They’re not even hiding anymore. The last three ads I’ve seen/heard for AI agents have all said something along the lines of, “Your next hire is our agent.” So, the next time someone tries to tell you they’re not trying to replace you with AI… They are. #ai #AIAgents #marketing

What’s interesting about #BraveOrigin to me is that, if this had been the original product and were priced at more like $30, I think it’d have been quite popular. I’ve seen plenty of people, including myself, say that they’d pay for a simple, private browser that isn’t propped up by Google in some way. But, to launch it years down the road at $60, still using Chromium… Sorry, but I’m good with the various free options that basically give me the same without the background and drama.

I love starting my messages with, “Hey man, no rush, but…” and then checking if they responded every 30 seconds.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social yes, but also even a cashier at Costco should make a living wage and not have their job looked down upon.

I want to use Linux instead of Windows. I want to use Firefox instead of Brave. I want to use Darktable instead of Lightroom. I want to use Open Maps instead of Google Maps. But… I also want to play games with my friends, play videos without killing my battery life, stitch photos into a panorama without giving up my sanity, and find a nearby restaurant with good reviews quickly. Forever in a state of never feeling free 😅

An interesting side-effect of using a magnetic phone wallet that I did not anticipate: it makes my phone heavy and annoying to use, which has regularly made me want to put my phone down rather than pick it up 😅

Happy #WorldBookDay - I recently started on The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan. It’s delightful and insightful so far. #birding

You ever need to make a decision, do days of research, make your decision, then two days later second guess that decision? Yeah, that’s been me on repeat for like 5 years lol
