Thank you all for your help and suggestions, friends. I finally bought the laptop I mentioned last: Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 R5 7235HS 24GB DDR5 RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 512GB M.2 SSD 15.6" FHD 144Hz G-SYNC FreeDos Gaming Notebook

I hope I will be happy with this laptop. I am currently preparing an ubuntu usb. I hope there won't be any problems with the installation and I can get the laptop thing done. 😃

The Firefox said it is the safest browser.

@Catweazle Yes, you're right. Actually, that was more a rhetoric question ☺️... I only meant to show one of the issues I have with Ubuntu. But, as I said, I found some solutions. Anyway, anything but Windows!

@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».

Still to be realized - as so frequently happened other bills and emergency expenses took priority. I'll get there eventually, as with the migration..... Watch this space! 😄

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).

@DoctorG said in YouTube Ad Blocker:

And a YT paid premium account is not guaranteed to be free from ads now and in future.

Yes, as i said here that Premium does not protect agains ads, and now ads "sponsored" whatever-else pollutes YT Premium users more and more: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1g8kv31/am_i_seeing_ads_even_with_premium_now/

Premium subscription means really: You get our premium content, not a premium filter! We can do this.

Oh yes, i guess Google says: Sorry, was not intended. Only a experiment by our volunteer. 🤷♀

I say: Youtube. Use them or sue them!
