New comment by KitN in "an opinionated blog on tech switches by a student who lived through year 2025"

I just want this to be found by some internet archaeologist (maybe some future version of netrunners) in the next 2,000 years, or maybe even more. For them to see what it was like to live through the chaotic year of 2025, when everyone was trying to undercut their competitors and new things popped up every week.

For those reading this now, though, it’s just a log of the switches I made this year, so that I might revisit them again next year.

But hasn't this always been the case? What is personality if not a weighted summation of the content they consume? Before the feeds and the algorithm it was books and gossips.

New comment by KitN in "Nook Browser"

KitN — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 10:03:05 +0000

I was looking for a good browser. I’m finally interning, and Brave has taken over as my official browser(I don’t like the concept of workspaces/profiles). I used Comet for a while but found it extremely annoying. I like Zen, but I’m not a fan of sidebars in browsers. Currently settled on Helium. This would have been good, but I can’t seem to understand the obsession with sidebars.

New comment by KitN in "Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail"

KitN — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 00:23:26 +0000

no, i dont think that's how it works. if someone is using protonmail they won't be violating court's order. the order is just for protonmail to be blocked. doesn't say anything about the people using it.
