You’re a real one.

Checking it out. I don’t think it’s directly related to my question, so I edited my post, but this seems cool.

I went over for an article I found. Scrolled out of morbid curiosity. It’s just awful. Ended up commenting about it and was down voted back to hell, apparently where I’m told o belong.

Digging the proverbial hole with the shovel. (now, double down, OP.)

Neal Stephenson predicted this (of course). Google, reddit, and others in the cohort are effectively ‘shallow web,’ easily searchable and manipulated by SEO. As such, you get 10-15 sites with all the same content, reducing the quality of your searches and the overall quality of web content.

It’s an effort to get clicks and monetize.

There’s no coming back from it.

That’s in your head. I cannot think of anything Firefox won’t do for me. And if I came across something I needed chromium for, I would open it that one time. My privacy is worth that tiniest bit of effort.

As an independent computer consultant full time, I operate heavily through my browser for a good 60% of my work.

I never needed sleep to have spiders.

Sort of. I left FTE for this in July 2021. It’s feast or famine. You’re going to need a steady stream of jobs and the ability to say no, but that only comes after an abundance of saying yes to everything, sleepless nights of working your ass off, until finally it becomes steady.

It’s not for the faint of heart.

I’ve almost done 3 years in as an independent. Don’t do it if you don’t have multiple faucets providing gigs for you. I make 2x my FTE salary, but it ebbs and flows.

If you are not already connected, don’t do it.

Edit: added “3”. No time context before.

You don’t understand suicide or depression. You’re making a grossly crass statement, no matter what the man may have done in life.

PNW?

That’s half my rate to fuck Boebert…allegedly.

I paid twice that in taxes here in the USA and I still don’t have proper health insurance. If I got sick, I would be destitute.

How are you doing it? I was under the assumption that it’s not possible to do now that the API changes have been made.

And opinions are like kittens; people are always giving them away for free.

None GUI. Just use a terminal!
