First off there's no such thing as 100% clean or renewable power. Solar panels are metals (mined with petroleum powered equipment and probably refined in China using coal) plus petroleum products (plastics etc). They're shipped around on trucks and boats, and if they're burnt to remove the petrolium products before extracting the metals when they're 'recyced' then it's literally burning fossil fuels.

Not only that but they're buying RECs. The power they're consuming could very well be 100% generated by coal, but they gave a few bucks to somebody who had solar or wind.

I would absolutely download a car 😆

There's a lot of companies that produce them, and at least a few big brand names that are making their own and for sure not just relabeling something else.

They probably communicated news of the phase out though fax

I mean if they're gonna give money without demanding anything I'm sure no complaints from the devs.

Shopify or an exec there might find some value in avoiding Google owning the web, could maybe bring goodwill for the company, or they could just be looking for a write off.

The only thing that I fear more than big tech is a bunch of old people in congress trying to regulate technology who probably only know of AI from watching terminator.

Also, fun Scott Wiener fact. He was behind a big push to decriminalization knowingly spreading STDs even if you lied to your partner about having one.

As far as I know that's nothing to write home about, monocrystaline solar panels get like ~30 years dropping down to 80% and then slowly begin to fail from there. I'm far from an expert, but my understanding is this is the norm and that if we found out they weren't lasting this long then people would be getting worried about a messed up cost calculous.

Iirc E/OS is based on Lineage, but takes a horrifying long time to patch in security updates on top of Lineage's already somewhat laggy patches. If you choose to use it make sure you're aware of that going in.

Also, like IIGxC said it's a android. Maybe slightly more private that most stock versions on most phones. But that's like saying [insert Linux distro] is better than Linux.

As much as I hate to say it, Firefox is a privacy mess.

Pocket and Fakespot have very bad privacy policies. The Windows version has a unique Mozilla tracker if you download the installer from the website, and the android version has Google Analytics built in. The existing and new telemetry is a but heavy, but it's anonymised so it's really the lesser of the various evils.

My recommendation is LibreWolf & Fennec as alternatives.

The EPA makes really tight emissions targets for vehicles under a certain size or the auto makers have to pay a fee iirc. Pretty sure they the medium sized stuff out of existance, an unfortunately I'm guessing the same fees would apply to imports too.

Anyone able to loan me under $10,000? It's for something really cool.
