You forgot the most important one, Norway is the world's first country of electrical car ownership by percentage, yet they are among the world's highest oil and gas producers, and they like to call themselves the most eco-friendly country in the world.
This content has been moving from free accessible internet into the walled gardens of social media. we did it ourselves. blogs and forums disappeared, copycat farms and SEO made it so maintaining blog or a community forum a waste of time, everyone is just tiktoking and looking to monetise every bit of content they put on the internet.
Violence erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles after pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian campus encampment. Bubbling tensions on the campus boiled over following the alleged breach of a "buffer zone" between the rival groups.
You wont hear mainstream media question why the police retracted a short moment before pro-Israeli thugs stormed in the encampment and attack the peaceful protesters, they came back in to only arrest the pro-palestine protesters. the establishment has payed to end the protests and establishment media are only parading the side of the story the have been paid for to.
Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday....

Every month, many millions of Americans visit pirate streaming site FMovies to bypass paid subscription services and watch movies and TV series for free.

Cheap and working smartwatches for 25$ already exists, they are flooding the markets of developing countries and they are of a OK quality for a smartwatch, they mostly originate from Shenzhen China, problem is there are no software engineers to hack these smartwatches and pair them with open source software instead of chinese spyware smartphone apps.
I've got myself one of these watches hoping I can learn to program something for it, After extracting the facecwatches I found out those were binary files, After many hours searching the internet for help or people who might have already hacked them. I've given up because I knew that even If I start learning assembly, there is no guarantee that I can build my own watch faces using that knowledge, it's a shame cause Chinese gadget are a treasure trove for hackers and people looking for good deals.
Tried it, doesn't work with these smartwatches, they are shipped with proprietary OS and proprietary OEM apps, the Face-watches are also proprietary formats.

Western media hypocrisy made it seem mike an ordinary thing to target embassies, which have a very particular status akin to targeting the homeland territory , some mainstream media barely touched upon the news or dismissed it completely, if it were any other country like Russia targeting an EU embassy in asia or Africa it would have been non-stop news and escalation. they manufacture the outrage on small issues and keep the people ignorant on more important ones.

No, Sounds like someone who can't give a counter arguments, and instead reverts to crying about trolls, bots, and calling for the opposite side to be censored.
But I prefer the minimalist and snappier invidious interface. + Invidious is already slow at fixing issues even with the good userbase, I don't know fast this project will be at fixing YouTube constant changes.
Take for instance Likes and dislikes counts are broken on all invidious instances, but on materialious they are displayed with no problem, are you telling me the invidious API was returning the counts just fine but they didn't bother fixing the interface for months now ???

Content creators won't follow because there isn't any monetary incentive to do so. I have been regularly checking out Peertube for 4 years now and it is mostly a backup option for those that one day YouTube might delete their channel.
it will download the youtube page and remove trackers and telemetry. but google can still correlate traffic from ip to other identities of yours, I am not sure if by using invidious whereby you download the webpage from the instance and the video feed directly from youtube ( if you are not using proxy option in invidious) is more private than using Freetube and NewPipe which download both the feeds from youtube. only someone from google can tell if they track connexions to youtube "video servers".

The world's biggest military power bending backwards to a small country like Israel should be enough proof that the US is run by the Zionist Diaspora. they have captured power in the US from both political parties.
Do you want to vote for genocide or for genocide because either way your are getting genocide.
So AIPAC isn't a thing to you ? or Rich American Zionist donors like the current US ambassador to japan Rahm Emanuel who was funneling money to the Israeli Propagandists Cochav Elkayam Levy who is behind the Hamas ‘Mass Rape’ Narrative Exposed As Fraud. their is no Hate in admitting that Many Zionists occupy key positions of power in many countries and parliaments like US, UK and Canada and are working to advance Israel interest.
The liberal left has become very stupid and naive by labeling everything as hate, because they are unable to face the facts, by refusing to get into merky territory, they are keeping the working class under the illusion of a fair democratic system, while in reality they have those who pull the strings keep the status quo.

We are acting as if through out history we managed to orient technology so as to to only keep the benefits and eliminate negative effects. while in reality most of the technology we use still comes with both aspects. and it is not gonna be different with AI.

All I see is panic. supposedly If the majority of women were pro-abortion, you wouldn't have to worry about Trump and republicans winning the next elections. women alone would flip the red states. but apparently not all women agree with abortion.
The sad thing is making the masses believe that under capitalism, companies strive for competition by making better and distinct products, while in this last century reality most of them are competing for who gets acquired by the bigger corporations and exit with shit loads of money.
They have joined the military or private military companies since. they can kill as much as they like with complete impunity, in many wars like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, Palestine and Gaza, plus it's brown people they are killing so they feel triple the reword, society is fine with that as long as it who they view as the enemy who's the subject of their carnal instincts.
You can't convince me that the image of the horrors committed by the IDF in Gaza and the US military aren't of psychopaths having a blast paid for their own societies.
As if the worst foe of the Islamic state right now is the Russian Federation .. very suspicious especially when many embassies warned their citizens to leave Russia just a week ago because they had Intel about major terror attacks coming to Russia.
When it comes to foes Israel, US, France, UK, Germany, Netherlands; KSA, UAE should top the list.
unless someone else is pulling the strings and using them to advance their geopolitical agendas. terror attacks abroad have almost no impact on rallying support in the regions they want control over.
the cat is out of the bag. every nation and company is racing to invent the most advanced AI ever. and we are entering times when negative impact of AI outweighs the positive use of it.
I am really feeling uneasy about the uncertain times ahead of us.
