Do it if you want to, but I feel like it mostly a feel good activity rather than something effective.

For me the only sustainable and worthy solution is massively reinvesting in public education. It's the only way to lift a country's average education equally.

The fact that the Nintendos are locked down, family friendly and with a reputation of good production quality (similar to Disney), are also important points for non-nerdy parents and casual gamers who don't want to navigate the ocean of PC gaming and its risks.

The first step toward meaningful change begins with us. We must abandon our craving for glossy (and therefore glassy) devices, and instead embrace hardware that may not be as immediately pleasing to the eye (as it is the case with e.g. Fairphones or the PinePhone), but is built to be slightly more durable, somewhat repairable, and capable of outlasting even today’s limited commitments to software updates.

Fairphone and PinePhone being only mentioned anecdotally for being too pretty, and I guess not as sturdy as the author wants, is quite weird for an article about reducing fragility and improving repairability.

I'm skeptical about how efficient that could be. Are you going to compete with how much content they are able to produce to ridicule it? I feel like there's some Brandolini's-like law at play here.
What should I see about teenagers? Last I heard, masculinism is growing among them.

Would you have a source that details how Mozilla spends money on the software development of Firefox vs other projects? I couldn't find it in the financial report, so I guess you have another source.

Mozilla Corporation, who gets more than 80% of its funds from Google, around $500 millions, who does that to ensure Google search remains the default and to avoid antitrust issue if Chrome because even more dominant.
Firefox forks will likely not be able to secure such funding and pay the engineers required to further develop a web browser fully independent of Chromium.

How exactly does mockery and ridicule help?

I'd rather put energy in the education of those who can still listen, and the next generation.

I take the expression more as a warning to control it so it does not impact my mental health too much. Getting (properly) informed is good, but if I get so depressed that I can't act positively on the system anymore or I make it worse for me and others, then it becomes counter-productive.

Idk the band much, but I was curious, found this guy.

Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is an English singer who is best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Dickinson has performed in the band across two stints, from 1981 to 1993 and from 1999 to the present day. He is known for his wide-ranging operatic vocal style and energetic stage presence.
...
Outside his career in music, Dickinson has pursued a number of other activities. He undertook a career as a commercial pilot for Astraeus Airlines, which led to a number of media-reported ventures such as captaining Iron Maiden's converted charter aeroplane, Ed Force One, during their world tours. Following Astraeus' closure, in 2012 he created his own aircraft maintenance and pilot training company, Cardiff Aviation. Dickinson presented his own radio show on BBC Radio 6 Music from 2002 to 2010, and has also hosted television documentaries, authored novels and film scripts, created a beer with Robinsons Brewery and competed at fencing internationally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson

 

J'adore les aubergines à la chinoise, j'ai à peu près retrouvé le gout avec cette recette : https://www.undejeunerdesoleil.com/2016/09/aubergines-sautees-sauce-soja.html. À la différence que je ne les fais pas suer avec du sel, parce qu'après, c'est difficile à dessaler. À la place, je les fais sécher à sec dans la poêle avant de les faire sauter comme dans la recette. Il faut bien attendre que les aubergines soient fondantes.

L'omelette est mélangée avec de la sauce soja à la place du sel. Je déverse le mélange dans une grande poêle huilée et bien chaude. Je la fais remonter sur deux côtés opposés pour augmenter sa longueur. Ça me donne aussi une meilleure prise pour commencer à la rouler. Quand je l'ai roulé au 3/4, je la recentre et chasse la liquide pas encore cuit du côté à rouler pour qu'il crée encore de la longueur. On peut être plus au moins rapide selon le niveau de cuisson souhaité.

Le quinoa est cuit à l'eau, puis passé à la poêle un peu pour le rendre un peu croustillant et assaisonné à la sauce soja. Je laisse toujours un peu cuire la sauce soja dans la poêle pour qu'elle révèle son goût carné.

 

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

 

 

I've noticed that when meeting a foreign person, mentioning that you like a beloved artist from their country is one of the best way to create a good vibe.

Which revered artist/group (not necessarily musician) from your place should I learn about?

A few examples I'm thinking about (correct me if I'm wrong):

Country Artist
Argentina Carlos Gardel
Australia Powderfinger
Austria Mozart, Falco, Thomas Bernhard
Beligum Jacques Brel, Stromae
Brazil Raul Seixas, Zé Ramalho
Cabo Verde Cesária Évora
Canada Leonard Cohen, Céline Dion, Gordon Lightfoot
Egypt Umm Kulthum
France Daft Punk
Germany Kraftwerk, Die Ärzte, Franz Kafka
Iceland Björk
Italy Elio e le Storie Tese
Malawai Evison Matafale
Mali Salif Keita
Scotland The Proclaimers, Sean Connery
Sweden Astrid Lindgren
USA Dolly Parton

Edit: Spent my Saturday morning vibing, adding the "consensual" suggestions to the table.
