- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch 2 days ago:
Ungoogled chromium is just brave without all the privacy benefits, mullvad browser is just tor browser without tor, which might be useful in some cases if you are using multiple browsers but I wouldn’t main it , and it has the same problems as librewolf
Yes, librewolf is un-mozillad firefox but it also turns on many privacy features by default. Many sites need exceptions to work properly which takes a little getting used to. After using FF for decades librewolf was an easy switch.

- Comment on What Could Go Wrong? App to help parents find childcare on demand 4 days ago:
I posted this because I’ve read many horror stories about using gig-work apps.
One example is someone in the SF Bay Area that used an to find a verified dog sitter while traveling. All seemed fine until the dog was returned. It was a DIFFERENT dog.
Another example is apps like UBER/LYFT to get a ride. I now hear ads on the radio from lawyers looking to represent those that have been harassed, molested, or raped.
I would trust my child with any

Exactly. IT folks know most large legacy businesses run on legacy code. The businesses do change the old code due to the risks.
I believe Elon thinks his team can do it. I believe he is wrong.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 1 month ago:
After Firefox changed its TOS a lot of people (including me) have jumped to LibreWolf. It takes FF, removes any parts that phone home, and turns on many privacy options.
It takes a little tweaking to make all websites work correctly. I have it running almost perfectly on windoze. I tried installing on Ubuntu last night but my Linux newbie status held me back.

I’d like to add depression and anxiety to fixing ADHD as an individual can exhibit all three.
This can be split into several patches if necessary.

This has been going on for years.
People used to find an almost dead crypto-coin, buy up as many coins as possible, and then pretend they were developing back from the dead. Then they would cash out.
- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 5 months ago:
My CPU is not supported. I don’t need faster hardware, my computer is able to do everything I need it to right now.
I do not want to buy more hardware just to support an incremental OS update.
I’m dual booting now.

- Comment on California's richest cities were told to build housing—but made it a crime to be homeless instead 6 months ago:
SF says the people they are doing this to have not accepted the city’s very limited options for housing.
There was recent article (help me find it) detailing there are over over 200 SF non-profits focused on housing funded by less than 10 govt agencies.

I live in Oakland an moderate (post) to the Oakland community.
I don’t recall all the details right now but… I think they tell all the people leave and then throw everything left in the trash.

Currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area and see this happening in several cities. San Francisco is the largest example. They have made building new housing a nightmare of red tape yet they are going full steam ahead with clearing out the homeless people.
