    True. They're very much the new Microsoft and Chrome is the new IE. But the general public also doesn't know what it used to be like. I logged in just to up vote you. I wish we had…

    I loathe ads and tracking. I run ublock origin/https everywhere/privacy badger (the latter of those 2 are from the EFF). I run a dedicated pfsense machine (old optiplex 755 with an…

    It's not over yet. I want to say surviving but given the spate of celebrity and personal friend deaths and my own health problems there's not enough wood on Earth to knock.
