  • My old account was banned from reddit a bit over a year ago. I don’t remember what I said that caused it, but it was anti-Musk.

    I used to contribute a ton to that site, but after the ban I didn’t bother making a new account. I just leeched the site using old.reddit and had ad-block on. I found my use was reduced over the last few months because it’s just recycled posts these days.

    I’m not creating an account just to browse old.reddit and see memes from 3 years ago.

    I bought a ROKU TV once. Got it unboxed. Plugged in. It wanted me to register to activate the TV even if I only want to use the HDMI input.

    I unplugged it. Put it back in the box. Returned it.

    One day they’ll shut off the registration system and if you ever factory reset the TV, it will be bricked. Fuck no to that.




  • My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.

    Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.

    Over the years I’ve bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I’d be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.

    Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.

    The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that “came with the computer” you’re going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.
