I thought it was more about privacy protection and dislike of apple. Do the Chinese gadgets respect privacy?

I don't think there's an issue. But having a clear and fair criteria for who counts as a developer is probably important.

The opposite! You soak the bear and it slowly releases moisture to keep brown sugar from crystalizing together.

People can dog on this but it is a fine question. You just shouldn't jump to weird ideas when you don't understand something.

How Green is the Greenback? An Analysis of the Environmental Costs of Cash in the United States - Digital Planet Value storage has costs: US cash notes at $0.26 each vs. Bitcoin's $70 per coin CO2. Despite Bitcoin's higher cost, cash notes' total impact ($12.9B USD) far exceeds Bitcoin's ($1.3B USD).

Bitcoin in 2021 cost 3x more CO2 per dollar value. It also becomes exponentially more resource intensive to mine over time.

The grasshoppers in A bugs life were not to scale and were way too small. Don't even get me started on the other bugs.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernieโ€™s career (and obviously, mine too).

U.S. Media Once Again Fails To Cover The Corrupt Net Neutrality Ruling With Any Clarity Last week a corrupt court system bought and paid for by corporations effectively made it illegal for the federal government to protect broadband consumers from widely despised regional telecom monoโ€ฆ

I wrote a little bit about how the U.S. press continues to fail utterly to describe the fight over net neutrality (really a fight over whether federal consumer protection should exist AT ALL) with any sort of urgency or accuracy:
