  • The speaker makes a lot of points with no evidence to back them up where he should have some. That’s alright if you want a conversation about browsers at the virtual bar table, but clearly not a great video essay. Some of his points

    • An incident in 2017 where Firefox installed a plugin called Mr. Robot without the user’s consent
    • Firefox’s default privacy settings are bad
    • Donations to Mozilla don’t go towards software development
    • The chromium engine has better performance
    • Use Brave (repeated about 100 times)

    1. Mount a remote file system via SMB or NFS and it’ll work like any folder on your PC - but you need a network connection to access it. If you need offline mode, maybe create a folder /offline and replicate it to your hard drive with a bidirectional synchronization tool like unison or syncthing. As for providers, personally I use Hetzner Sotrage Box because the price and service looks good enough to me that I didn’t bother to look for alternatives.

    2. KDE Discover is a GUI application for adding/removing packages from different sources













  • Be aware that learning to code is not a safe bet for making money in this market. Of course it’s better to have coding skills on your resume than nothing. Coding also complements other white collar skills well (eg. program Macros in Excel or use Jupyter for bespoke data analysis). But code alone is unlikely to get you cash, in my opinion.
