- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 1 week ago:
He wants to seize Greenland, Panama and Canada because they are either strategically important or have valuable resources, or both. This name change though is just because he hates Mexicans.

I can’t think of a fully independent one.
- Comment on Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month 1 week ago:
Kagi includes search results from the big search engines, which would mean Google and Bing. So while they do some of their own crawling to improve the results, some of your money will still be going to Google and Microsoft. It’s still a step in a better direction though. I don’t know whether Kagi has any plans to become more independent in future.

Without a doubt they have those other use cases in mind too. Mentioning them is just not good for marketing on a public news site.
- Comment on MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs 1 week ago:
They think there will be more profit in it, especially since bees can’t be repurposed as weapons.

- Comment on The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis 1 week ago:
Hard to tell. The picture was widely used in the media, and they’re usually quite careful about that kind of thing. There’s something reddish in it, but it could be material from the truck or its contents. One of the photos the police released of his guns had some read foamy material in it, another photo had some stringy red material (plastic?) lying in the road, and there were various red items in the bed too.

The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysisfuturism.com ↗ - Comment on Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access point 1 week ago:
Not all of these mini PCs have a wifi card in them even if they have the antennas for it. You might need to start by penning it to check whether the wifi antennas are connected, or whether you need to add a WiFi card.
I think OPNsense would do what you’re looking for. I use it on a mini PC as my router, but you can run it as an access point too.

Right now it’s generally used the other way round.

I’m sure people pointed out all of those things and were overruled by the Nazi in charge.

The best thing they could do for their sales is get rid of all ties to Elon Musk.

- Comment on ‘I was a multimillionaire, I had a beautiful girlfriend, I was unhappy’: the ups and downs of a supertrader 3 weeks ago:
“The rich have got a choice,” he says. “They can lend the money to the government or they can buy the assets. I know what I’m doing.”
“OK, what’s that?” I ask, trepidatiously, knowing the answer.
“I’m buying the assets. Stocks, gold, commodities, property, everything. The rich have got a lot of money, they can buy everything. The government has got to compete with that. They can’t. They’re trying to play chess with no pieces.”
This sound like the activity of a leftist. But it’s an interesting question, to what extent you can play the capitalist game while still claiming to be a leftist? When are you undermining from within and when have you just gone over to the other side, no matter how you conceive of yourself?
