Important to note that the DDG browser *is* Chrome, it just has a different logo and different default search experience (and this is okay because of the F/OSS development model). Just use Firefox - Mozilla are "AI" pilled too but it's the best we can do until the bubble pops.

Being the only candidate but only beating "None of the above" by less than 10,000 votes is an incredible embarrassment. Almost wish the Loonies never put anyone up; Binface would have sailed into 5 figures.

Full of despair today. Massive lay offs in social sciences and humanities across the country, Burnham puts out a video saying 'AI can write an essay', and my university is busy integrating co-pilot into all staff and student computers. We are being told we're defunct and there's no resistance.
