Probably because they are just too busy servicing their 5,938 faux friendsies on Fakebook, 8,938 fellow twits on Twitter, making Reddit safe for commiekind, playing stoopid video games, bragging about how privacy is dead, and ranting about how the only people who want privacy is them with something to hide.....to actually become informed on this (or pretty much any other topic).

They much prefer to careen through their pathetic little lives, running on what Gurdjieff called 'autopilot', and either regurgitating the thoughts and opinions of others...or basing their thoughts and opinions on feelings, childish assumptions, idealistic fallacies, etc. Anything to embrace intellectual sloth, or avoid original thought.

Apple has a terrible track record on these things.

Apple is great at marketing and make people trust them, then baam, exploit after exploit for taking over iPhone.

I actually don't think you need to put a lot of effort in order to make Flash usable in a browser. Just get Adobe Flash 32.0.0.363 from Internet Archive (clear net only) and Basilisk Browser (clear net only). Sure, Adobe made Flash dead since 12 January 2021, Mozilla will fully kill Flash after 7 September 2021, Google made Flash dead since 19 January 2021, Microsoft released a Flash-killing update on 18 February 2021, Apple was the earliest to kill Flash on 16 September 2020, so using Flash has been made more difficult, but it's still not impossible!

And actually, if you know how Microsoft earns money, then I guess it's fine?

Flash died at the beginning of 2021. Unless you put lots of effort in, it won't work in any browser anymore.

I trust Microsoft more than I trust DDG, which is why I have no problem using Bing directly. And the reason I trust Microsoft is because I understand how they make money. I don't use Bing, I use searx. But I'd use Bing over DDG.

TL;DR: yes, ungoogled-chromium was a pain to create, but IDK why would you use Bing/Yahoo directly instead of using DuckDuckGo as a middleman.


Ah, creating ungoogled-chromium. It was a pain, and while Eloston (I guess that's their name?) is a nice and skilled guy, the Chromium codebase is massive, so I feel like this might not be long until ungoogled-chromium dies, and that's sad because I won't really have any good web browser choices:

  • GNU IceCat - it's freetardist, so no Flash Player, and there's the annoying LibreJS add-on. Also, it still suffers from Firefox's BS, like the bad UI, slow speed, barely any configuration, depreciated XUL add-ons, etc.
  • Pale Moon - has an add-on blocklist, enables WebAssembly by default, has spyware by default, etc.
  • Otter Browser - uses QtWebEngine, which is controlled by Goolag, and it doesn't support add-ons

I think the only good browser is Web Browser, but, well, it turns out the compiling process for Windoze (which I might be still forced to use) has been removed, so that's a problem.

Also, why would you use Bing directly instead of through a proxy like DuckDuckGo? (I mean, it could fit into the definition of a proxy server - a server that is a middleman between the user and the other server) Or Yahoo, for that matter, since both are used when searching with DuckDuckGo? In this case, I would rather proxy than to directly give data to some big corpo, but okay.

Totally true.

Outlaw country = the trailer park and mucky farms. Rap is urban asses fault, I mean asphalt at 130F and projects and hoods.

Different wrappers on the same social dysfunction.

Often poverty as major underlying cause. Mental health like 80% of time in play. Drugs and alcohol are almost always an arm length away. Abuse soon follows.

I am okay with both forms of music. So long as it isn't horror and gore just for shock value. So long as it isn't artist just trying to be a bad ass cause of their scary past.

I like music that tells stories. Prefer true stories. Doesn't need to be their own story.

Not into degenerate, demeaning, etc. Some old stuff that I tolerate like that. Gil Scott Heron back in 1970s had a choice track about trannies parading around New York City. Today he'd get endless terror because of. Back then it was edgy but fine. Not mainstream airplay, nor was much of his large body of work.

WAP? Sure that's a good thing and saves on the KY. But that's some filthy ghetto stuff and no place should be for it on the public radio waves. Include in that big chunk of rap, and big chunk of outlaw country.

Toss in metalcore too and the endless satan signaling, blood worship, etc.

Facebook routinely asks for ID.

They also hunt and track you all over the net. Reason there why you should block Facebook's domains entirely on your network and only do logged in socializing there via Tor (ideally on a different device used just for that filth).

I am a big fan of Jello Biafra's spoken word albums.

Back when issues were real and people decent about the struggles against the imposing force of government.

Recent times Biafra has fallen out of sanity and went on Nazi rant about Trump. War of words against his former bandmates. Etc.
