  • There was an article during Obama’s years that showed the negotiation tactics of Republicans and the summary was exactly what you wrote: Republicans draft bills with shit that they know will anger Democrats, but they’ll use it to pass the other shit that they want to pass.

    Democrats fall for it every fucking time.

    The article went on to say that compromise occurs far more often on the conservative side more often than the liberal side, meaning that Democrats often will give up far more than Republicans will.

    The biggest issue I’ve seen is how do you get a bunch of data to look and behave between a bunch of users who have different skillsets and varying knowledge about how the data connects to other data?

    You could build a web page with a database backend. But this takes hours when plopping the data into a spreadsheet is minutes.















  • There is a point of diminishing returns. Like most things, you have to evaluate what you are willing to live with and let go.

    I know someone who only browses incognito because they don’t want cookies tracking them. They log into everything every day. Which, imo, is worse because those cookies are still tracking you but you now have to log in everyday.

    But for them they like the control.

    I’ve moved most of my incidental link on my phone clicking to Firefox Focus (thanks to URL Checker) which has upped my privacy. I wouldn’t have made that change without the prompt that URL Checker provides though.

    I use a VPN outside of my house and I use pihole at home. I am tempted to switch my DNS to unbound but the juice doesn’t seem to be worth the squeeze. We’ll see the next time I need to rebuild my pi.
