Why the need for an extension in the browser? One can add max date to any search engine search terms and limit the results too.
Because it’s not an extension or a tech tool. It’s an art project, in the form of an extension. The purpose is not the tool, but the message.
The reductions will largely hit product development, internal operations, and customer support,
So HP is geared towards buggy products and shit customer support.
Booking is a nice search engine. Once you found the hotel, go to its own website using name and address as search terms, then book from there for cheaper.
Being French, I am not knowledgeable enough beyond Europe 😁.
For context, Germany recently did a last minute blockage of a European move towards mass surveillance of messaging (called chat control), and a v2 is already being prepared for another attack on privacy at European level.
We are living in interesting times.
All secured OSes and messaging systems are threatened by European governments / EU institutions at the moment, and the French government has been doing so for a few years.
This is not a grapheneOS only issue and it is not new.
Having a secure phone / secure messaging has been seen as suspicious by the police in france for several years now.
This has already been used against eco activists to detain them preemptively and a few times to increase charges towards terrorism / organized crime when possible.
From France: news outlets began parroting government stating GrapheneOS is used by narcos.
GrapheneOS reacted strongly.
However, France is on a very shitty auth-right trend (including arresting Telegram founder) so the reaction is very understandable.
French billionaires are actively promoting fascism, headed by Bolloré who owns a TV station similar to foxnews and has a neo Nazi body guard on his private island.
French police is killing more people every year, with little to no consequence. French protests have changed from family walks to full riots as police attacks peaceful protests (a recent leak shows amongst other things a riot-cop telling his officer during what can only be described as a battle that protesters have children amongst them, officer replies that it’s what you choose when protesting).
It’s not about tech, it’s about control of the masses so they don’t rebel.
There is a case in the Acts of the Apostles where two people lie to the Church, and pretend to donate all of the proceeds from selling their land to the Church and drop dead. This wasn’t because they didn’t give it all, it’s because they publicly gave in front of many others as a show of holiness.
Nope. Acts 5 follows acts 4 (the “But” makes it clear), and acts 4 is all about giving up your riches to live in a commune.
That’s also supported by the teaching that rich people won’t go to heaven (unless you can pass a camel through a needle hole) and James.
Acts 4 along mark 10 are pretty clear that Christians are supposed to give it all and live in a community where “as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.”
This is also supported by the teachings that literally states rich people won’t go to heaven (unless they give it away).
So Jesus and early christians were all about living in a commune.
Now, most modern churches come from a roman imperial implementation of an uprising religion at a time where different temple within polytheism were associated with concurring political factions leading to unstability. Christianity was authorized, then chosen as a state religion and accordingly structured. Things branched out from there, becoming a central part of international politics throughout the middle ages, then different flavors of christianity raising from protestanism (which remain globally a minority compared to catholiscism), but they are all structured towards their own goals rather than Jesus’s teachings.
