Canadian open-source peer-to-peer (i.e. no company-owned central server that might access communications) cross-platform software that does messages, voice, video etc:

Open source Risc-V CPUs are starting to become a thing, but probably a few years before they're widespread.

I don't know but my speculation:

  • Europe's economy (from which the Church's income was largely derived) didn't go into overdrive until the Renaissance / Columbus landing in America.
  • That growth being offset by the Reformation, with a lot of Europeans leaving the Roman Catholic Church.
  • The somewhat decentralized nature of the Church, with a lot of assets in the hands of monastic orders and semi-autonomous archbishoprics.
  • Perhaps an absolutist theocratic monarchy is not the most conducive form of government for economic and population growth.

The population started to tick up with the Renaissance, but when Italy essentially unified under a more modern constitutional monarchy in 1861, ending the Pope's temporal power over the city, Rome's population growth went stratospheric.

I've been using the Firedragon web browser which comes with its own instance of SearxNG as default, but sometimes it gives an error message when I search, and almost always slows me down with a Cloudflare bot check.

Do you have a preferred SearxNG instance?

Like the mouthpieces for the Other Dear Leader in (not) the People's (not) Democratic (not a) Republic of Korea.

They've already barred AP, and seized control over who gets to come into any event that can't fit the entire press corps from the White House Correspondents Association.

Pretty soon, it'll be just OAN, Newsmax and The Daily Stormer asking her "questions".

Sounds like a slippery slope to Truth Socialism!

Yeah, but what-aboutery is the standard response of the playbook MAGA use (the CCP's).

Just because he sucked the blood of many Transylvanians doesn't make him genocidal!
