Very much stolen to be used to curry favor with foreign powers in order to make some money. I'd be willing to bet my life on it.
Yeah. If it was anyone else, they would already be using the word "Treason". But somehow this ass just keeps sliding.
Duck Duck Go. It just works for me. I've never had a problem with it's results.
Ugh. I just don't understand why Jerboa (name doesn't exactly roll of the tongue...but that's neither here nor there)...the biggest frustration (for me) is the wildly different font sizes between looking at the main page and clicking into a discussion. It's jarring and super annoying.
I would love to use Lemmur, but I've been unable to add the lemmy.ca instance to it. It just says "Instance not found"
COVID.
COVID changed everything. In an attempt to recover quickly, companies ramped up their abuses to new levels. While billionaires defending them all had their masks removed as the world collectively realized that it's impossible to make a billion without exploring others.
Toss in back to the office mandates and rising costs while those same companies post record profits...all while the population is Uber sensitive to that kind of thing, and we're in the middle of a not so quiet proletariat revolution.
Thanks to COVID a lot of people realized that despite the elites best efforts, the enemy isn't left or right, it's us versus the super rich. And it's having a trickle down effect.

I just keep an eye on all of them.
Eventually this whole thing will sort itself out and the snowball effect will see some communities get bigger while others fall to the wayside. It's a natural progression.
