Something to think about

Is there such a thing as a good browser?


Found out that Waterfox plays nice with both Hitomi, and FimFiction, so decided to give it a shot as my main browser. FimFiction doesn't work well on FireFox but does on Chromium, while Hitomi doesn't work on either of those. Later I found out that WaterFox handles AliExpress fine too, a site that works on Chromium, but not FireFox.

Looks-wise, no different than Firefox, has a tab sidebar, but that's about all that's better. Oh, and it was giving a pop up about security settings with a link to click to get more info, official WaterFox and all, and the link was a 404. Yeah, that's real encouraging. After a bit I logged into my FireFox ID so I could gather all my add ons there, and see if'n they broke any of those sites, but they kept working. What didn't stay working was the browser itself, there was a blink, and most of my tabs disappeared. Oh, and GoComics oddly doesn't work with it, if you try to enlarge a pic, you just get a blank page.

Ok, so it's not going to work out, fired up Firefox... And now I'm missing my containers and one of my home page sites. Quit, went back to WF and logged it out of my Mozilla ID, quit and opened FireFox, and got most of my stuff back. Lots of logging in and a few settings later, and we've got almost everything, I've lost access to my Recalls group here.

The Recalls problem is partially my fault, BitWarden never saved the password, and I'd deleted the account email address, replacing it with a new account. Solution seems pretty simple, right? Just create that address again... And for some reason the Friendica password reset isn't making it to that address... Oh joy.

Any how, so I'm back to using FireFox for most things, and Chromium for a few others. Might keep WaterFox for Hitomi, dunno on that. Now to figure out something with @Recalls

Frankly, I think investors this dumb deserve to lose their money


"That's just math"

Perfect.

I somehow missed this story last month. Investors put in $284m and less than $2.5m was paid back. All things considered it's surprising they got that much

I already do this thanks to growing up poor (Ok, only 80s poor, but still...), and going bankrupt once, I look for a good reason for everything I buy.


‘Buy less!’: why Sewing Bee’s Patrick Grant wants us to stop #shopping


Grant is very exercised about this idea, and the book’s affably bossy subtitle is a much better clue to his personal energy than its #minimalist title: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer, Better Things Can Make Us Happier.

Less is a sort of anti-shopping guide, a plea to think very carefully before we part with our cash. Which might seem surprising given that Grant has himself for 20 years been a #retailer, designer and #clothing manufacturer
