  • Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.

    I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.

    There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.




  • Reddit has had a “bug” for years where when you delete comments and posts it says they’re deleted but never actually verified they were.

    When you delete quickly the API just says it’s deleted. You have to reload and purge multiple times to actually remove your content.

    I wouldn’t put it past Reddit to undelete content, but at the time a lot of the complaints Reddit was restoring content were due to this bug.

    It’s been a bug for at least 10 years.








  • A recession is generally defined as two or more quarters with negative GDP growth.

    Tariffs will absolutely cause that. They’re going to dampen US growth for years.

    That’s only one simple definition though. Broadly I think the answer is still yes, this will cause US job losses, as you’re already seeing in the automotive industry. Job losses result in lower consumer spending, resulting in lower business revenue, and less business expansion and cost cutting, and it can become a reinforcing cycle.

    Recessions can be mild or severe, so the jury is still out on whether the US will hold their tariffs, and how quickly the system adapts to the changes.
