  They’re not even hiding anymore. The last three ads I’ve seen/heard for AI agents have all said something along the lines of, “Your next hire is our agent.” So, the next time someone tries to tell you they’re not trying to replace you with AI… They are. #ai #AIAgents #marketing

  What’s interesting about #BraveOrigin to me is that, if this had been the original product and were priced at more like $30, I think it’d have been quite popular. I’ve seen plenty of people, including myself, say that they’d pay for a simple, private browser that isn’t propped up by Google in some way. But, to launch it years down the road at $60, still using Chromium… Sorry, but I’m good with the various free options that basically give me the same without the background and drama.

  I love starting my messages with, “Hey man, no rush, but…” and then checking if they responded every 30 seconds.

  I want to use Linux instead of Windows. I want to use Firefox instead of Brave. I want to use Darktable instead of Lightroom. I want to use Open Maps instead of Google Maps. But… I also want to play games with my friends, play videos without killing my battery life, stitch photos into a panorama without giving up my sanity, and find a nearby restaurant with good reviews quickly. Forever in a state of never feeling free 😅

  An interesting side-effect of using a magnetic phone wallet that I did not anticipate: it makes my phone heavy and annoying to use, which has regularly made me want to put my phone down rather than pick it up 😅

  Happy #WorldBookDay - I recently started on The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan. It’s delightful and insightful so far. #birding

  You ever need to make a decision, do days of research, make your decision, then two days later second guess that decision? Yeah, that’s been me on repeat for like 5 years lol

  Warm day at Pickerel Lake, but still plenty enough ice to take a quick walk on the lake. Trying something new with the black and white, square crops... Not 100% sold, but I enjoy composing for square crops. It makes sense somehow. Taken with the Olympus OMD E-M10 and Ttartisan 25mm f2. #photography #blackandwhite #west_michigan #naturephotos #winter

  Mastodon seems to be a very pro-privacy, anti-Gopgle place. So, be honest... How many Google apps and/or services are you (intentionally) using these days? Additionally, are you trying to reduce that number? #mastodon #privacy #google #tech

  I want to use Firefox with uBlock Origin, but some sites perform just horribly on my Pixel 10. This site, for example (mastodon.social) scrolls very chunky. Anyone else have this or know a fix? #firefox #mobile #android

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@chris_colvin/116085840487102393 Thanks, everyone! Seems like the vast majority are definitely minimizing their Google use, with most reporting just 1-3 apps/services, and a lot of people pointing to YouTube and Maps as the "stickiest" apps. That begs the question... What would need to happen for open source alternatives to these to really gain traction? Maybe they never will, and maybe that's ok. #google #privacy #youtube #maps
