals in the batteries. The pollution by gathering and the inhumane treatment of the workers who extract these resources. I'm still hoping for better alternatives in the energy storage medium

Not sure if my AdBlock is responsible for not knowing about any of these ads even existing or EU.

https://youtube.com/shorts/_1GRjRH9tKA? https://youtu.be/9c36ujvK9bs? basically just the mechanical parts that are audible. still not like the movies but pretty close. In person i felt like it's actually less loud than in these vids depending on the gun.

Fact is that guns with silencers are still really loud with silencers, correct. Not like in the movies... with normal ammunition. In that case, the sonic boom is what you hear. But with subsonic ammunition and a slightly larger silencer it is really very quiet and can sound like in the video or in movies almost. It's hard to find on youtube because very few people want to shoot with such weak cartridges + with a silencer additionally, but if you're really interested you can find it. If I remember after work I can look for another demonstration and post it here. if you are interested.

It won't. Normies just see their franchise like Assasins or any Tom Clancy's and they buy. It does not matter to them what bullshit payment model it is. Look at Fifa games for example. Litearaly the same game year after year with the tiniest adjustments possible but they still break a sales record on a almost yearly basis.

That is on purpose. They want you to use the app.

What about chrome is useless? What makes chrome so useless that a normie would want it to change? In the end both let you browse the internet just fine. from work i use Firefox and at home i had chrome for years. I did not recognise any diffrenses except ram usage and it beeing a Google product. I changed to firefox at home a few months back so it is the same at work and at home. Can't say it feels any snapier or whatever. For a normie Privacy is no reason to change. They don't care. Ram, they probably don't even know what that is. You have to search for new extensions in the mozilla store if the same one you used does not exist there. That is the reason firefox will not dominate Chrome in my opinion. For a normie there is absolutely no reason to change and normies are the majority of people. Some anecdotal story. At work i installed for some colleges Adblockers because the said some of the ads where anoying and after i did in the following months one after another wanted me to deactivate it again because they could not figure out to visit some websites. As i offered them to show them how they could get around it they just denied. "that is to complicated for me." So yeah. Normies do not care and even worse adblock blockers work.

They already kinda do the resolution thing. Premium gets higher bitrate versions of the videos.

I don't get why Linux users don't understand that they are part of like a 1% bubble. 99% of people would not enjoy Linux. I'm a Pop Os user myself and seeing what I have to do sometimes to get simple everday things to work that work right out of the box in Windows and MacOs is rediculus. No normie would ever figure out what to do even when googling. Linux is an exclusive Pc enthusiast operating system. Even the beginner friendly distros are not "dump proof" enough for the regular person. There is no use in advocating it on every problem post from Windows or MacOs. You're doing no one a favor with it.
