I don't think so? There's "Find My" network from Apple and there's this one from Google. The only intercompatibility planned is the alerts for unknown trackers following you.

Day XXX of conservatives making liberals look cool by accident.

Well it used to be good, even non techy users knew that IE sucked and when their "computer-whizkid" nephew recommended Chrome it was genuinely faster and leaner than competition. And I've almost forgot the fact that they've advertised chrome (maybe they still do) on the main Google page that gets like billions of pageviews.

FWIW they at least have their own indexer instead of relying on bing/yandex (looking at you ddg). Although I guess selling content you've crawled as your own is still a pretty shady thing to do.

task.org seems to be an oldschool under-construction page, do you mean tasks.org? Also is there a reason you specifically recommend OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice or Collabora Office?

There's a project I'm using that has a lead dev from Russia, so for him that's the only way to receive money. Crypto has been overwhelmingly overtaken by grifters, but there are still uses that just made easier by a decentralized currency.

Surely a browser with a market share 2% that of Chrome's (not total!) doing this will change anything. Surely when Google implements this and your bank and government websites start requiring your browser be "secure" users aren't going to just switch back to chrome where "everything just works".

Not to nitpick, but it wasn't exactly taken down, they've contracted out their TLD to Freenom and that contract has recently ended.

From a psychological view, the best we can do is provide the information and hope that they come to the right conclusion themselves. You're almost never going to convince a person by telling them that they're wrong, and surely not by talking how their children are going to suffer and their house is going to get flooded.

I mean the 2 year drum up to elections so that even my nan who doesn't speak a word of English knows all of the candidates. US is also on the front of the culture wars as well as popular entertainment, so there's a lot of that as well. Anyway, I'm sharing my personal experience and don't feel like there's a need to argue about that, if your local TV presents you a balanced world view great for you.

Listen to this advice if the data is important to you. Also probably don't do anything else to the card just in case you would make it worse.
