Brave Browser + AdGuard is also good at blocking youtube ads.

most creative work

DaVinci Resolve is pretty good. Works on linux and certainly has more features than I need by a long shot. I think Adobe products are the main bottleneck for creative work on linux. Though, the Adobe set of products are so darn expensive, it's really not a great solution if literally anything else can do the job instead.

Glad to see Ukraine is getting more and more support. These will also be easier to integrate into their systems since they are now operating F-16s, a platform that has already been integrated with this weapon system. So, we don't need to figure out how to get them to play nice with soviet systems like the MiG-29 as was done for things like HARM anti-radiation missiles. IIRC, they ended up adding a tablet into the cockpit to interact with the HARMs, but even then they could only use a subset of the missile's standard functions with it.

This isn't about saving oneself from US access in exchange for Russian access. It is about already permitting US access, then ADDING Russian access on top. It doesn't matter if the US feds are worse than Russian feds or vise versa, the worst possible choice is giving both entities access. Which is exactly what a US company does when they install a Russian AV across their network.

this risk is even greater for the person with windows installed on their personal computer

I'm fully onboard with Linux. And we can see from the usage charts others are taking notice of the benefits.

If you are a US based company, you already have to comply with US government legal requests. However, if you are a US company and using a Russian AV, now your AV will have to comply with Russian government requests. Russia is well known for asymmetric attacks, and giving that geopolitical adversary kernel level access to your entire corporate network is .... unwise.

I'm surprised at how many companies still use a Russian AV. You are relying on this singular piece of software to keep your computer safe, and you pick the Russian one? Particularly when Windows Defender is right there. All you have to do is....not install the Russian AV.

Using youtube with Brave Browser and AdGuard blocks youtube ads on iOS.

I’m not surprised they wanted help defending themselves from the genocidal terrorists in Israel.

Hezbollah/Lebanon should probably stop attacking Israel with rockets if they don't want Israel to fight back.

There is! !credibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Though it hasn't been active in awhile.

Edit: Also the other !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works community is more lively than this one.

why do we believe that 2030 nuclear plants will be competitive with 2060 solar panels or wind turbines

They have to be competitive with solar panels & grid-scale energy storage costs combined. You can't leave off 90% of the cost and call it a win. Unless you are fine pairing solar panels with natural gas as we currently do; but that defeats much of the purpose of going carbon-free.

If 1990 nuclear plants aren’t competitive with 2024 solar panels

They aren't competitive with 2024 solar panels paired with natural gas. But, again, is that really the world you are advocating for?

Wind and solar also have to be paired with either cheap natural gas or energy storage systems that are often monstrously expensive. Unfortunately these numbers are almost always left out when one discusses prices.

People do appreciate the lights staying on, after all.
