If you're serious about security, go for OpenBSD or FreeBSD (in case your hardware isn't supported in OpenBSD). bsd kernel is far superior wrt security.

Time is a concept which comprises of events. Things don't happen on their own and cash is of course the thing lacking but "support" is the wrong word here. Free software should earn cash!

Here in India, each and everything is packaged in plastic. It's a huge shame! There are many things which don't need to be even packaged but still they'll be packaged in plastic.

Plastic's manufacturing price is immensely low. Also, "recyclable" plastic is seen as eco-friendly which is not. "Recycled" plastic is eco-friendly today.

There's a huge need to disallow all new plastic, and have immense R&D on recycled materials and force public back to using reusable instead of use and throw things.

According to current practices, it isn't unethical. However according to the standards of Scientific journalism, it is just a statement given by 3 people and is a poor source.

I prefer scientific journalism. I need some proper document or some video. I don't trust Aftab Ahmed, Manoj Kumar and Krishna Das. As far as I know, India already has bought cheap oil when last oil prices went down in covid. India bought futures then. Also, Mukesh Ambani, an Indian investor has quite some stake in Aramco. Ofc, it can be but not over words of some people whose job is to print such stories. I prefer being uncertain.

Poor source.

They certainly can. However, solar panels are best used where sunlight is ample. Since a car goes through shady areas too, it's efficiency isn't much. It is way less compared to what power a car needs. Solar power plants have perpendicular sunlight for most amount of time and also reflectors (mirrors) are used to increase the amount of light that falls on those solar cells. Also, they'd be incredibly inefficient in polar regions. In equatorial regions, if they're cheap, installing on rooftop of a car can be thought about if their weight is lesser or comparable than the metal on top of car. If their weight is more than that of normal metal, more petrol will be used which would be worse.

That's a very difficult technical question. You should ask someone who conducts research wrt solar energy. The key metrics there should be energy density of material, it's toxicity, it's repairability, it's lifetime which would decide it's pricing, and the loss of energy per unit time.

 

We increasingly find that having the first minimum number of users who interact amongst themselves is extremely important for a system to survive.

I want to create this unique community of critical mass. In this community, the users would essentially be notified about new platforms, which are better than current platforms where we ask you to create an account and generate some basic content.

This would enable that platform and essentially replace the other non-ethical platform. The newer platform may not be ideal and might have flaws but it would definitely be better than the older prevalent technology in many respects.

We invite you, my dear friends, to this new community. You, would be the reason for change of some crucial aspects of society by mere participation!

 

In light of partial issues like global warming, whale population decline, difficulty of polar bear survivals, we miss on the overall issue of balance of humankind and it's environment.

I've written this article to highlight how I think of this problem and steps to resolve it.

Comments are welcome.

Checkout my article on how free software is still a step away from providing security for it's users.

Let me know your thoughts.
