A video for you too https://v2.incogtube.com/watch?v=t5UPnuSTRjA
This is a list of scientists who have made statements that conflict with the scientific consensus on global warming as summarized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and endorsed by other scientific bodies. A minority of them are climatologists.
Nearly all publishing climate scientists (97–98%[1]) support the consensus on anthropogenic climate change
So, because 2-3% of climatologists doubt the findings, that gives them more weight in your opinion than the 97-98%? Climatology isn't a soft science like social sciences, you know?

Reply to comment by Wingless in FF Solution to tell websites to fuck off with webp, but still allow display of webp if there is no alternative by Wahaha
Maybe someone at the top of Google bet someone else at the top of Google a dollar that he could make jpg and png go away from the Internet. I think he lost the bet.

Webp is not any better than other formats (many say worse), less compatible, yet Google made it and promotes it and apparently does weird SEO blackmail behind the scenes for it. Question I have is why???
Tech companies only do things for one reason, and that reason is to spy on you. But how does Google spy on you with an unwanted image format?

Any chance they can rebrand and relaunch as Yahoo Wrong Answers? Truth in advertising and all.

I'm not against scientific method, I'm against scientific establishment. The cocksuckers who promote agendas for money and power, who suppress genuine research. Those will come up with whatever consensus necessary to saw off all the forests on earth or whatever else satan demands of them.

If that dude wants to see support for his hardware that old, he better write it himself. It's not locked in like the bullshit that Apple puts out.

If I could watch stuff, listen to music and podcasts + read news on I2P, the clearnet would become much less interesting to me.

Hurrdurr, I'm a troll and conflate issues to trigger people because it's cool to be anti-science and pro-bullshit.
Good job

That ship has sailed, too. I can make pretty much none of the things I use. I don't know how to build a house. I can't make a screen, toilet, frying pan, dish washer... looking around me right now, I see exactly zero things that I could have made myself. Not even a bottle out of glass or a simple book. Nevermind the clothes I'm wearing. I can't even make the fabric the cloth is made from.
Thinking back, it started around the time the pocket watch was introduced. So some 200 odd years ago? At least I think basically none of the people owning a pocket watch could have made it by themselves.
I don't think it's a bad thing, either. Someone that knows how to make pocket watches can make a living from it because basically no one else has this specialized knowledge. And everyone else isn't forced to waste time acquiring not only the knowledge, but also the skill to make a pocket watch. Everyone wins.
It's when there is major gatekeeping going on to prevent others from becoming pocket watch makers, that there is a problem.

I know it's hard to accept, for myself as well, but it seems that the following logic applies everywhere, and most apparent at high tech: If you can't make it yourself then you don't deserve to use it. How many of them individuals or small groups have the means to make their own hardware? But everyone seems to have the needs to use it, and the needs grow up with bloatware, as they always do under consumerism.

This is the computer I use specifically for testing software designed for old computers.
Then use an OS the software was designed for in the first place.
Our intentional built-in obsolescence
His Inspiron 5100 was released about 2004. That's a full life. Put it out to pasture.
I had one that old, and it died. My oldest working machine is from '08, and another is from '09, and they are showing their age with hardware errors. I expect them to die any moment. It won't be worth replacing components, even if it turns out to be cheap. And I personally couldn't, for example, replace capacitors on a modern computer without destroying it. They consume more power in a year than they're worth, anyway, so it wouldn't be cost effective, which his bullshit environmental analysis ignores.
At some point the one guy complaining his ancient box doesn't work will be the only one who notices, because he has the only working one.

Both me and rambler use I2P+ . It's I2P Java Router on steroids. You can always join #saltr on I2P IRC to get more support.

If only modern laptops (and desktops) didn't all had hardware backdoors. http://0gitnick.i2p/2021/01/22/article-you-should-be-using-an-old-computer/

It's not Linux, it's people. People have abandoned old hardware. Since it's Linux, you could just work yourself on making it compatible again. No one cares to do that.
Also, I don't have that problem. Void Linux runs just fine on my 20 year old laptop. Lots of slowdowns once you do stuff like browsing the Internet, but just opening vim and managing text works great. But yeah.. the thing is a brick and if modern laptops didn't all have shit keyboards, I wouldn't have bothered in the first place.
