Saying on expertise by [deleted] in whatever

Any expert who's skill or discipline is pushing paper is not worth listening to. They are expert excrement expediters. With the help of semantics, statistics, verbal and emotional manipulation, and appeals to authority, paper experts can make fantasy sound real. They've had years of training and indoctrination in their respective paper pushing and theorizing.

The only experts worth listening to are those who's skills or disciplines are demonstrable through tangible and useful tasks. Physical therapists are experts. Clinicians are meat doing what it's told.

This is handy for any Mint users. Or you can just go to Software Manager and install it without touching the command line. Really easy. I recommend the uBlock Origin extension specifically for it's "block element" feature. Most commercial-newstainment sites have something like 1/4 of the page being an article and 3/4 of the page are ads, solicitations for donations, calls to action (subscribe, get emails, etc), and it's nice to nuke all that easily.

LibreWolf's drawback is that it doesn't play nice with certain sites, in my experience you have to 'unset' a lot of the security features to have certain email, banking, or government sites work properly. I just use ungoogled-chromium for that, because I'm not trying to hide my info from sites that already know full well who I am.
