You can’t just fork a browser engine. You need a lot of resources to keep one alive. The only browser engine that I know of which was successfully forked was goanna. And that’s a gecko fork from when it wasn’t even multithreaded, and it still took years.

So, it depends on google

Brave is google

Usually autocorrect accuracy is directly proportional to info stealing by the keyboard. Google’s autocorrect is so good because it’s constantly phoning home with what people write so they can improve their model.

I use a keyboard with no autocorrect (Unexpected Keyboard), and, although it took a while to get used to it, I got used to typing fast and mostly accurately after some time using it. You can also get used to your autocorrect’s quirks, and you’ll find that you will type faster with it.

Brave is chrome

Vivaldi is google

I’m surprised nobody mentioned “All I Want For Christmas Is You” yet

Youtube Music ReVanced should be good, it’s the legacy of Youtube Music Vanced, which has served me well for years, even after its takedown.

Protests are not made for other people to join, protests are made to show the government/ruling class that the workers are angry and how much harm they could do to their business. People joining in and becoming interested in the fight is a nice side effect.

Can you elaborate a bit more? I don’t seem to understand what you mean.

Protests are only good if they’re annoying. They’re meant to be annoying. They’re meant to make other people notice, to stop traffic, to cause delays and ideally an economic hit to the city. If nobody felt the protest, how do you expect it to have an effect?

Probably years, if not more. XKCD’s “What If?” has a nice explanation on a similar question, but in that case it was a portal at the bottom of the mariana trench and the question was about draining the oceans. The answer is that you probably wouldn’t notice in all your lifetime.

If you torrent media, you should keep it at least until you have a positive ratio. Torrenting is a group effort, and every time someone has a negative ratio, someone else needs to overcompensate for it. If you don’t keep your ratios, you’re also making the torrent die, which is bad for media preservation.

Yeah I know I should, and it’s on my list, but I haven’t changed it yet lol. I’m making it work like this and if I can stretch it until they replace it for a more capable model, that’s money that I don’t have to spend on it.

250 active connections is the limit with my ISP provided router. You can get beyond that, but it causes a lot of instability, and eventually, the network fails and the router reboots.

On another note, I don’t limit my bandwidth at all and I’ve managed to get uploads/downloads of up to 142% the speed which I should get.

Not really, at least not because of the data access. Drives mainly die because of their age.
SSDs will basically not degrade by reading them, they only degrade when you write to them.
HDDs can get degraded because of data access, but most HDD deaths are caused by bearing failures or head crashes, which are more of a matter of power-on hours.

What all of this means is that if you already kept your device on 24/7, your drives aren’t gonna degrade noticeably faster by having your torrent client accessing them all the time.

You don’t get warnings in Spain, I have never seen one or met anyone who saw one. And I have seeded hundreds of TiB of linux ISOs from a home computer.

Yeah it sounds so bizarre to me… What do you mean your ISP is constantly snooping all your encrypted traffic or trying to de-anonimize you by making undercover peers? That doesn’t sound very net neutral…

There is scripting on them, and afaik it’s actually javascript. It’s a limited version of it (the actual specification was supposed to allow for data sending and receiving, and complete arbitrary code), but it’s enough to run code. A madlad has ported doom and linux to PDF, and you can fully run them on a compliant enough pdf viewer.
