Always remember that biometrics can be compelled by the court in the US, but a password cannot.
Good. Now do the same with EV/Solar/Wind subsidies
Only two kinds of people believe in infinite growth; economists and psychopaths.

Some of that stuff just doesn’t exist now without Google.
I disagree. EVERYTHING Google offers has some sort of alternative. Will it take more effort? Sure. But I have been Google free for over 2 years now and I have not once been unable to do anything because Google has some imagined exclusivity.

Something to consider
“We have better non earth destroying energy fossil fuel… That guy is a dinosaur.”
So you’re willing to give up plastics and electronics, which use byproducts from oil refining? Let us know when you practice what you preach.
EV proponents…I mean fanbois are still in love with China and the slave/child labor in the Congo. Nothing says “I love EVs” like genocide, concentration camps, totalitarian regimes, and slave labor of the worst kind.
I don’t understand the issues surrounding bottom watering pots with a wick.
I have a number of succulents in them, and of course the usual unkillable Pothos. I partially/fully fill the bottom part (Depending on it’s carrying capacity) once every 2+ weeks and for the succulents they’re good to go. Saves me A LOT of effort doing the usual bottom watering process of putting the pots in a large container of water until the water saturates the soil.
Can someone go into detail on the downsides of such pots?
