Always keep in mind that Tor makes you uniquely identifiable if you are the only one using it on a particular website.
Once they told me that the biggest difference between good investors and bad investors is the amount of capital they can move. Good investors have large capitals that can absorb market drops and then rise again. Bad investors are wiped out by small fluctuations. In other words, what works for who drives large funds will hardly work as well for the average bloke. Keep it in mind whatever you read.
Assuming that you wouldn’t ask here if you had large capitals, I recommend you to keep it simple and invest in funds with low commissions (like ETFs) tracking something like companies with very solid brands that will never go out of business (like Coca Cola). With 4/5 points of return above the inflation over 10/20 years you’ll have good results.
If you feel lucky, put 5-10% in something high risk high reward and be prepared to lose half of it. Read whatever you find to understand the jargon (e.g. what’s a “synthetic” ETF) and you should be fine with those simple tools. Don’t forget to study the fiscal aspects, especially in regards of dividends and capital gain: often there are two version of the same fund, but one is more “fiscally efficient”. Last advice: keep aside cash for emergencies because you don’t want to sell your positions in the middle of a crisis.
I’m not a fan and sometimes they are full of BS, but you can check forums on FIRA (for early retirement).
I don’t think that controversy about Trump is concerning in any way. The AI could be interesting instead.
To my knowledge Proton doesn’t sell your data and there were no leaks in the past. It is also true for a lot of its competitors though.
Note: I use Proton for some things.

See Grok that bounces from “woke” results to “full nazi” without hitting the mid point desired by Musk.
More because of US regression (note: it was a joke)
I do not believe that LLMs will ever be able to replace humans in tasks designed for humans. The reason is that human tasks require tacit knowledge (=job experience) and that stuff is not written down in training material.
However, we will start to have tasks for LLMs pretty soon. It was already observed that LLMs work better on stuff produced by other LLMs.
That’s an interesting point. I always wondered how the transition to green energy would have affected the Middle East, but I never considered that it could reduced the need to limit Israel.
So what’s the endgame here? Clearly Palestinians will not disappear into thin air.
You’re right of course. However, is letting Israel kill some hundreds of civilians every week really an option?
