I use qutebrowser but I usually just access the net through the terminal.

High quality with their shitty bitrate? Lmao.

I do bad things all the time so does that make me a psychopath? Sure I feel bad all the time and bury my guilt under copious amounts of alcohol but it still works don’t it.

In the current digitized world, trivial information is accumulating every second; preserved in all it’s tritness, never fading, always accessible; rumors of petty issues, misinterpretations, slander. All junk data preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at an alarming rate, it will only slow down social progress. The digital society furthers human flaws and selectively rewards development of convenient half-truths. Just look at the strange juxtaposition of morality around us.

You could get external digital tuners and a hdmi switch to switch between pc and the TV.

I live in the mountains with satellite internet. The closest people are from the way station thousands of miles away. Humans have no more influence on me than those strange, collusi shadow creatures that roams the mountain at night, outside my house.

Like those Google Chrome ones back then

Reminds me of this kids show in the 2000s where some kid codes an “AI” to redeem any “free” stuff from the internet, not realising that also included buy $X and get one free and drained the companies’ account.
