It’s not all good news, and unfortunately this bill expands the censorship regime to web browsers and websites too.

Burning wood is theoretically carbon neutral as long as the trees are replaced or already dead

edit: or if you’re asking why make fire when it’s hot, the answer is that some places, sometimes, are cold

The second one is the opposite of transphobic

Have you ever heard the expression, “missing the forest for the trees”?

The justification is on the linked page

By using this software, you affirm that you are stateless and live on a boat in international waters.

linux is a kernel

The fuck is a third-party browser?

I started using Helix a few weeks ago and I’m in love. I don’t want to spend multiple weekends figuring out the ideal plugin configuration of neovim. Helix seems to do everything I want it to do and nothing I don’t, right out of the box.

So it’s effectively a loan to Nvidia’s non-paying customers, financed by Chinese firms, to prop up the bubble holding the American market together?

I went to look for a link for you and found that I was misremembering. I was thinking of Alexandra Elbakyan, the creator of Sci-Hub, one of the libraries that Anna’s Archive indexes. In case you’re curious about her, here’s an archive of her personal page on Sci-Hub
