On my phone (Android) I use Chromite, a privacy-hardened fork of Chromium. It's not on the above site, but it's predecessor Bromite was and had received top marks.

^ please take a moment and check the browsers you use with this site. Some of the popular ones are an absolute dumpster fire when it comes to tracking you.

I've settled on LibreWolf for desktop, a hardened Firefox fork. There are a small percentage of sites that don't work on it forcing me to open another browser, but I'm willing to accept that trade off for being better protected 99% of the better protected for the vast majority of my browsing.

If you want to know which browsers do or do not respect your privacy, check out the site below. They put a wide variety of desktop and mobile browsers through a battery of tracking and other privacy tests. Click on each test for more details.

I post this site every year or so, which is why I wasn't surprised about the recent news regarding Chrome "incognito" mode. It's unfortunate that it took so long to be widely reported.

30 cassettes of previously-unheard Marvin Gaye recordings have been discovered in Belgium!

As you might expect, there is a legal fight surrounding them.

Here's hoping that a sensible agreement can be made, and we all get to enjoy more of Marvin's amazing music.

If I may, maybe Lord Nom is a more efficient moniker?

It would be no different then raging against Judaism on Rosh Hashanah or Islam during Ramadan.

This has been asked before, but it bears repeating:

As we approach the holiest day in the year for many Christians, kindly refrain from raging against Christianity during this time. It seems like some are making a point to be louder about it right now. Not only does that falsely generalize the practices of many different faith denominations, it is cruel to those who are celebrating a special observance in their faith and undermines any point you may be trying to make.

A friend at work introduced me to Da Hong Pao tea, and I'm hooked. She gets hers in China when she goes home to visit family.

It looks like this brand is not available in the US. Does anyone have a particular recommendation for this tea?

I saw this one recommended:

Looks like we've got some new people #VerucaSalting the timeline.

They don't know it yet, but it's about to be bath time. I must prepare.

Prepare to be transported.

This is, IMO, the most stunningly beautiful music for Passion Week ever written. (Sorry, JSB.) This performance is one of my top favorite albums of all time, dare I say better than any Russian choir I've heard perform this piece.
