Highly recommend zen-browser.app ... built on top of Firefox, but with the AI bits pulled out, with full support for Firefox plugins like UBlock Origin, etc...

Fun thoughts... the cost of developing software is about to collapse dramatically. How tf are we going to navigate that in the next 5 to 10 years???

Hello internet friends, it's rough out there so I found y'all some tech jobs that have positive (or at least, less evil) impacts on the world. Here's a thread of what I've found for you this week ⬇️

Wimbledon Common is probably the place in London I miss the most. Spent many many happy hours walking every inch of it in all weather.

Just outside Kimberley. Northern Cape sunrises are the most beautiful 😍🧡🔥
