@5f9bb1a8 You just can't know anymore. It was 38C here a few days ago. The most extreme heat I have ever experienced. Thank God for AC, and the cooler days that followed.
I miss the time when phones made calls + text messages and that was it. But knowing how important the phone is to my wife and others, I realize that's short-sighted and narrow-minded. I just like computers being computers and phones being phones (in the traditional sense).
There's an odd genre on YouTube where people find mistakes or shortcomings in famous people, then proceed to assasinate their character. As if there is such a thing as a flawless human being. I suspect it is based on jealously.
Took a while to setup a test environment for TypeScript and React (plus mocks for chrome extension APIs). Got there in the end. Feels surreal to install one package via npm, and have 200+ packages installed. While in Rome, I guess.

Privacy-related flags that are worth looking into via "chrome://flags". First three are ungoogled-chromium features. Last one should be available on both chromium and ungoogled-chromium.
* chrome://flags/#fingerprinting-client-rects-noise
* chrome://flags/#fingerprinting-canvas-measuretext-noise
* chrome://flags/#fingerprinting-canvas-image-data-noise
* chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-hide-local-ips-with-mdns
Seems absolutely insane to me that unless I enable YouTube History the homepage shows no videos, no content at all, except a banner asking me to turn on YouTube History. I have a feeling at some point in the near future it will stop being a choice.
@5f9bb1a8 Agreed. We definitely need competition. Even Google - once the hero in the browser space, has become the opposite since becoming the only player in town.
