Would be better if this had serious suggestions. But to add a serious one, please say something like "content blocker" instead of "adblocker"; you're not freeloading by blocking ads, you're choosing to not connect to unwanted privacy-hostile content with your computer and internet connection, as you should.

AC (air-conditioning) is pretty bad for the environment, it seems pretty short-sighted to suggest it as a way of coping with climate change "let's make sure we're alright by making things worse for everyone else".

I haven't blocked anyone yet, not really a believer in it unless they're personally targeting me. For me it feels like plastering over cracks, I'd rather just leave if there were too many toxic people around.

They're a political group by definition, even if you don't believe the rationale it's their prerogative, if they left former Twitter purely because it didn't align with their values that wouldn't be a contradiction in and of itself because their whole reason for existing is taking a political stand.

They don't have their own instance as far as I know but they're very active on mastodon.social

I don't know who this person is, but doing some research this "wireless festival" is managed by some American entertainment company called "Live Nation Entertainment", so that's typical.

The one person I know who owns one (who is overall happy with it) complains that it's bit bulky for tight manoeuvres and narrow lanes, but it's spacious enough for four adults to travel in reasonable comfort. If that's what "compact" means to you then so be it but If words have any meaning it's a generous mid-size car. Not something you'd buy if you specifically wanted something small.

I wouldn't describe it as "compact", though maybe by US standards?

I use it, I like it, though there is something in the back of my mind about the company that sets off alarm bells that I can't quite put my finger on so I'm cautious. But I don't mind the model of paying for online services in principle. I would say it's about as good as DuckDuckGo was 10 years ago when it was still good (DDG has gone downhill like a lot of things in my opinion), and Kagi is the best search I can find now. I do research for work so I need the unlimited (middle) tier since I use a lot of search, I consider it reasonable value for money. I suggest doing the free trial and see how long it takes to run out before deciding which tier to choose.

I was wondering when the media were going to start rolling out the old antisemitism smears against the Green Party.
