@jhpot due diligence at followers: always check for signs of misuse or whatever.
Bandwidth (mental or digital idfk) reducers like Ad Block Plus, u Block Origin, etc will help.

VPNs do NOT hide your identity from anyone except your ISP. ("Internet Service Provider" is the company you pay for internet usually, plus middlemen afaik.)
e.g. MullPad VPN can reduce digital breadcrumbs of 'metadata' (stuff like when and where you access certain sites from).

Try Next DNS.
It can block a lot more random cookies and crap, especially spyware. Malware includes ransomware, stuff that steals your resources to run bot farms etc.

Add, correct, rephrase, suggest, etc anything you want.
For the love of any god(s) or whatever you find important in life: do not ignore security updates.

🧵 3D-printed voxel/pixel style portraits of Steve Jobs and Walter White (Heisenberg) from Breaking Bad, made in the early 2010s.

Sold these for a while in my former Shapeways 3D print shop. The Steve Jobs bust gained some online publicity, so I received a letter from Apple's lawyers to remove him from my shop. 🙂

A VC-backed startup with Sam Altman as their lead investor* wants the keys to your Mac.

Yeah, no.

Version Suport Request/Bug
(Recently did a clean factory reset. 15.5)

In Ivory,I'm unable to get the mac to correct typos, using the right click/select contextual menu.

In Apple apps, I can right click, select correct word and click to swap it in.

But in ivory, the correct spelling isn't subsituted.

Check & Correct Spelling are both on, in Edit/Spelling & Grammer

Any thoughts?
