I think the solution is 42

In my study time it was the only which exists, still no electronic or computers , only in big companies, which worked with punch cards.

In Spain too, it’s also needed in vocational training (FP1, FP2) for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, etc., because it involves necessary calculations in their work, such as trigonometry, spheronometry, vector forces, flow calculations, among others. For office workers, naturally, percentage calculations are not overcome, but even there second degree equations can arise.

In my testament I’ll share my GOG account data and password in all social networks and Wikipedia with a hand with extended middle finger out of the grave.

In my young years the computers still worked with this and Pong was a sensation.

Don’t misunderstand me, it’s always the corresponding gov and it’s supporters, never the country and their people as such. It’s the US goverment which sponsor and cause dictatorships, genocids and wars, it’s the goverment of Israel which crete and sponsor Hamas to justify it’s genocide since more than 50 years in Gaza, it’s the global capitalism with the greed of a minority the cause of the degeneration and collaps of the society, spreading ignorace and fanatism with the help of manipulative media and religion since centuries.

It isn`t enough to speak and critzise the gov when later only exist the posibility to vote between the bad and the worse, or no vote, because in policy the silent majory don’t exist.

Typical American politics, throwing the stone and hiding their hand after, the bad guys are always the others. Like the famous missile crisis in Cuba, 1962, which almost put us in a nuclear war, which by the way was avoided by the Russians at the last moment, while the USA already had its finger on the red button, to launch the own nuclear missiles, stationed in Turkey and Italy since 1959, pointing to Mosow, and no one talks about, because the bad guys are the Russians. US foreign policy has caused most dictatorships and wars today, for oil and for MAGA.

I remember the September 11 and more than 3000 killed people…in 1973, when the CIA organized the end of an democratic elected president to put an bloody dictator in Chile, Pinochet.

The Vivaldi team is working hard to gut the Google spyware in Chromium on every update. Because of this only security patches are in realtime, all other updates are 1-2 weeks behind. The rest remains as user choice in the settings (save browsing, Chrome Store (without Vivaldi isn’t even recognized as Chromium), G DNS and little else). Therefore, Vivaldi can be seen a hard fork. No data sended to Google, nor other third party companies (excepting naturally extensions and search engines you use, they can be not so private in any browser, Mullvad also recommend to use less extensions possibles).

UI in Vivaldi is unique, you can set it to simple as an old IE or to an dashboard of an Spaceshuttle and everything in between in the settings and more with CSS. Also using of more than 4000 themes, or made and share your own. You can install Chrome extensions, but most are redundant because of the own inbuild ones, or even install directly userscripts as extensions.

It’s clear, slower is relative. FF is slower in the startup and rendering some heavy loading webs, but the difference certainly isn’t sooo dramatic. It’s not a reason to avoid it, the only reason depends of the use of a browser, if it fits your needs or not.

Captchas today are completely obsolete to avoid bots, more now with AI, since years and are just simple click ads from different companies since no one clicks on banner ads anymore. A simple Honeypot system or, as they do in some forums, waiting half an hour before sending the email with the account code, are much more efficient to avoid bots, without pissing off the user.
