Stop calling them tech companies: GenAI and SaaS — are they really tech? It’s time to call a spade a spade. (sifted.eu)

When I started angel investing in the late 1990s, a tech investment included a significant technology risk, with the potential upside being groundbreaking innovation. Being an investor at this time meant taking a considerable technology risk and betting on actual tech, such as nanotech, semiconductors or biotech.

E-commerce, albeit hyped and interesting, was not considered tech. It was “Business 2.0”, plain and straightforward, hype included.

I would feel like wading through sewer bare footed if I had all javascript enabled by default

omg, I'm using NoScript now and my eyes have been opened; I can't ever go back!! Thanks for the analogy; that was a much-needed, jolting wake-up call.

I also use ublock origin on top of it, that way its a little safer to test which sites to allow. Anything blocked on ublock origin is definitely something you dont need to run the website and if it is then its likely not worth using that website anyway.

Join me in leaving uBlock Origin for AdNauseam! I made a post about it that ended up gaining significant traction: https://midwest.social/post/25573927

If anything ever happens to ublock i'll definitely switch to that one as retaliation. Unfortunately they dont work together and ublock has better features for blocking stuff I dont want to see.

Oh, what can it do that AdNauseam and NoScript can't?

Dang it... I'm starting to feel the appeal now, lol! Hmm.
