Big Tech is getting more and more involved in politics. During the last US election, Crypto bros spent more than $100 million on the election, which got some of them out of jail. Now Big Tech is active again, this time with focus on AI, as reported in this Washington Post article.

I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being […]

You understand that Big Tech is getting too powerful when they try to undermine governments that regulate them.
Elon Musk has been pushing for countries to leave the EU due to regulation and associated fines. Meta has been behaving in a similar way.

It seems like most every other browser is all in on AI. We have chosen a different path at @Vivaldi
If you would prefer AI not to be integrated into your browser, but still like a feature rich browser, I welcome you to try Vivaldi.

Norway is rather unique when it comes to sales of EVs. Last month the % of EVs was 97.6%. This is something to be proud of. Sadly Tesla is 31.2%, which is rather embarrassing.
There is a lot of good choices when it comes to EVs. Make the right choice.

What is unique here is that you can take most any search and just long click in the search field and add it […]
