The bikes would still be shipped from india because it's cheaper. So the OPs question stays the same. Would you be willing to buy a bike that's 3 times the price because it's been built locally. Statistics show that most people wouldn't. So no, most people wouldn't change their lifestyle to combat climate change. Should they? Obviously, since living a modest life is better than burning alive or drowning. Although in all fairness, people might be more willing to spend money to combat climate change if corpocrats wouldn't be gobbling up every bit of wealth like fucking ghouls.

I've seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they're putting in the bottom line.

I'm not okay with people lying, why would that be different for AI?

I'm convinced it's an economic issue. The oligarchs are canibalizing society as we know it and it's reaching an inevitable tipping point. And the story line that always tracks in a situation of economic unrest, is that brown people are fucking stuff up.

I find this site useful to compare messengers. I would trust Wire a tad more because it's hosted in a country with stronger GDPR regulation, vs Signal being hosted in the US.

For my needs, XMPP with Omemo has been unbeatable for a long time

The little separator bars on the conveyor belts thingies at the cashier in a super market should always be placed for the person behind you. If the bozo in front of me wants to pay for my shit he can go right ahead.

Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced "Gah-nome", or Latex "Latech". Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way

Passkeys are a great option for people that don't wanna deal with managing their passwords and have some else do it for them. That's not everyone though, some prefer staying in control, so it should always stay optional.

In the mean time UK and Germany have agreed to send more torpedoes so that Israel can protect its naval borders from further incursions

Meanwhile the US has approved 3.5 Billion "aid" to a genocidal apartheid dictatorship

No suprise there. Germany is the second biggest arms supplier to Israel after the US. Fuck free speech, no one likes to hear they're complicit to a genocide.

Not only that. There are whole countries participating in that disgusting shit. UK and US stayed absent from the Nagasaki memorial event because Japan had the good sense of not inviting an apartheid dictatorship.
