HouseAtTheSea··on The year global health went local – Bill Gates
Besides the content, I find the way this article is written, with the two perspectives and the comments on the side, is really interesting and cool.

Thanks, I understand.

Thanks for that but that was kind of my point. I don't get the argument for Pale Moon from reading this. "A browser with a large degree of freedom" - what does that mean, especially when one considers that few lines under that it says that the functionality of newer extensons cannot be guaranteed. Also it says that it's faster, but that seems like something all browsers claim. That's why I was a bit confused.

What exactly is the argument for using the Pale Moon browser? I am genuinely interested since I see it floating around here and there but even when reading the descriptions on the website I have a hard time understanding what really distuingishes it from other browsers in a good way, especially Firefox.

Care to specify what exactly you're thinking about? I mean in a sense we have that freedom, you don't necessarily have to associate with people that you don't want to. It's probably more the reasons you have for it that count here.

To me it seems like this is also a very US American thing. In Germany for instance it is common, even for the most tabloid papers to never publish full last names or clear pictures. Most of the time in pictures faces are made blurry etc.

I have similar feelings in a way. It's crazy to me how ethically dubious bitcoin still seems.
HouseAtTheSea··on Images of Sexual Abuse Are Fueling AI Porn
Just in relation to the connection of technological advancement, porn and sexualized violence: There is also a great (and frankly frightening) podcast episode by Sam Harris with Gabriel Dance about child sexual abuse and how the Internet has played a huge role in making it an even bigger problem: https://samharris.org/podcasts/213-worst-epidemic/
