If they are okay with increasing their population with new kids and new immigrants, then new fuel will be needed. Germany is cold. Also, by not subsidizing ANYTHING - no food stamps for single mothers or discounts for seniors or free schooling, they'd immediately see people have fewer kids, build smaller houses, buy smaller cars, and by fewer trivial items. Then, people would focus on the most bang for their buck and not take money and belongings for granted. If you cannot see the connection, you'll keep getting poor results. People want the impossible and then whine and scream when the impossible doesn't happen.

crypto has hedge funds? glad I skipped the crypto trend then
I use Firefox and I just do a Ctrl+mouseScrollUp or ctrl+= and it remembers the zoom for that website.
Can't, but it was a big image of a creature or mascot with a big Ukrinian flag. Maybe someone here can add to what I saw.
When Freedom Convoy tried to set up groups on Telegram, they kept getting infiltrated to the point where it was hard to know what was truth or even who official admins were.
verified by whom? Our own parents lie to us sometimes, and even spouses do, so what makes you think media or gov't won't?

Do any offer the option for larger text?
I've switched temporarily to Brave now, but since Brave browser is pushing the "support Ukraine' narrative, I'd guess they, too, could filter results. Most search engines use Google. Any tips on search engines not using Google?
that's a good one. never heard them say that, though. I've seen the same attitude from COnsevative Christians, though, as I have from some zealous covid-will-kill-us-all nuts: they both glady burn you at the stake for not living the way they want you to. They both judge and judge and judge - but, say YOU shouldn't judge others.
I've never seen a FOSS forum with any hate speech - no even on ruqqus, which had loads of jerks.
I do not like religion at all, because I am an atheist,female, and love animals and freedom: so I think they offend me more than vice-versa. If i went around saying I was in a group that revolted around a book that advocated violence, lying, stealing/invading, murder, rape, slavery, pedaphelia, and sexism (for fun, lets pretend its a rightwing book), i bet people would hate me. Why is it okay under the umbrella of religion? because its old? Is it only Jews and Islamists who are protected?
I recently saw a video of a small segment of Hindus drinking cow piss for their health. If I drank cow piss (or my own piss) in public like they did, would I be excused without using religion as an excuse? Who says who is excused and why? Who is the arbiter of truth and justice? In some nonAbrahamic relgions, animals are still sacrificed in public. Are those religions exempt from your scrutiny, because they are a religion? And, how old does a religion have to be to be beyond criticism? Is Scientology too young?
You want your own safe space, but I bet you think a man built like a linebacker should be able to use the ladies room as long as he is dressed like a female. But, wait - some women dress like men, so that gets confusing. Sometimes I dress like a man. Do I get to use the men's room when i am dressed like a man when there is a mile-long line to the women's room? Who gets to jedge whether my clothes are male enough, though? Must my hair also be male? But, what if I am gender-fluid and want to keep my hair longer for tomorrow when i'll be female again? Some biological men wear their hair long, though, and wear earrings. So, where is the rule book that designates all of this?
Do you see my point?
Curious, if every user paid a browser $5 a year for a subscription and every search engine $5 a year, would tht cover costs and allow for a small profit? I realize that depends on how many users there are, but seems like if we can put a pigs heart in a human and have the human live (poor, poor pig) and have a human walk on the moon that we's be able to find a private way for the individual to browse the internet.
We all deserve a salary for our work. But, what about profit? Are there shareholders, angel investors - how does the profit aspect of a browser or search engine work?
Could users buy early shares to later be paid back with future users' payments? The browser would have to accept anonymous users/payments - such as money orders or the equivalent, I think.
less censorship. less "that's not okay here". less throwing around of sentences or words that are meant to silence you (as though by silencing you, that changes you!). Smacking people over the head with your "truth" works for some, but makes enemies of others. Libertarians usually don't do that. They discuss things and each of us learns or understands better - even if we don't change our minds, we don't shut down conversation and can become more tolerant because now we understand how the other feels or thinks without the drama of name-calling, crying/shouting, shunning/shame...those are manipulative tactics that insult one's intelligence. There has been a feeling on most social media that what I say is being logged to be used against me for the cancel-culture to use and/or that I cannot speak freely. I've almost given up on social media...or, on humans. Lemmy.ml isn't so far left that I cannot handle it, but I really like open dialogue and think I am open-minded enough to learn from it - if it is presented in a logical, precise, timely (blunt, short) manner.
the value of older computers may increase. lightweight OSs for an older PC: antiX base runs really well and I think a netinstall of Debian that is customized would, too. We the people need to stop doing business with those who mistreat us. To heck with the latest and greatest - give me freedom instead.
