Agreed! I had to do a double take and check the URL. I thought I am reading a press release rather than actual reporting.

At the moment, I end up using AI mode only because the ads are not as prominent as the normal search.

I am guessing that the Oman's share Homruz fees will also shared with Trump businesses (via loss making investments, or another plane etc)

I also like doing that for topics that I am tangentially interested in. One minor thing that I find annoying is that the narrators switch roles in the middle of conversation. They start with the female voice explaining a concept to the male voice and suddenly they switch. In the meantime I have identified myself with the voice being explained to.

The nation is one terrorist attack away from rallying behind the president. And sadly the chances of that happening have gone up significantly in recent days.

I think what we really need is Internet user's Bill of Rights. The power and information asymmetry is too great to obtain fair treatment for the user.

Unfortunately it is not browser based (as in being local HTML+CSS+js). It is web based, where they get all your data.

Yes, it is the unfortunate reality of the US. You either fork over all your data to tax preparation companies on the web or pay them to use windows/MacOS software. There is still paper filing by doing taxes by hand, but that's a bit too inconvenient. Free online filing is restricted to $89k annual income.

How do you do taxes in Linux? Install a windows VM? I don't want to use the web version. With Google docs being good enough, I don't really need windows for anything else. Last time I checked, the tax software didn't run under wine.

Sometimes getting a second pair of eyes to look at the problem helps and is usually not a judgement of smartness of the first pair of eyes. Seems like it also applies to coding agents.

Today physical world is largely mechanized, we rarely walk, run lift heavy things for survival. So we grow fat and weak unless we exercise. Tomorrow vast majority of us will never think, create, investigate for earning a living. So we will get dumb and dumber over time. A small minority of us will keep polishing their intellect but will never be smarter than machines just like the best athletes of today can't outrun machines.

Hmm, works just fine on my pixel 6a in chrome.
