People are downvoting you, but you're correct. I don't work a particularly sensitive or interesting tech job, but we've had 2 candidates in the last year who were faking who/where they were. One had other people in the room feeding them answers. I'd expect weirdness in remote interviews as companies figure out how to navigate this.

If Firefox works for you, I'd recommend it. I could make a huge list of my subjective pros and cons, but who cares what I think?

The most important thing is that I'd recommend getting off Chrome, because Google is attempting to use their market position to make the internet worse for users. Try all the alternatives and see which one you like.

I didn't want anyone to think I'm actually from that shithole state, Mississippi.

It's close enough that counting Mississippis is still roughly accurate.

(for non-US people, we sometimes estimate seconds by counting 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi... just because it's a long word that takes about the right amount of time to say)

I think you misread that. This poster's experience isn't from 2016. They installed a program called "Outlook 2016" recently.

heh. This reminds me of electric cars. I've been happily driving one for 9 years.

Lots of people online and in person tell me "Electric cars aren't there yet. They won't work." Well, you must be correct then. I just handed down my first EV to my kid and bought a second one.

I recently watched "The Program" on Netflix, about one of these alleged leadership academies that is really an abusive reform school. Almost all of them are run by an organization called WWASPS, and all of them are eventually shut down for abuse, neglect, and cruelty.

I imagine it is tough for them to open new locations in US States due to past shutdowns, crimes, and lawsuits.

A quick google search shows that this "Atlantis Leadership Academy" is also run by WWASPS.

Agreed.

My grandparents: Loudly racist

My parents: Quietly racist

Me: Thinking brain logical, but unconscious bias

My kids: Man, my parent is racist.

Good thinking, kid. Get better than me.

How different is this from supporting a small-govermnent dictator?

That happens a lot to Google products.

Some people get a little success and think that that justifies being a condescending and cruel alleged expert on everything in the world, free from consequences.

See: The creator of Dilbert, Elon Musk, Shia LaBeauf, Andrew Tate, etc.
