> What you did, thought, said.. last year is much less valuable and useful than what you are doing today.

This isn't true for biodata or medical related data.

Most chromium hit pieces come across as evangelical and this one is no exception.

From my personal perspective, Firefox gets the job done but Chromium is undoubtedly the better browser. On desktop and mobile, the difference is felt even more on mobile.

Every time I found an obvious bug or got an unpolished experience on Firefox, I hated it even more.

Whatever data the author thinks they are hiding away from Google, they are (un)knowingly giving it to Mozilla. Even worse if they are using Google to search.

It has always been possible to open YouTube links on VLC. If you want to do so with even less clicks from your browser, there's a open with mpv extension. Can't link it now as am on mobile.

Probably conjecture since the first incidents of the disease, at least in UK, was transmitted sexually among gay males.

Am curious. How do you make calls now? Did you resort to using Whatsapp for calling your contacts? How do you call your grandma back in the village?

I concur with everything the author says here. If you want to visualize this for yourself, just take yourself back to the whole science/anti-vaxx debate we've had the past 2 years. That was a pretty accurate picture of the biblical tower of babel. Social media as a tool keeps sowing more division than ever because that's the growth incentive and we are too afraid to kill the golden goose. Once the metaverse becomes a thing, we will have better bricks to build the tower even higher.

China is soon going to overtake the US as the world hegemony. This disruption will have devastating effects. The accelerated move to the 4th Industrial Revolution will be even more disruptive, unlike anything we as humans have ever known. We keep on ignoring the global warming threat because we think our survival will be under threat if we go cold turkey on fossil energy and the creature comforts necessary to forestall the climate disaster. The covid pandemic gave us all a unique opportunity to recalibrate our collective lives. Today, we go about our daily lives as if the past 3 years was just a bad dream. I very much doubt we can make it through another global pandemic on a scale as or bigger than covid was in the near future.

6. My favorite prediction. Twitter continues to ignore any of Musk's offers. Musk sells his 9% stake. Price goes down. Continues to go down since Twitter('s mgt) is full of shit. Elon gets in an offer when price is languishing at low $30's. Twitter has no choice but to take Elon's offer.

I hold my ground and there is an obvious reason why none of the promising anti-inflammatory drugs which have been used in the past to deal with flu haven't seen the light of day. IMO Covid infection was only considered a death sentence because at first we did not have any patient care focused on treatment of known symptoms through the stages of the sickness & foolishly ignored any potential alternatives or rather the scientific community was co-opted into praising mRNA and look nowhere else. Remdesivir is one of the hush hush alternatives proven to have some success with covid treatment but it never comes up. Anywhere. Nevermind that the FDA approved its use for mild-cases treatment. The scientific community let us down a big one on this. Look at masks now. They backtracked on the effectiveness of that.

Covid will remain an endemic crisis always looming as you rightly point out with the events in Shanghai. Vaccines and multiple boosters won't stop infections and hospitalizations. At this point, if you are alive we have to assume you have developed some immune response to some variant of COVID. Am more disturbed about the overwhelming lack of research on natural immunity and other possible treatments. Vaccine over-reliance is akin to taking a shot in the dark.
