The fact that the majority of computer users have only 2 real options for browsers, Chrome and Firefox, and neither of them now takes a stand against selling user data, is the biggest selling point on us needing new options.
Google should have never been allowed to have as much browser share as it does.
Firefox should hear from every user that one of the main reasons we use their browser is they didn't sell our data.
And we need to support other browser makers. This needs to end.

This #FursuitFriday as I'm ill. Harks back to when I was ill at Scotia, but wanted to go suit for the group photo.
So Toothless Kigu was deployed. As was Tootless plushie.
Only annoyance, I didn't have my badge by @blue with me to set it off perfectly!
Well, I've completed watching Disenchantment. Really really good โ I need to watch it again. (And I'm not just saying that because of Jasper.)

YES
"Fondly?"

#NetZero economy booming in the UKโฆ
โThe net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy, analysis has found, providing high-wage jobs across the country while cutting climate-heating emissions and increasing energy securityโ
#Tories and #Reform proved wrong again. But will any of this be reported in the rightwing rags and on GBeebies?
Green sector growing at triple the rate of the UK economy, providing high-wage jobs and increasing energy securityDamian Carrington (The Guardian)
There is currently a ceiling on #NetZero growthโฆLabour understands it needs to upgrade the national grid, to ensure that new renewables can be plugged in, but also so it can cope with more homes and businesses running on electricity for warmth (heat pumps) and transport (EVs).
But what they donโt get is the scale of the skills shortage. We need to train and upskill people in every part of the country to work on renewables & retrofit.
It is disparaging, but Rachel Reeves has been very economical with the truth about her CV. I donโt like the phrase, but before we dismiss it, itโs worth looking at who was referring to her in this way and whyโฆ

Rachel Reeves suffers with the nickname โRachel from Accountsโ. Only it looks like her own accounting has not been that good, and nor is her CV all she claims it to be.Funding the Future
Up until the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, I regularly attended large scale non-violent climate protests and witnessed other groups protesting on the streets of Norwich.
Those protests have dwindled to a trickle of mostly elderly people brave enough to walk out into the city silently holding a handmade placard.
This is not democracy.
The PM and his ministers are supporting illiberal laws that hard-right authoritarians could apply with zeal, says Guardian columnist George MonbiotGeorge Monbiot (The Guardian)
The anti-protest laws were funded by the fossil fuel industry 's #AtlasNetwork .
It's fossil fuel funded fascism...

The industry makes $3 billion a day in profit. It can afford to buy any legislation it wants from the corrupt.
It's time to save the planet & democracy, accelerate the switch to renewables & defund fascism.
Crackdowns on climate activists have increased alarmingly over the last decade, with Australia and the UK arresting protestors three times more than the global average.As climate protests become more frequent amid a lack of action by world leaders, aAnay Mridul (Green Queen)
"What gadgets do you have for me, Q?"
"Here, you'll like this."
Bond examined the device. "It looks like an Amazon Dash Button."
"An AI-powered Dash Button. It will analyse what you need most, and deliver by drone."
Bond pressed it. A moment later, a drone put a resignation letter in his hand.
when I first started reading this, I thought of John de Lancie as Q from Star Trek TNG. Instead of a drone, a white flash brings forth the resignation letter.
Now Iโm thinking how cool it would be for him to play Q in a 007 movie.

Ignoring women when they donโt consent to having sex with you is where it starts.
Then making women carry to term pregnancies that are the result of rape is where it leadsโฆ
Before you know it they are blaming whole nations for being attacked by their larger, dominating neighbourโฆand claiming they are at fault for not doing โa dealโ with the barbarians.
Along the way theyโll state to family members with disabled children that they should have been put down at birth.
They will tip the playing field to reverse all progress made for minority groupsโฆto ensure a smooth path for the white male ultra rich elite.
They believe everything has a price - it can be bought.
And if a person canโt be bought, they are โnastyโ and will be painted as the villain of the piece.
Gerhard Kretschmar was the first handicapped child to be killed by the Hitler regime, on the request of the father, Richard Kretschmar. This act grew into the T4 program which through trial and error created the methodology used in Nazi death camps.
