I'm not an economist or even especially well informed, but... Isn't war kind of... You know. Expensive?

Yeah I know it could pay off in the long term if you just swept up a country's worth of innocents, genocided them and grabbed their land (Hi Israel), but... Fuck up the war badly enough, and there's not going to BE a long term, just because the economy collapses. Right?

When the alternative is dealing with the absolute horseshit quantity of ads that YouTube desperately wants to shovel down my throat, I'll take Invidious any day of the week.

It may not be in perfect condition but it's still good enough to use!

Wait, I've seen quite a few articles claiming carbon capture was basically an oil industry myth. Are we sure we should be investing in that instead of some things which have more proven effectiveness like renewables?

Honestly, this is a really well made article. They've got a damn good point.

And like, it's not even a good gimmick. It's a serious labour issue because the primary intent behind a lot of AI has always been to just phase out workers.

I'm all for ending work through technological advancement and universal income, but this definitely wasn't going to get us that, so....

Well, why would I support something that mostly just threatens people's livelihoods and gives even more power to the 0.1%?

Not an American, but I realised it when I had to talk one of my online friends out of suicide because he almost worked himself to death (ten or more hour shifts six days a week for over a month) and couldn't afford rent.

Start killing oil executives? It won't fix anything but at least they'll suffer the consequences of their actions for once

Tbh that's the most characteristic thing about Trump. Saying things so outrageously stupid, so far outside common sense and so detached from reality that people end up thinking about them more than they should.

Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker

Also I'm about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn't a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?

Holy shit!!!

Invidious works absolutely great as an alternative way to access all the content uploaded to YouTube. No ads at all and a way better search function.

Yeah, they had that one coming. Stuff in there is just straight up insanely overpriced
