I am curious how Elon expects robots to create infinite abundance with limited resources.
Where those robots are going to be getting fresh water? Nuclear energy? Rare earth for GPUs? They are all limited.
There is also only a limited amount of CO2 you can pump into the atmosphere until you create uncontrollable spiraling of greenhouse effect. And since basically all consumption creates additional CO2, you can’t have infinite consumption without causing infinite CO2
Ethics exist independently of any deities even if they did exist.
If ethics didn’t exist separately, and God is actually the source of good, then we would have a lot of logical paradoxes to solve.
For instance, let’s assume God is who defines goodness and educates us on it, and goodness does not exist without God.
Thus, we recognize we don’t have inherent ability to define what’s good or bad. But that also means we can’t prove God is good, because we already recognized only God can define what’s good.
I might have butchered the logical fallacy a bit, logic is hard, but I remember it roughly being stated this way.
Or both! Don’t consume where possible, seek out the most ethical option when you must
Jurisdiction doesn’t matter, it’s an myth spread by Protonmail marketers so everyone thinks their privacy is ensured by some strict Swiss privacy laws.
Although privacy laws are pretty mild everywhere. Even GDPR is quite outdated and is barely enforced.
Proton, Tuta and others do it because “Swiss privacy” or “EU-based” brand is much more recognizable and easier to sell people on, compared to “we do metadata obfuscation” or “here is our 50 page long security audit”.
However, what actually matters more is security architecture. Signal is US based, but they thought through how to retain as little data on users as possible, so when FBI asked them for info, Signal could only give them date of account registration, user ID, and last login.
TLDR ignore country of registration and HQ location, evaluate on the merits
NYM seems promising, they are trying to build a decentralized VPN with multiple nodes, same as TOR but faster, so no one has full data who talks to who and what type of traffic.
However it’s only been around for a year, so we still don’t have enough data if their approach works or not compared to traditional VPNs.
iVPN is a good one, it has been around for 15 years now, and is also privacy and FOSS focused like Mullvad.
However they lack some security features that Mullvad has: DEITA, diskless servers etc.
Ultimately I would say go with:
NYM if you want to gamble (high risk high reward),
Mullvad for good security, but yeah your money goes to a far-right party in Sweden,
iVPN: worse security than Mullvad, but more trustworthy than NYM, and your money doesn’t fund right-wing populism
AFAIK Firefox forks aren’t too different from Firefox feature-wise. It’s hard to make substantive changes to Firefox, so most forks like Librewolf or Waterfox slightly change default settings and extensions, but not sidebars and other cosmetics.
So unfortunately, there is probably no Firefox browser that would have Vivaldi’s features.
Maybe you could try uBlock Origin Lite? It’s Manifest v3 compliant, and I don’t remember having any issues with YouTube shorts using it. I use it on “optimal” filtering mode
It’s worse than average person. I don’t even see tech-savy friends use adblockers nowadays. No idea why, I never asked.
And I feel like majority of people don’t even know browser extensions exist, and those who do think it’s all shady and malware, so they avoid those like plague.

Uh, it’s like comparing the best life you could have in Western Europe with the worst life you could have in American suburbs.
It’s no different from comparing an American surgeon earning 400k yearly in Manhattan to a person surviving in Belarus or Albania. Same bias but flipped in opposite direction.
Both comparisons would be unfair.
I am not saying life is worse in the EU than in the US, but there are many better ways to argue that more logically using data.

I guess as always: people lie with their mouth, and tell the truth with their wallet.
