Is the opposite of dangerous. Being informed helps people make better decisions, and on a macro scale it helps society progress by not basing the collecting decisions on erroneous or untruths ideologies. The example you gave is theoretically possible and it may have happened once a century but, the reality is that people that does not believe the religious belief of free-will, do not behave like that.

You gave an argument against free will based on Determinism, but there are other good and even better arguments IMO. Like the science-centrist arguments of Neuroscience , Psychological and the Evolutionary Arguments. Then there are the philosophical Arguments from Divine Predestination or Fate. There are still more but the fun is on the discovery.

“Feelings are like children, you can’t let them drive, but you can’t put them in the trunk.”

But I feel that one has a ¨spiritual parent¨:

“Educate a child so you don’t have to reprimand an adult.”

and a ¨spiritual sibling¨:

“If your only tool is a Hammer then every problem looks like a Nail.”

Yes. And I’m using Tasker to automatically switch the Android setting to use Private DNS when not connected to my Wifi SSID. That way I have never used up the free usage of 300,000 queries.

Pi-Hole for home Wifi, Guest Wifi for IoT devices. For Desktop PC I use Linux, hardened Firefox, uBlock Origin extension. For the Phone I use NextDNS, work Profile for IoT apps, and F-Droid for some apps.

I’ve never used it but it is my understanding that it pretty much the same thing with more functionality.

The question doesn’t make sense. They are projects with different purposes. and what kind of potential you are asking? popularity, ease of use, mass market, etc?

its the function called Antennas.

Mr/s. financial expert, how much is way down? How does the cost vs revenue compared? Is it a net positive or negative. I’ll wait for you to put 2 and 2 together to see if I celebrate or not yet.

Can someone explain me [ X country] obsession with [ X celebration] and similar [location] rituals? Why do different cultures have their respective rituals? Why do some people prioritize certain values and act on them? Is having more reasons to celebrate life a bad or good thing?

That post is pure hysteria. First no one knows when Gabe is going to die, and even if he live very long he may step down due to old age still.

• also worrying so much about something that may happen 14 years later according to op is unnecessary and distorted thinking.
• why assume there is going to be a power vacuum? can’t he and his leadership make pans of succession?
• then believing a whole made-up story going down the rabbit hole of the worst case scenario is again unnecessary and distorted thinking. Is okay to think of worst case scenarios but to take them as if they were real is gifting ourselves anxiety for free.
• in any case, the mental exercise of thinking of some undesirable possibilities allow us to take precautions and prepare to the extend that is appropriate and reachable. Which would be the most efficient behavior that thwarts “actual fear” as OP writes it.

By that logic, every photo taken by a Samsung smartphone is fake.

IMO Friendica feels like beta software or outdated with no signs of improvement. Similar to how LibreOffice used to be for years. The layout is just not streamlined enough. It’s unnecessary complicated and the UI looks outdated on all themes.

If you cannot read it due to paywall search for an extension/add-on called Bypass Paywalls Clean.

What do you mean? Do you believe China is not a Dictatorship? That they do not heavily regulate the news both out and in. Are you even aware China has a “Great Firewall” to filter dissent speech? I like to read Light Novels from Japaneses, Korean and Chinese authors. From the many I’ve read, I encountered 3 really good novels that are sadly on “Hiatus”. Guess from where and why? If they can be this petty with fictional LNs they are capable of everything. I really don’t understand how will anyone defend China’s government unless you are a Chinese government shill, or are oblivious to world news.

• don’t use any screen an hour prior to going to bed.
• make sure you’re comfortable (temperature, light, sounds, mattress)
• every night make a list on paper of all the things that worries you both consciously and subconsciously. Don’t know what are your subconscious worries? Speak with a therapist. Deal with whatever thing you need to do before bed, if nothing urgent, then declare to your mind that you will work on them the next day or in the future since your only job right then is to sleep.

Their government is a dictatorship and want to keep it like that. Thus they block any “dangerous” ideas. This is of course an oversimplification but you get the jest of it.

I don’t think there is one. What I do is use the website on Firefox wth uBlock Origin, and Decentraleyes add-ons.
