I don’t see how history is a take. I literally wrote papers in college about this.
The goal wasn’t to make the British go away, the goal was to have representation and more than half of the people in the colonies weren’t even for the revolution. This is why they dressed up as natives for the Boston tea party so they could blame that shit on the natives.
The support of independence wasn’t much till Paul Revere demonized the Boston massacre into being much more villainous than it was.
The colonies kinda got what they want in revolution with the articles of confederation but with the rise of the federalists the US was created as a V2 of the British empire.
But to avoid this you could run a VM and restore to a snapshot but that’s not really switching to Linux. Windows/Mac users should generally not just jump into Linux but transition to it.
Lemmy as usual disregarding pragmatism to be as dogmatic as possible
Or building a flopinator to play music with
Plus headphone jack
To me it looks like they think of the Internet like corporations do and needing growth to justify investment. I think that’s fair reasoning for sites that are profit driven but Lemmy isn’t.
Sure but when I’m not on my network a VPN doing that is good.
But some VPNs do provide you a little protection on things you might click on. Ublock and not being a dummy will get you around most of that use but for general users it is more safe.
There are far more uses for a VPN. For instance if I want to access my NAS while outside my home.
This building looks like I feel clocking in for work.
Not only does this reduce GPU power usage but CPU as well.
I’m not going to pay for Spotify either. Music should be a federated platform where you can purchase music directly from the artist and not pay massive corporations like Spotify, Google, or Apple for the luxury of doing nothing.
Some VPNs advertise they stop malware so I get why they say that but you’re right.
I prefer to eat a kilo of uranium
Gasoline is comparatively
A lot of that was also the British taking Irish food supplies.
Beans are cheaper dry than canned though. If you have the patience you can start them in a slow cooker before you go to work.
Garlic, onion, and peppers go miles in making beans taste good while also being cheaper.
Yeah just like how Paul Revere made up the story about the Boston massacre to sell papers.
