That's a smaller population than I thought. I thought maybe a half a million at least but I guess not.

I used the auto-generated title for this but realized that the actual title looks different so should I change it?

It is the exploitation that's wrong. That goes for animals as well as plants. If we can avoid that then things would be a lot better

I mean it is a common sentiment that has been measured:

Beyond that if you are insinuating that it is a coordinated campaign of people doing this, I mean yeah that's probably true to some extent. But the reason why they are targeting that is because they know it is a weak point.

So posting an article showing that the cost of living is going down would make that kind of sentiment less justified.

Edit:

I also liked this quote from it:

Most don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, apathetic and afraid, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade their own people to stay out of politics, and above all to convince them that there is no democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong. The democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

I guess my question is progress towards what? I mean no one's gonna stop you its your own computer do what you want.

For me though it just isn't worth the risk.

I mean sure but if you get hacked (which will eventually happen to someone if this is rolled out) just having the information stored in the first place becomes a risk. So I think it is better to not have it in the first place.

I'd go for a SearXNG instance, since its a meta search engine, its gonna work unless all other search engines shut down.

Also nice benefit of being FOSS and of no charge.

I just read your profile and can't believe you guys have been on lemmy for 3 years. What made you guys join before lemmy got popular?

Idk, I was just thinking flowers or fruit growing from the walls or maybe even furniture/utilities being a part of the building itself in such a way that depending on how you use them the shape changes over time I haven't really thought that far ahead.

Ah well then I might try and find a license that doesn't require attribution because I don't care about that part. But the rest seem exactly what I'm going for.
