#1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superprotect
> "Superprotect" was the name for a superuser tool granted to Wikimedia Foundation staff but denied to all Wikimedia community members starting in August 2014.[92][circular reference] Wikimedia Foundation staff used the tool to force the installation of the Wikimedia Foundation's software against the wishes of the Wikimedia community. This conflict was unprecedented. Erik Möller, then director of the Wikimedia Foundation, managed the Superprotect tool. The software in dispute was MediaViewer, which was a software feature that guided Wikipedia readers into viewing images in a certain way. Wikimedia commentator Andrew Lih described the superprotect feature as "Orwellian-sounding".

A basic indoor water fountain captures quite a lot of indoor pollution, to the point that it's likely far more energy and cost efficient than pumping air through a disposable filter. There's plenty of research on this.
The first chapter of the whitepaper? [1] There's two sides entering a contractual agreement around energy consumption.

Here is the Chinese high speed rail built in the last decade, it is not propaganda, it's literally something you can buy a ticket for and travel on at 350 km/h right now. I truly worry for Americans incapable of seeing what is happening in the rest of the world.

Do you truly need deaths as they happen by the minute?
Plot-twist: They don't want awareness because western cyber capabilities are far and beyond the best the in the world. We hack ourselves and each other constantly. Most are aware of China/NK/Russia/Iran actors doing X action. You'll have a rough time finding anyone in the five eyes with common knowledge of their offensive capabilites. Perhaps Stuxnet but by all accounts that was all due gungho Israeli's going full-tilt rather than US allies.
I'm not sure about what offline alternatives exist.
I collect them like Pokemon. It's been nearly a decade now and there's certainly many to look back on.
From experience people either double down or feign ignorance years later, which path will this one take?
For the less fortunate, if you don't own a single spark source to light a gas fire in your house it's highly likely you have far greater immediate survival issues to face.
