However, I'd expect businesses would also want to reduce cold and covid's impact on employee productivity? Wouldn't fewer employees needing to take sick time because of cold/covid increase their profits? Outside of businesses that profit from cold/covid, I don't see what the motivation for businesses would be against this vaccination.

Is this edition of Looney Tunes available on blu-ray? The Max version was a 4k restoration based off new scans of the film iirc.

The peak of AI for me was generating images Muppet versions of the Breaking Bad cast; it's been downhill since.

Wow, I didn't know iCab was still being developed. I remember it from like 20 years ago.

Its iOS app store page says it doesn't collect any information, so that's promising. The recent reviews as of version 11 aren't great; lots of bugs apparently. I might try it nevertheless.

Thanks for the recommendation!

While the rendering engine (WebKit) is the same across iOS browsers, WebKit is an open source project. To my knowledge there isn't any telemetry baked into WebKit that reports back to Apple or whomever about user identity or behavior; tracking would have to be added by the developers making use of WebKit for their browser, I think? So in terms of privacy, it should make a difference which iOS you select.

I have hundreds if not thousands of bookmarks; I'd like them to stay in sync between desktop and mobile and that requires the same browser on both platforms, no?

The main problem I'm having is finding a trustworthy iOS browser that does absolutely zero tracking of its users. You look at the privacy info on Apple's App store pages for like Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, DDG, and other privacy oriented browsers, and they say they collect this or that. Only Orion from what I can tell promises they collect nothing (whether that can be independently verified idk since it's closed source).

After the whole Firefox debacle I'm trying to find a new privacy oriented browser for my Mac and iOS devices with bookmark syncing. Ideally an open source browser but I don't think one exists right now that has both macOS and iOS versions. For example LibreWolf has a Mac app but no iOS app.

It's not open source but Orion browser which exists on both Mac and iOS is the only browser I can find on Apple's App Store that has "Data Not Collected. The developer does not collect any data from this app." on its app store page.

And it has some interesting features like being able to run Chrome/Firefox extensions on iOS (including uBlock).

But I did some digging into Kagi, the makers of Orion and was turned off by them being an AI search company. Also, despite Kagi claiming Orion completely blocks fingerprinting I couldn't get Orion to pass EFF's fingerprinting benchmark tool; it always said I was unique no matter what settings I tried. And I've read some other questionable things about how Kagi operates its business which I won't go into here.

I know there's Brave but I'm turned off by the company's connection to crypto and their inclusion of AI in their browser.

Maybe Vivaldi? Vivaldi however says they do some anonymized telemetry to collect usage statistics. And again these two browsers also aren't open source either.

I'm afraid there are no good macOS + iOS browser setups? I'm hoping someone will correct me. 😬

Danger 5. It's an Australian tv show that had two seasons. It's a surreal, screwball comedy about a ragtag team whose mission every episode is to kill Hitler.

If you want to see a TV show that has Nazis, dinosaurs, cigarette commercials, and a talking bald Eagle, then this is your show.

I think this meme is referring to when Apple ripped out 32bit support in macOS a few years ago. I couldn't use Wine anymore to play old windows games on my Mac after that update for example.
