Housekeeping Note
I have become addicted to Twitter. Among other things, I stopped posting here. Recently I posted a complaint about Chrome and messed up certificates (warnings that sites were not private because they had a dialog box pop up). Among other sites, this site had that problem with Chrome. I swore to never use Chrome again. I must confess that I broke that oath and am now using Chrome which allowed me to this site rather than blocking with a warning that “la connessione non e’ privata”.
More to the point, my pointless post was rather warmly received (thank you) so I will try to post more.
I will certainly be cranky, will repeat myself, and, in particular, will often type “I told you so.”
Robert:
You are and were always welcome at Angry Bear. Dan and I exchanged emails over the years. He often said in our conversations, your commentaries were unique and also made him smile. If it is of any consequence to you, I read your posts and comments also.
I do not use Chrome. I still have a hotmail account. I like Google. Don’t use Bing. Will probably have to change some day, maybe never?
Your commentary on Chrome made me laugh.
Anything you can put on Angry Bear about the economy, Europe, etc. is also very welcome. 🙂
Nice to see you again. I never went away 😉
I’ve given up in the browser wars, when I’m on Windows I run the Windows default (Edge), Mac the Mac default (Safari). I think they’re all as bad as each other. I do have an Android tablet, defaulting to Goggle and Chrome, that’s a single-use talk-to-text translator for my hearing impaired spouse, never gets used for browsing
While I lament the Facebooking of the blog comments sections the bigger picture everybody seems to be missing is while Elon’s utter destruction of Twitter has inconvenienced the western world it has shut down dissent throughout the authoritarian. While currying favor with your largest (ev) market is probably a good business move, like sabotaging an American ally’s efforts to defend itself against foreign aggression by a sworn enemy of the United States of America it is Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy …
