I got Waterfox installed and Firefox Sync working with it so that's a big win. I am currently not able to change the sync device name, which is annoying, but not a deal breaker.

Edit: Shit, I spoke too soon! I quit & relaunched and Sync has me signed out and I cannot sign back in. Sigh...

Highly recommend Albertan Senator Paula Simons’ @… passionate response to Alberta Separatists and for all Canadians.
“…Alberta’s current crop of separatists don’t just want to leave Canada. They seem to want to opt out of the 21st century entirely.
But Albertans aren’t quitters. So let’s not quit Canada. Let’s fight to make it better, fairer and more prosperous for everyone, Albertans included.”

I share this because it’s important to understand that the impulse to turn to AI seems strongest when a worker is stretched thin, burnt out, sick, or otherwise unable to meet a deadline.
I’ve seen this before, and experienced it myself in 2024 / early 2025 before I quit using LLMs.
I think those of us who are against LLMs and want to reduce society’s dependence on these tools need to contend with that and look for solutions both for individual situations and on a larger scale.

I wish I could be this enthusiastic about abandoning my unhealthy vices…
I really miss elements of drinking and smoking. I was never a really heavy drinker just a frequent one. Pisses me off that I can no longer have a glass of wine in the evening and feel chipper in the AM. So I just stopped.
Smoking was also annoying but easy. My wife’s health insurance provider has a surcharge for smokers. So I quit.
These are parts of my evidence for my non-humanity.

Updated my Android (Xiaomi HyperOS) while traveling abroad and had a minor freakout when it stopped charging. All my travel plans are on that phone, not to mention it's my camera. I REALLY don''t need it to quit on me.
