Nothing but end-times news these past couple of weeks.

This kind of thing reminds me of historians who say peace is an exception in human history.

Objecting to alienation is lèse majesté, serfs! Labor for the labor god.

Lovely bokeh!

I will give this a shot!

SO many corporate/govt websites do this. My health insurance and credit card company do it. It’s mind boggling. I always keep some variation of Chromium installed to deal with it and then go back to LibreWolf.

Glenn, yes. Snowden I don’t think so. My impression of him is that he wants to unite everyone against surveillance, and doesn’t want other issues to get in the way of his messaging/work about that. I could be wrong.

Strongly second this.

There’s been suspicions for a while that you can’t actually unGoogle Chromium no matter how hard you try.

I really enjoy Vivaldi but I came to the conclusion that the only thing that really matters to me is vertical tabs.

LibreWolf is my daily driver now.

I really don’t know if you could.

Having seen OpenAI’s trajectory of becoming a for-profit and not being “Open” in any serious sense of the word, I genuinely think market forces can absolutely pry open any chest they perceive as containing gold.

My personal conclusion is that you genuinely have to deal with human beings. Take federation for instance: we can try to decentralize these things and make an incredibly solid system, but we still depend on people coming to the realization that this is a good idea and adopting it for their personal/professional internet use.

Now I’m wondering if there such a thing as a decentralized private company? I can’t think of anything beyond having subsidiaries in different countries, but that still requires a parent or at least a main point of contact in the form of the owner. So we’re back to humans.

Definitely give it a shot! If you’ve been gaming for a long time, you might not mind it.
