I used to self-host an Invidious instance on my home server for personal use, but at some point it stopped working and I haven't tried it again. I might give it another try along with Piped.

But as bad as YT is, by this point I have trained "The Algorithm" well enough that the home feed suggestions are pretty good at pointing me to stuff I actually would watch (mainly tech, science and engineering topics), I think none of the alternative frontend does suggestions, right?

Florisboard with no swipe, no word predictions, no autocorrection, no nonsense.

WPM? Fast enough. It takes more time to proofread, edit and attach files than to actually type, anyway, so I don't care about words per minute. Never have.

Five minute stroll to the bus stop, 3 minute chillout there, hop on the bus, 10 minute ride to the destination and a five minute stroll to the office.

Anarchy does not mean "no laws or regulations". Anarchy means "no vertical power structures".

BTW, Marx's idea of a classless, stateless society is essentially anarchist.

Not necessarily. First, ban huge pickups from private use (make them commercial licence only); second, tax heavier than 2000 kg vehicles. If you make small, light vehicles the norm you'll make roads safer for everyone. Crumple zones etc can be made from composite materials and eg glass fiber is cheap, light and durable.

Remember that an F1 car is surprisingly small and light, yet the driver can walk away from truly awful high speed crashes. We don't need to mandate firesuits and neck restraint devices for road traffic, but at city and intercity road speeds (in Europe, typically 50 and 90 km/h) a small light car can be reasonably safe.

One of the many. Red and black is used by anarcho-communists/anarcho-syndicalists.

The real question that wasn't answered in the article: how does this disease spread? If it only spreads via eating parts of an infected animal, it's fairly easy to contain. If it spreads through bodily fluids, it's like HIV/AIDS and can be mitigated. If it spreads via contact (handshakes, doorknobs etc) it's a nightmare. If it somehow is airborne, well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpFzESVN-xU

Still not as scary as this:
