Do not use any Chromium based browser. Full stop.

  • If you are on Mac, I recommend Orion (Webkit based, but Mac only ATM).
  • For every other platform, including Linux, Firefox.

Honestly, Google has gotten so aggressively evil I'd strongly recommend cutting yourself off from all their products entirely. Consider Kagi instead of Google search and Proton instead of GMail. Other offerings also have alternatives that won't spy on you, steal your information, or treat you like both a criminal and a product instead of a customer.

We need to forcefully reform the US political system... doing everything in our power to bust the current party system. There should never be a scenario where one party controls anything even remotely resembling power.

The first step is national RCV on all matters. Until we can get that, there is no other peaceful path forward.

Edit: The second step is aggressive campaign finance reform. The third is limiting all representative groups to day-to-day operations only, while guaranteeing that all legislative matters anywhere in the country are vetted ONLY by a public vote.

Yes, Bernie, we know. We will because we have no other choice. Because of how absolutely broken and corrupt our entire political system is, we can vote for a ideologically repugnant lame-duck conservative or a literal fascist.

No matter how much we hate Biden and the DNC's corrupt, self-serving conservatism, we still have two brain cells to rub together and do, in fact, understand that "both sides" are most definitely NOT the same.

Orion is by the developers of Kagi (a paid search engine that is actually as good, if not better, than Google) and has ad-blocking and anti-tracking built in natively. It's awesome.

They would have to be able to hold a conversation. Octopi are much, much smarter than cows, I will still happily eat them... though I feel a little guilty about that. Cows, though? No guilt.

That said, there is much tastier red meat to be had, if only we diversified our livestock. Kangaroo and Ostrich, in particular. And both of those animals are cold-blooded killers who deserve to be eaten.

I wouldn't count those eggs just yet.

And even if we get a smidge of justice for Trump's crimes, the government is still full of openly corrupt right-wingers at every level that will never, ever be held accountable for their crimes and abuses.

The only others I know of are Mac-only: Safari and Orion.

Orion is great. I wish there was a Linux version.

Oh they are. It’s just that when they say that, they mean government should be composed entirely of a small clique of their own choosing.

You know, fascism.

There are rumors that Prigozhin ordered them to move on Moscow in the event of his untimely death.

I'd take that with a heaping pinch of salt, though... and even if true, it doesn't mean they'll comply.

I hope these are used against them in court. Something tells me that complete lack of respect for the charges and lack of remorse for the crimes is not going to go over well with a jury.

They’re advertising that this has support for 120fps, ultrawide resolutions, and RTX. I am feeling cautiously optimistic that From Software actually nailed the PC support this time.

Now if only they could backport those features to Elden Ring!
