The results are very interesting. For me, the most unique thing about my browser was that I had two system languages, and so the accept-language header was very unique.

I now use vanadium (graphene OS), which simply sends made up values for a lot of headers, and so makes fingerprinting harder.

In general, you should try to be as "normal" as possible, use standard settings for everything, just accept English, etc..

It gets funnier. A millionaire flew two flat earthers to the south pole where they proceeded to live stream the 24 h sun. Its called "the final experiment". Yet one of the flat earthers still said the earth was flat.

But not paying for it almost guarantees it.

No I've never seen this. Usually they send you an email to the admin address of the domain with the code.

Thx!

Can someone explain to me what hexbear is?

Isn't that what the EU border adjustment mechanism is?

I'm using it and never going back.

It's not just the privacy aspect, but the fact that most results in other search engines suck. The first two pages would usually be ads - first the bought ones, then company websites and copywritten blogs. I get that way less with kagi. I find useful stuff faster and my brain is less polluted.

So for those unaware. If followed through this would be the biggest economic crisis worldwide, since the great depression. No hyperbole.

US treasury bonds are the way the US government borrows money. They are most of the debt. They are also the "safe asset". Because it was assumed that the US, being the sole superpower and the biggest economy, would always pay back its debts. Because of this whenever organizations needed to park money super safely, they would use US government bonds.

Around 30 trillion worldwide, that is 1/3 of the world's GDP, is held in US bonds.

You know who the biggest borrowers of US debt are? Pension funds. And you know the biggest one of all of them? Social Security. US social security holds around 3 trillion of US debt. Debt that would suddenly be worth nothing anymore.

In total, around 27 trillion of treasury bonds are held in the US by pension funds, local governments, etc. These would be gone.

Other countries would suddenly lose 3 trillion, biggest of which are Japan, China and the UK. Belgium Luxembourg and Switzerland hold a huge share compared to their economy, and could collapse completely.

But hey, at least the national debt is gone, right?

Well.. No one would borrow the US money anymore. Who would trust them anymore? Likely, this would be the end of the USD as the worlds reserve currency. With that, I doubt military spending could be upheld. The US would collapse as a superpower.

Reminds me a bit of how it was in Germany at the beginning of the Iraq war (2). Plenty of Americans saying we should be bombed back to the stone age for not going to Iraq, while our soldiers were dying in Afghanistan. I remember in all the bulletin boards people would kind of cheer for American losses, hoping secretly or sometimes openly that Iraq would win, and the schoolyard bully would get another bloody nose.

That's the moment large parts of my generation became anti-american.
