> use firefox, install uBlock Origin

This is the only correct answer. The second firefox is actually no longer viable, I guarantee you chrome is going to rapidly go closed source or require software attestation to prevent modification (not sure what the analogous plan for Safari will be, but it won’t be good).

The passkey stuff is a step in this direction.

Passkeys work with Firefox.

So does DRM. In the long run, web sites will end up requiring measured boot to use passkeys, and also require passkeys. This is already common practice with android (to prevent third party ROMs from working).

I installed Coreboot/Tianocore on my T430 and it was awesome! Mostly, it got rid of Lenovo's stupid WiFi whitelist.

A few years ago, I got an X270 since my T430 was feeling sluggish. I'd be curious to try this!

My X270 has a 7th-gen core i5, is that Kaby Lake? Does coreboot/libreboot on the X270 need SeaBIOS or will it work with Tianocore?

I like that you can switch the second-hand to "tick" or continuously move. I have multiple analog clocks in my house and since most of them are battery-powered quartz, the second hand ticks. But, I have one that's from the 60s and needs to be plugged into the wall; that one has the second hand continuously move!

I have a (fairly recent) continuous movement clock from Ikea, battery-powered and most certainly inexpensive (they don't sell expensive ones and I wouldn't get that even if they did).

EDIT: I think it's $15 TJALLA[0] and it mentions "No disturbing ticking sounds since the clock has a silent quartz movement."

I have a TROMMA [0], which I like because you can see the wall through the numbers :)

Thank you for your nice comment!

I love collecting vintage computers and phones, so I use an ATA to allow me to connect them to a "landline." I use voip.ms, and I keep a little bit of money in there. Mostly, so I can show my friends that my rotary phone actually works! Surprisingly, I haven't got spam calls on that line (yet).

How would that work on a PC? Not everyone uses Discord on their phone/tablet.

You're not using EHLO?

I was able to go to the Living Computer Museum and I got there when they first opened and wound up staying until closing time. I was just so into all the stuff there :-)

I hope to visit the ICM on my next trip to Seattle, though I suspect that won't be as grand as the original Living Computer Museum

If I don't forget, maybe I'll make them this weekend! I should have all the ingredients already.

And use butter, not margarine. Companies claim their margarine tastes just like butter but butter would never claim to taste just like margarine.

Works in Zen 1.17.15b (aka Firefox 146.0.1) on Linux.

Same for me, Zen 1.17.15b on Mac

Same I am using Zen 1.17.15b on Mac too and it works for me too

Ok, this is pretty cool. Though, I should probably wait until I get home from work before diving too deep into it!

Started going through it before work starts and I think I need to stop before I get too absorbed! I love their design and music decisions so far.
