Zen browser is fantastic IMO. Zen is built on Firefox with lots of nice tweaks and changes to make it feel innovative.
- Comment on The real (economic) AI apocalypse is nigh 1 week ago:
I feel for the kid asking him what can we do. One of the books I read from Doctorow, How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism, I wanted an answer on what we can actually do. And there’s nothing I can do about it.
These problems can only be answered at the governmental level and the US Gov is bought and paid for by these monopolists. The whole book was things that us IT nerds have known and warned about for decades.
Same with Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. We all knew from the outside that these were corrupt companies and her book reads like a horror for anyone that understands digital privacy rights.
I had to stop reading both of those books. While I’m interested in the topics, the books really need to be in the hands of those people that can do something. But we know they won’t read them anyway.
The only hope I have is that were in the center of the storm and we all come out on the other side wiser and correct course if not, then the shit we’re going through now is about to look like “the good times” and that’s terrifying.

- Comment on Facebook data reveal the devastating real-world harms caused by the spread of misinformation 1 week ago:
That’s misinformation! You think one of the richest men in the world doesn’t are about truth? Trump wasn’t friends with Epstein despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Go check Facebook! It’ll tell you the truth!
- Comment on It's not that complicated, guys. 1 week ago:
Where do you think bird flu comes from? When those birds go cuckoo for CoCo puffs they start sneezing and then bird flu.
- Comment on Mutilated multiverse of madness 1 week ago:
Nintendo owns a Trademark and Copyright on their name. We’re no longer allowed to mention them directly by name or they’ll sue us.

I’m so happy we voted for someone to actually stand by REAL science. Let’s go after that placebo thing next! I hear it’s a menace to society!
- Comment on The Wikipedia page for the fediverse describes a den of iniquity 2 weeks ago:
YUP! Can confirm, den of iniquity over here! Just like the fact I’ve been running Linux for 18 years now, so I’m obviously a hacker and a subversive. We enjoy things here like CHOICE and FREEDOM. You’re all fucking DEVIANTS! And so am I! DEVIANTS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
- Comment on Mastodon has a new plan to make money: Hosting and support services for the open social web 2 weeks ago:
Corporations only want to deal with companies, not ideas or people. I’ve been thinking about it from my experience with red hat. Support and services. I don’t want to host, but I’ll absolutely help others.

- Comment on France slaps Google with €325M fine for violating cookie regulations 4 weeks ago:
Google's projected annual revenue for 2025 is $378 BILLION. So that's 0.1% ... so basically 8 hours. I'm sure Google learned their lesson.
- Comment on US Takes Nearly 10% Stake in Intel, Clinching Unorthodox Deal 1 month ago:
It's more of a statement on how his followers justify these types of things. Not him. I know he's a wanna be dictator.
- Comment on US Takes Nearly 10% Stake in Intel, Clinching Unorthodox Deal 1 month ago:
I'm also not being serious.

- Comment on Cory Doctorow at CF 25: How Enshittification Conquered the 21st Century and How We Can Overthrow It 1 month ago:
YUP! We talked about Cory Doctorow's Deep Crack! Well it's not his, he's just borrowing the deep crack. :-D I'm a child. It's this and it's SUPER cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFF_DES_cracker
- Comment on Cory Doctorow at CF 25: How Enshittification Conquered the 21st Century and How We Can Overthrow It 1 month ago:
Cory Doctorow is fantastic. I spoke with him on Fireside Fedi and he's just brilliant and has seen some amazing tech. We even talked about his deep crack. That and lots of other interviews with Fedi folks for anyone interested: https://video.firesidefedi.live/w/huevh4L6r1yMYXqcQMi8gR

- Comment on Reddit will block the Internet Archive 1 month ago:
No harm in that. To each their own. :-) Everyone gets to decide at least.
- Comment on Reddit will block the Internet Archive 1 month ago:
Good plan. Keep locking down your big tech platforms, and we'll all be over here letting folks know where they can find freedom.
- Comment on new academic book about the fediverse just released!!! 1 month ago:
Actually going to be talking with Robert W. Gehl tomorrow on Fireside Fedi! I just found out about him, a few weeks ago, and he's written extensively on social media. I've unfortunately not been able to acquire any of his books to prepare, but they seem to all be incredibly interestingly titled.

- Comment on What do y'all think of the live streaming platform, Owncast? 1 month ago:
I personally LOVE Owncast. It's how I've met numerous folks and built a community. I use my own for games and tech, https://stream.ozoned.net . I've even done some testing to see how much overhead it needs, https://video.firesidefedi.live/w/1itGRqF41XeTfrismnsesL , and how many opens streams you can have.
I also use Owncast to livestream my Fireside Fedi episodes, https://stream.firesidefedi.live . I even spoke with Gabe Kangas on the show in the past https://video.firesidefedi.live/w/nyM8V7WzVb1f2GehjAdSTX
I've spoken to numerous folks that flat out tell me it can't work. With THOUSANDS of people you'd probably hit bandwidth limitations, but there's S3 buckets and CDNs. Whether they'll let you push livestreams to those for the long term is yet to be seen.
I'm very biases though as I love Owncast, I love controlling MY platform, and I love Fedi. Also I run the unofficial owncast community.

- Comment on HHS Winds Down mRNA Vaccine Development Under BARDA 1 month ago:
US has done it before. Stem cell research has been held back in the US even before it could PROVE that it was effective. Here, mRNA PROVED it worked and we're undoing it. This is worse than ignorance. It's down right maliciously negligent. Once again all because of their beliefs that science is wrong.
