Windows Terminal/Powershell and Linux shell should never made accessible for regular inexperienced users. And if they login as administrator or root, they are 100% responsible for the disaster they create.

I do not understand what users are learning today about administration of a OS?
Leaning by Copy&Paste from websites on a productive system? Huh! makes me shiver.

@Catweazle
Yeah, I know GodMode for a long time but would never thought about looking into for network reset.
Will check.

EDIT: Cant find anything related to network reset. 😕

@Pathduck
Sorry, it doesn't work with me, to import Safari-Passwords into Vivaldi. On vivaldi://flags it shows nothing (no maching experiments) when I search for «vivaldi://flags/#password-import» or «#password-import» or «password-import».

@TravellinBob The problem with all these alternatives is you'll need to persuade all your contacts to move over. It's easier to do that with the likes of WhatsApp, despite your reservations. I'm on it because it's the easiest for communicating with extended family and friends. But I also use Signal for more private purposes.

There are some cross-messenger solutions out there but they are not free, and I don't know how well they work. Sekur is one I've heard of.

@LonM, well, but these are not investors, they only pay an revenue when the user use these, if not, not. It is not that they are paying Vivaldi by contract to be, yes or yes, included in the browser as default, like Google does in Firefox.
It's not the same dependency, Vivaldi don't sold it's independence, like Mozilla. Partners are not investors, they cannot influence Vivaldi's decisions.

Andi's Writeup about the question, adding all sources for further research

The debate over solar farms on British farmland has intensified since Labour's Ed Miliband became Energy Security Secretary in 2024, approving several controversial large-scale projects[^1][^2].

Key developments:

The government aims to triple UK solar capacity by 2030, from 16.6 gigawatts to 45-47 gigawatts[^3] Currently solar farms occupy 0.1% of UK land, projected to reach 0.3-0.6% under government plans[^3] Major approved projects include the 2,500-acre Sunnica solar farm on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border[^4]

The core tension is between:

Supporters argue:

Solar is now the cheapest form of renewable energy[^5] Farmers can still graze sheep under panels while earning stable income[^6] Even ambitious solar expansion would use less than 1% of agricultural land[^7]

Critics argue:

Prime farmland should be preserved for food security[^8] Local communities lose rural character and views[^9] Large projects bypass local planning control[^10]

Recent policy changes:

Labour government consulting on removing protections for high-grade farmland from planning guidance[^11] Local councils advised to reject solar farms on prime agricultural land if they threaten food security[^12] Government promoting "agrivoltaics" - combining solar with continued farming[^13]

I saw on another platform the CEO's post, but I failed to see how it was a problem. The original tweet/post seemed pro-Bernie Sanders (and anti, what he called "corporate democrats") to me. Did you see that post? People seem all-to-quick to put words in the mouth of anyone saying anything remotely kind toward the Trump administration.

I like FileLu, OneDrive, and Google Cloud, InfiniCloud, Amaryllo, and a few more.

I should also mention https://syncthing.net/ ( https://github.com/syncthing/ )
It is a super simple way to sync your backup between computers (I do this with family members).
