I switched to Chrome about 10 years ago because Safari was buggy and lost all my tabs one time too many. Also it made it easier to move between platforms. Still using it now. The main thing I wish it had is a visual tab overview like Safari does.

Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•They are officially known as string trimmers. Where are you geographically and what do you call them?0·2 months agoThis plays in my head every time I hear the phrase “weed whacker”. It’s called a whacker, for weeds.
Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your hot sauce of choice?0·3 months agoI can’t pick a single favorite, they all have different uses. Cholula or Valentina go with a lot of things, but obviously and especially Mexican food. Frank’s Red Hot is pretty much only for making Buffalo sauce, but I also like it on mac & cheese, and on steak (this is a weird thing I got from my dad). My favorite chili crisp is Fly By Jing. It makes Chinese takeout worth eating. Calabrian chili paste goes great on sandwiches and in tomato sauces. I’m not big on sriracha, but keep a bottle of Underwood Ranches on hand to make spicy ketchup or add to a sandwich or burger, ramen, etc. Speaking of Underwood Ranches, their chili garlic sauce is perfect on eggs. I also have a bottle of Secret Aardvark habanero sauce for chili and hot dogs and most importantly, chili dogs. The last one that comes to mind is the only obscure one that you get in those mall stores where 99% of their business is from frat boy joke labels: “Sauce Bitch”. Despite the stupid name, this one is unique and delicious. It’s fruity and dark and goes amazingly well with pork dishes as well as eggs. I stumbled on it in a restaurant and now I have to order it direct from the manufacturer because I haven’t found anything else quite like it.

Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.0·4 months agoNah, it’s not as bad as Linux.
Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that most people consider embarrassing that you don't?0·6 months agoAdmitting you were wrong/made a mistake/can’t do something.
Related: changing your mind. The one thing that can still destroy any politician is the dreaded “flip-flop”. Yet the thing we most need them to do is to revise their position in the face of new information.
I think most of the problems in the world come down to some sort of bullshit posturing that (especially male) humans seem to be compelled to engage in.
Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do wages and tax work in the US?0·6 months agoA return is what you file. The money you get back for overpayment is a refund.
Sorry, pet peeve of mine that comes up every tax season.
Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?0·6 months agoIt’s reminding me that most people don’t see the forest for the trees.

Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?0·9 months agoFor me, this is a feature. The last thing I want is celebrities and news outlets clogging up my feed of nice people’s sandwiches and cat pictures.
Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?0·10 months agoI worked at Google for over a decade. The issue isn’t that the engineers are unaware or unable. Time and time and time again there would be some new product or feature released for internal testing, it would be a complete disaster, bugs would be filed with tens of thousands of votes begging not to release it, and Memegen would go nuts. And all the feedback would be ignored and it would ship anyway.
Upper management just doesn’t care. Reputational damage isn’t something they understand. The company is run by professional management consultants whose main expertise is gaslighting. And the layers and layers of people in the middle who don’t actually contribute any value have to constantly generate something to go into the constant cycle of performance reviews and promotion attempts, so they mess with everything, re-org, cancel projects, move teams around, duplicate work, compete with each other, and generally make life hell for everyone under them. It’s surprising anything gets done at all, but what does moves at a snail’s pace compared to the outside world. Not for lack of effort, the whole system is designed so you have to work 100 times harder than necessary and it feels like an accomplishment when you’ve spent a year adding a single checkbox to a UI.
I may have gone on a slight tangent there.

Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What song do you put on when you need to 'get shit done'?0·1 year agoMostly silence, but when I was in high school (some decades ago now) I had a CD of Mozart music I would put on while doing homework. I still associate Symphony 40 in G minor with grinding through tasks.
Stopped eating so damn much.
I read the The Hacker’s Diet by John Walker (who recently died, sadly) and followed his advice.
Christopher Masto@lemmy.masto.communityto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro?0·1 year agoAt the risk of facts getting in the way:
- You can install ad blockers
- Apps are not able to do that
That’s just called being scammed. There’s no 43% sales tax anywhere in the US.
