It will be interesting to run this with Lulu installed and see how badly it leaks data.

Yeah, but that’s just it, there is no one thing that fulfils all your needs if you are forced to use a particular tool, but it lacks privacy or freedom or other features.

I use chrome because I have to and also am curious and I need to know about how Google runs its shit. I run Firefox because of various features it has that are good for web development. I run Safari because it is fast and relatively private outside of the Apple ecosystem And has some great developer tools.

The effort of one keyboard twitch to move from one browser to the other is not really any amount of friction for me. It’s easier than switching from one tab to another inside the same browser, so I don’t get your fixation on a single tool.

And as a PS, I won’t touch Brave with a 10 foot pole anymore because of their Fuckery with crypto.

I, too, am forced to use Chrome for parts of my work.

I just run Chrome for that set of tasks. Then quit, or tab to Firefox for regular browsing.

This is SOP when dealing with uglies like google, microsoft, amazon, adobe, or meta: do the toxic thing or software they require, as sandboxed as reasonable, then get back to daily life and more knowable risks.

I think the topic is less about largesse and more about being badass at really, actually literally like totally, super fucking important work.

There are still supply chain issues, or synthetic shortages. So many annoying ‘out of stock’ listings for PS5’s in Canada, and prices are locked at MSRP mostly.

I charge $90(CDN), pay myself around $40. Solo contractor with occasional support staff.

Need to up my rate, it’s a bit low for what I do, even though I’m no genius or expert specialist.

The irony is overbearing: an article about the fog of war, in a publication whose slogan is “Fighting Israel’s media war.”

They tell you right in the header that it is propaganda.

Hmmm, what would Krishnamurti do?

Realllly not sure how what I wrote was hatred or redditworthy, I must be missing some unwritten code. Maybe it’s a communism vs anarchism thing?

What does it say when you blatantly name your company after the surveillance tool of SAURON, and hardly anyone mentions it?

Believe them when they tell you who they are.

This week’s rental for me:

• hammer chisel, 24h, about $70 canadian.
• E20 excavator, 8h runtime but over the weekend, around $500 with delivery and fuel

Not going to buy those things or pay someone to operate them. It’s a good deal.

It’s worth contemplating how absolutism influences our various cultures. Genocide feeds on it.

Giant springs are fucking scary. Energy is dangerous when you store a lot in one place.

“Specific hatred” does not equal “don’t like”.

People are so touchy about being judged, so ready to be insulted. It all works in favour of the authoritarians.

Sure, we need to talk out the terms and agree on things, but that only works when people have open minds and critical thinking. In the meantime the epic struggle is between those who work, and those who own.

All the quibbles about left and right, about borders and morality, about identity, is distraction from solving the problems of fundamental disparity.

Basically, living in a kleptocracy sucks. Owners vs workers, authoritarians vs egalitarians: these are the real battles.

On mobile, site popped up an overlay of a standard tech support scam, “your phone is infected” etc.

That kind of crap is a common drive-by malware vector.

Nice story but site is a drive-by malware risk.
