So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?

1. Always use uBlock Origin in a Firefox-based browser (e.g., LibreWolf, Zen).
2. Never click on links in communication of any kind that you didn’t expect or are too good to be true.
3. Never reinstall Windows.

Anything that touches greed-incentivizing cr*ptocurrencies turns to shit. Use Matrix, XMPP, or Tox instead.

No. Deleted my WhatsApp account though.

Ah, well, good thing your feeling is more important than any potential source of actual data.

That’s not at all what it says; sarcasm is uncalled for.

I feel like ⅒ is a gross overestimation and regular search engines should consume at least 100 times less than GPTs.

“Ecofeminists examine the effect of gender categories in order to demonstrate the ways in which social norms exert unjust dominance over women and nature. The philosophy also contends that those norms lead to an incomplete view of the world, and its practitioners advocate an alternative worldview that values the earth as sacred, recognizes humanity’s dependency on the natural world, and embraces all life as valuable.” —https://www.britannica.com/topic/ecofeminism

Yes. Because it goes hand in hand with Cynicism, my main guiding philosophy:

Cynic: “an adherent of an ancient Greek school of philosophers who held the view that virtue is the only good and that its essence lies in self-control and independence” —Merriam-Webster

Also doesn’t deserve Twitter, now known as a letter owned by a Gestapo enthusiast.

Either:

1. A smarter and wiser population able to discern and care enough that they’re being cucked by Microsoft, overcoming the inertia to install Linux.
2. Linux invents a game/feature that is so goddamn appealing that everyone wants in on the action.
3. Preinstallation.

This “magic” requires a certain dose of privilege to be enjoyed. Fairly certain nearly everyone has the cognitive potential to do so, but unless we tax the rich, not the potential privilege.

Richard Feynman: The Beauty of the Flower.

Chuckled loudly, but couldn’t resist checking its veracity:

Why are fossilized hairs so rare?
“[…] The rarity might be explained by feathers and hair containing different types of the protein keratin, which may impact the likelihood of fossilization. However, the study notes that the lack of hair samples could have nothing to do with fossilization, and be explained by the collecting behavior of paleontologists, with a single feather usually being much easier to identify than a single hair.

What the hell happened to the ant? My god I dislike cliffhangers.

“Ambition is overrated. Whether a janitor or surgeon, being virtuous is what matters [1]. Avoid contempt and envy because we each have our part to play [2], powerless to choose our upbringing. Often there’s more than meets the eye so hold off on passing judgement. Everything is borrowed [3], so avoid craving credit too. The meaning of life is sharing (and) laughter [4], helping each other through peaks and throughs. Bref, GLHF.

Yes.

TL;DR: It’s worth whatever a greater fool is willing to pay for it.

Bitcoin is a cult, therefore it’s invaluable to the cult members. In reality they’re all multi-level marketing pyramid schemes which is what the stock market has degenerated into as well. The former just has more overtly obnoxious shady unethical proponents. It’s easier to succumb to greed, selfishness, and seclude oneself from the rest of society by simply buying something that confirms one’s fallacy riddled beliefs than it is to question oneself and actively improving society with all of Earths inhabitants, ecosystems, and posterity in mind. Technologically humankind has made great strides, but mentally the majority still thinks like cavemen.

Changed my mind. Thanks.

You be the judge and reviewer ;)
I recognize it by name but I haven’t tested it or anything.

PS My list wasn’t meant to be exhaustive, sorry for the wrong impression. I’m sure there are great other Android browsers.
