First they came for my mansplaining and I said nothing…

Having been a firefox user for a few years now, Screw Mozilla. What a mismanaged shit-show they’ve become.

I get that browser development costs a ton, and that they’re in a shitty position. But to make this ode to stockholm syndrome blog post… what on EARTH?

Best case, Chrome gets split off into a separate organization free of meddling and they can fund themselves with reasonable donations / investments. In reality, I’m sure Google and other advertising companies will try to get into it and buy the behavior they want, like special-interest groups in US politics.

But if Chrome ended up under any organization with reasonable management who wasn’t completely beholden to advertisers, I’d switch back to Chrome pretty quickly (assuming the whole Manifest V2/V3 thing got un-fucked).

It’s desktop-only right now and feels like for the foreseeable future. Firefox sync works between Zen and Firefox so you can just run Firefox or one of the Android-specific versions of Firefox that support the generic/vanilla firefox sync.

Fancy firefox-based browser along the lines of Arc?

Worth a look if you’re a web power-user / developer sort of person

Yeah. Zen is a bit newer and I’d say not quite as slick an experience yet, but it has come a long way in the last couple months and is getting very good

Firefox-based https://zen-browser.app/ if you want to get fancy

Or the world blows up and it’s all over. I guess what I’m saying is, no downside, fire it up and let’s see what happens.

Also, reporting that Trump Tower (either) should be renamed Mexico Tower feels pretty good.

You understand, he… does not

Yeah yeah yeah… yeah

no fact checking and a ton of bots being added? Sounds like a fantastic place to spend time. /s

I have some Zooz relays and can also recommend. There are also two options, you can either get the zooz switches which replace your current switches ( https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/collections/light-switches/products/zooz-800-series-z-wave-long-range-wall-remote-zen37-800lr-battery-powered?variant=40387548938303 ) or the relays ( https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/collections/z-wave-relays/products/zooz-700-series-z-wave-plus-dry-contact-relay-zen51 ) that you install in the box behind your existing switches.

Our house has some fancy switches downstairs so I went with the relays for the few switches I wanted to automate. One thing to note, it’s not always easy to fit the relays in the box, if there’s a lot of spare wires in the box, it can be sort of cramped.

Ollama and openwebui for a nice web interface.

I’ve been tempted to ditch my current password manager and move to bitwarden. I think this is the final push I needed.
