It is interesting how much value they can extract with Facebook Marketplace as competitors.

I like the technical conservatism of their site though.

Dunno what money is supposed to do.

Use Debian to remove all the publicly aknowledged backdoors in OSX and Windows.

Don't answer unknown numbers on the phone.

Don't use Goggle search (phishing sites in search results).

That is like 99.99% right there.

Preferably the telephone provider could have some sort of 'firewall' you could enable such that your phone can't be called by a number you haven't called first or whitelisted in some other way.

What to use instead of Google?

Well I thought of this as 'suitable for my parents' advice, so I guess the answer is, don't use search. Way too many scam and semi-scam sites. Go with word of mouth instead.

Oh and obviously people need ad blockers. Many scam baits in those.

This should be applauded more loudly

That’s nice of this 71yo gentleman to give 3% of his net worth to a good cause. I wonder why he didn’t choose 6%, though. Perhaps just being cautious in case the price of bread spikes.

More probably supply related. I worked at an incubator once upon a time, there was no dearth of funds to pull in from rich donors and investors. The issue was always finding quality teams and people. We ended up funding lot of poor quality output. But its all par for the course in how progress works. Keep planting seeds all over and hope for the best.
