Are the problem with the people who watch the video, or the people who create, or host the videos?

By browsers do you mean search engines in the browsers? I use DDG for search. Firefox is king, browsers wise.

Well, I don't really want to install Facebook spyware on my phone. Signal was made by the guy that designed the encryption used on top apps (if they haven't circumvented that to spy on you yet).

You nailled it in the last paragraph. It is important to not get angry at customers. It isn't their obligation to pay you a living wage. Secondly, the company chooses how much the meals are and indirectly how much they rent their tables per hour. If it isn't viable, they should increase prices.

Customers may be struggling. Could be their first meal out in months. The company invited them in with these cheap prices.

Tipping culture is like "hey, come in, eat cheap. Oh, and please pay our staff on the way out." You are an employer, not a table rental company.

It was actually the BBC that documents this, and those expansions. Foreign policy wise, it's about as imperial as it comes. It's pro-Israel, pro-Ukraine, pro-NATO.

Even if the point you raise is technically correct, knowing interests in that area are uncomfortable about that and pushing through that, could be construed as a little antagonistic. The west had nuclear non-proliferation treaties in this regards post the cold war to remove tensions. This was one of those policies aimed at de-escalation. Even if it's technically legal, choosing actions that will piss off countries you're trying to work through de-escalations with either stupid or antagonistic.

I think the Russian propaganda line is that NATO started this, so Russia are justified. To make it clear, Russia aren't justified to invade a country and commit atrocities, but even then, in any situation, if you cannot look back at your own actions, and think is there something we could have done differently, you're doomed to repeat the same mistakes. There is often this weird view that your side can do no wrong. The reality is, both can, and there can be multiple assholes countries around the table, even if one is a far bigger asshole country.

It's ok, you're not on reddit now.

I use DDG. I read here that start page had been taken over by an advertising company, and Brave always felt dodgy from day 1, weird crypto stuff ~~and I think the owners previous company may have sold users data~~.

I think DDG is the best we have right now.

One that seems to look up to someone who has shown how not to run a social media company. It's quite pathetic really.

Authoritarianism is on the rise atm.

I think I saw after initial anger, they were saying things were calming down. Maybe they don't want to let it. Maybe they want to expand state operations.

I try to avoid everything with an extra battery on environmental grounds. Wires for headphone, keyboard and mouse.

I absolutely don't care what the everyday jack says. Most have been conditioned by their brands. Apple customers will not just accept their decisions, but passionately advocate for them. Samsung will copy Apple and their users will justify it based on that.

This transition was supply led, not demand led.

Headphone jack getting less popular? I'm pretty sure companies don't want to include it so removed it from the models and the consumers had to buy that. Consumers aren't choosing not to have them, they're choosing phones that don't have them because Apple and other big companies aren't giving them a choice.

I have TV, but I don't use it. I mostly use computers for games, and coding...

Gaming is more fun than programmes for me as I like my usage to be interactive rather than passively consuming.
