Just turned 69 last week and I feel the same way. One difference for me is, because I'm retired, I can use Claude to explore things in ways and at a speed I never could before without any pressure. It truly feels like the old days of learning and working with all those early languages and all the discovery and sense of exploring new frontiers.

1. Regularly 2. Digital 3. Never 4. Pretty much everything that comes into my head that I cannot immediately dispatch or resolve.

I'll have to go check out "Blue Max" -- remember the movie but haven't seen it in years. My favorites: "Last of the Mohicans" soundtrack by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman; "Inception" by Hans Zimmer; "Interstellar" by Hans Zimmer

Same on Android

I find this topic particularly interesting. I've often said to others that software, in itself, is a general abstraction of one or more complex tasks. The whole point of software is to hide complexity and make possible, in a hopefully simpler manner, doing things that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible. Despite what users may experience, the complexity remains but becomes hidden.

I've used Brave for years. Never used any of the crypto features. It is just a solid, privacy-based, chromium-based browser.

Brave has committed to do what they can as long as they can. But unsure how long and what that really turns out to be. https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/

That is easy talking from Brave as long as it is still a config flag, then after a compile-time flag. Once the internal APIs for MV2 or where MV2 get removed or changed it becomes very difficult to maintain. Never mind the possible security issues you introduce, but won’t get so quickly discovered, because Brave is a smaller target.

Maybe you have inside info, but last we knew, Google needs internals for webRequest for its enterprise Chrome customers. I think this is not the dire situation your words convey.

I mean this isn't rocket surgery, carrying a patch set isn't as hard as this thread is making it out to be. Your Linux distro right now is carrying thousands.

Like I said before, Brave even has a better solution because it has a uBlock compatible ad blocker _built in straight into its core_ (but its disabled by default). Same block lists, same safety assurances.

Although I still use Firefox with uBlock as my daily driver at home, Brave with block lists and Shields is right next to it (and I use it as my daily driver at work). It works pretty damn well!

Interesting. So it seems that Gaia-X is a process that defines how to talk about discussing things that could be done without defining what those things could actually be or do. It is a meta-meta level. Hmmm... Let's discuss how to discuss things...

LocalSend. Been using it for a month or more and fits well my occasional transfer needs and is nice that it works the same way on all platforms I use. I have five network shares on my server for general access from all other systems. Platforms: Android, LinuxMint, Fedora, Windows.

What a great idea! It could definitely help expand vocabulary. One would still need other tools to increase hearing recognition.
