It really is disheartening to see so many technically-inclined people berate the one browser that is preventing Apple/Google hegemony. The expectations set upon Mozilla and Firefox…

Wow, that's a strong claim. There are various counterexamples to this, so I'd say it's definitely not a law of nature. And anyway, nature by nature (lol) is essentially lawless. It…

First off, I think everyone deals with this at some point. I think, also, since you are always changing as a person, what helps you cope at one point of your life might not work as…

https://write.as/cannonalexander/ have been trying to do a writing challenge for this year, it's going ok. I write about whatever interests me, trying to do at least three articles…

Does Chrome really use significantly less resources than Firefox? Are there numbers there?

No. Ableism (not sure why the quotes, comes off as a little sarcastic) is expecting and demeaning individuals--either purposefully or implicitly due to environmental design--for no…

I agree. There are enough substantial features in Firefox that push it over the top for me. For one, scrolling is just so much better than in any Chrome browsers, which I have noti…

Definitely very interesting. I know Google has their “Advanced Protection Program”[0] with a Titan security key which is similar. It is interesting considering that Google’s protec…

Regarding the open source part, Jon has spoken about it on a podcast from last year[0][1]. Basically the only think keeping them from full open-source is the license which they thi…

There is a video [0] I love that explains an argument for this well. The more people you have participating and iterating in a field, and more generally in life, the better that fi…

I prefer tethics lol

Man, I'm right there with you. I'm 26, and feel like none of my friends care about these things. I am quite sensitive when it comes to input like light and sound, and I would love …

Yes! Seconding this request. For my purposes, a range from this level of non-technical to some light Googling would be fine, but it seems like so much of streaming hasn't reached l…

Just curious, what EU brand/brands did you end up going with? I couldn't find anything specific to that on the EWG website.

I'm not quite sure where it came from originally, I've seen it attributed to Feynman for sure. Michael Crichton described it as "Gell-Mann Amnesia" in a talk: https://www.epsilonth…
