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.

Broken things can be fixed. You don't always have to give up and throw it away.

You're the one advocating for doing nothing.

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.

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.

Sure, yeah, but there are two major problems I see with that. It is a plan that even if it worked correctly would result in the most deadly war in human history if it happened in the US today, and also it wouldn't work. They'd loose.
