🔗 Link Post: “Daring Fireball: Ecosia Is Now a Default Search Engine Option for Safari”
John Gruber writing for Daring Fireball:
“I actually hadn’t heard of Ecosia before, but their story is interesting enough that I’m giving them a shot.”
If Gruber listened to Hemispheric Views he would have heard about Ecosia on Episode 2 back on 24 September.

I express my gratitude to the community of micro.blog, so many of whom gave their best wishes to me when I shared the news of my Dad dying. This really is a great neighbourhood of the internet - thank you all. 💕🙌

Chrome is Bad: Short story: Google Chrome installs something called Keystone on your computer, which nefariously hides itself from Activity Monitor and makes your whole computer slow even when Chrome isn’t running. Deleting Chrome and Keystone makes your computer way, way faster, all the time. I’ve never been a huge fan of Chrome. Reading this was enough to convince me to uninstall it for good. This website has been published by Loren Brichter, who authored Tweetie way back when.

I’ve installed Big Sur on my iMac. So far, all seems well. I went to enable reduce transparency, only to discover I must have had it enabled in Catalina as the setting had transferred over.
Family night at the Victoria Park Family Christmas fair. Great to be out and about.
As usual, things get a bit crazy on @Hemisphericviews: @Burk drinks multiple beverages at once; I go overboard on ‘Media Corner’, selecting multiple items; and @martinfeld is shocked to discover that he is actually from the future. Is there an almanac for that? pca.st
