I'd like a browser that can sync those things with a local folder that I can sync/backup however I want, no account required. Does anyone know of such a thing?

Spanish locals shoot water at visitors in protests against mass tourism in c/[email protected]

Basically, tourism need to be rationed scientifically, not by the markets, and making it exclusive, while appealing to rich people and locals, is unwise.

I just saw this video yesterday with a decent explanation of the problem: Have These Countries Drowned Themselves in Tourism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hHcqP7RrV4 (/Micro-Econ-YT)

Finland's Austerity Gamble: Tax Cuts for the Rich, Pain for the Poor in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Far-right and ancap/neolib types love austerity.

If you look at it from a certain angle, fascist parties are especially about imposing some sort of austerity in order to make sure that a special class gets more wealth and privilege.

Here's a relevant interview:

Major Nickel Supplier Harita Knew About Water Contamination at Indonesian Operation for a Decade (www.occrp.org)
 
  • The Harita Group, a major Indonesian conglomerate, persistently found high levels of the carcinogenic chemical chromium-6 in waters around its nickel mine, which opened in 2010.
  • The conglomerate’s own internal tests showed chromium-6 levels regularly breaching Indonesian legal limits for a decade.
  • Leaked emails show senior Harita executives were aware of the pollution since at least 2012.
  • Residents in the area say they received no warnings about pollution, and the conglomerate has repeatedly stated that local water is safe to drink.
  • Harita did not respond to repeated requests for comment. It has previously stated that its operations were in compliance with local environmental regulations, despite continuing internal reports of chromium-6 levels that exceeded legal limits. Harita also implemented a series of measures to control the pollution, including installing ponds to collect toxic runoff and carrying out chemical treatments.

I do love seeing car parking spaces get tighter and tighter. The bigger the cars, the less road and parking there is go around. Unlike the US, European cities will not be demolishing themselves to make room. The future is not cars.

Carole Cadwalladr - Broligarchs, AI, and a Techno-Authoritarian Surveillance State | The Daily Show (www.youtube.com)
 

“I think what is happening in America is they are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state.” Carole Cadwalladr, the award-winning journalist behind the Substack newsletter “How to Survive the Broligarchy,” talks to Jon Stewart about how the U.S. government ignored the huge wake-up call that was the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook data breach scandal – a story Cadwalladr broke and which resulted in no legislative protections for citizens’ private data. She warns about the unregulated dangers that data-mining and AI pose to individual privacy and freedom, and what people and institutions can do to push back on big tech’s authoritarian agenda.
