  • Where to start? Vivaldi is not proprietary, it’s Chromium based. It’s made in Europe which is a sell for me as a European. It uses a lot of the good stuff Opera used to have as a mobile browser way before smartphones. It can sync with your desktop so any tabs you have open on your phone you can instantly view on your desktop. The password manager is really good. It has a lot of customization options so you can have it look exactly the way you want. Despite all this it’s still quick, one of the fastest browsers out there. The built-in adblocker is about as good as Brave’s. You can install desktop extensions on the Android version. It has built-in mail and calendar clients. It’s free.


  • This is deliberate of course. Lots of people out there who want to make it big with their music and there will be musicians in there that are actually really good but never really got a chance. Either they’re not gonna care about the political statement over this huge chance or they are interested in making a different statement in the first place.

    You gotta wonder if those concert halls are going to be full though. And I also wonder what it’ll do to the musical quality of the tour.







  • It’s actually something that has been done pretty much by anyone in power in the past who was trying to consolidate their position without actually giving the people what they want.

    Hitler’s regime started by rounding up scientists and scholars purely to make sure nobody got any ideas that were detrimental to his power.

    It’s just sad that the voters for (extremist) right people don’t see that the endgame is just for a select group, not for all, and they see themselves as part of that select group whilst they’re actually part of the other.

    So MAGA folk think they’re part of that elite group that will benefit from right wing dismantling of social programs and not part of poor immigrants whilst they’re actually economically closer to those poor immigrants. Not just America, though, Germany is going in that direction as well right now and in Europe more and more of these voices are being heard.
