- Comment on Why does LibreWolf disable Firefox Sync by default if no privacy issues? 2 years ago:
Opt-in seems like a reasonable position for this optional feature. Not everyone uses it. I don't. To turn the question on its head:
Is there a compelling reason to enable it by default?
- Comment on LINUX is still HARD to install? 2 years ago:
As a former computer illiterate, I certainly was stressed throughout the process of making a bootable USB drive and installing Linux Mint for the first time. Selecting whether to include multi-media codecs or not also tripped me up a bit, as I didn't know what that meant at the time. There are good points raised here, and some deserved praise for the streamlined installers.
As pointed out, it seems easy and straightforward after one has done it a few times. Now, the only thing that gives me grief is configuring GRUB to recognize GhostBSD, and that's mostly because I have yet to RTFM.

- Comment on IRS Will Soon Require Selfies for Online Access 2 years ago:
I just love it when the US government hires out private companies with proprietary software to perform sensitive public services like these! /s
The article itself links to one small justification for the change on the online front, namely How 100 Million in Jobless Claims Went to Inmates, which is absolutely mind boggling. The entity in charge of both deciding who gets thrown in prison and for how long, cannot keep track of those same people when it comes to jobless claims. Yes, this type of federal / state coordination is difficult and there are lots of reasonable reasons it turned out this way, but the result of the mess is almost comedic, were it not just sad.
