As a long-time Chrom(e|ium) user, switching to Firefox this week was painless (+uBlock Origin to match Brave-like defaults).
@roy makes a good case for switching going into 2024:

There was one snag that folks should be aware of: Firefox "suggestions" send your URL bar input to Mozilla and/or your configured search engine. It was easy to disable, but felt shady given that it leaks your search input to two external parties by default.

BASTARDS...BASTARDS!
Knowing US MAGA Republicans, Donald Trump, and House Speaker Mike Johnson have procedurally blocked all US military aid to Ukraine, Putin is depleting Ukrainian Air defenses by overwhelming it with missiles; 110+ Russian rockets last night alone across Ukraine!
Putin and the Republicans will leave the Ukrainians defenseless against the Russian barbaric onslaught!

New post: The Web is Fantastic https://rknight.me/blog/the-web-is-fantastic/
This is a post I've been trying to write for a while and it's a bit all over the place but if I don't post it now it will live in purgatory forever.

For months, I've been pondering what the tech plutocracy would actually have to fear from an sentient machine intelligence.
I think I figured it out. #AI

@troublewithwords Amazon putting ads on Prime Video is a textbook case of what @pluralistic calls #enshittification: “OK, we've got you where we want you, so now we'll start making the product worse & sucking more money out of it.”
AMZN seems to be doubling-down hard on the whole enshittification strategy: from turning their storefront into a pay-to-play search engine for cheap crap, to amped-up Kindle DRM lock-in, to ads on Prime Video, it's an across-the-board effort.
Expect #AWS to be next.

Brexit: Destroying your economy and breaking your society apart in order to be able to say you're now allowed to do things that you were never not allowed to do.
@FluentInFinance define freedom. Can live OK for rest life with no other income? Enough to "say fuck you" and park on double yellow lines all day every day and just pay the fine?

IGN just posted:
One Fan's Quest to Make the Perfect Light Gun for 2023 Continues
Since 2019, Andy Sinden has been on a altruistic quest to not only make the perfect light gun for modern TVs, but also revive an otherwise forgotten sub-genre of games.
@cazmockett TIL. Ta for explaining
@cazmockett wait. What. Is this why technic pegs sometimes are easy to get in holes and sometimes not?
@freemo oh, I already have a dog lol
