This means no coffee, no cooking, no computer, and an even colder shower tomorrow morning. Swell. The sky had damn well better clear up so I'll have something to do after sunset & it gets too dark to read or write.

pretty remarkable to see Coinbase making the argument that crypto is not like stocks, it's like baseball cards, American Girl dolls, or Beanie Babies

it's the future of finance! except when the SEC comes knocking, then it's just a harmless little toy, your honor

HOW TO SURVIVE THE HEATWAVE:
1. Stay hydrated.
2. Have an ice cream cone.
3. Dismantle the fossil fuel industry which is literally burning the planet for the short term profit of a vanishingly small capitalist class.
4. Wear loose clothing.

reminder for everyone who may have missed it the last few times

the only reason that brave browser exists is because its ceo was kicked from mozilla for being a homophobe & transphobe

by contuing to use that software you are activity supporting and promoting a company that not only hates lgbtqia+ people but was born out of that bigotry

brave browser is also filled with many not very cool things everything from cryptocurrency scams to link redirection to so much more

there are tones of other chromium , webkit , or firefox based browsers that do can do most everything that brave browser can do or more in terms of "privacy" and just as much or more on terms of useability

please i urge anyone who cares enough about these things to have installed brave in the first place to migrate form brave to something better

heres some good alternatives to try

firefox , chromium , librewolf , ungoogled-chromium , gnone web, kde falkon , qutebrowser , tor browser, thats just a few tho id mostly suggest one of either ff, ch, lw, unch

The most recognizable brand in short-form social media posting is really transforming itself into the Brand X you see in soap opera commercials. Amazing.

Let me tell you the secret of the "Everything App".

It's real, it's not called X, and it's about 33 years old. It's called a Web Browser.

Despite a decade of walled gardens trying hard to ruin it, you can still do pretty much any task you need on the web.

You can even make websites into apps with Progressive Web Apps (two clicks on WordPress).

The everything app is old, and under siege daily. But it works, it's resilient, and it's magical.

"With a software death date baked into each model, older versions of these inexpensive computers are set to expire three to six years after their release. Despite having fully functioning hardware, an expired Chromebook will no longer receive the software updates it needs, blocking basic websites and applications from use…

Dear search engines:

If you run out of relevant results to show me, then just tell me I've reached the end so I can either choose better search terms or make a decision with what there is.

Stop trying to stretch your list with an endless stream of absurdly irrelevant results. All it does is waste my time, waste your resources, & make me conclude *you're* irrelevant.

I finally tripped & fell into the bot-produced churn content on YouTube. (I'm looking at reviews of an obscure cash register.) Reviewbot: "The built-in South Dakota card slot allows a PC link software to synchronize your store." They really don't care as long as their TTS conversion sounds like words.

South Dakota card slot.

Thank goodness I use Noscript & block DoubleClick, so the ads don't run or load.
