I've never seen the phrase "manual transmission user-agent". Using your own browser yourself is the new stick shift. Love it.

It feels like everyone's rebuilding their own desktop experience. Kind of Minecraft with folders and text files.

The really interesting part of this is how little people talk about what they're doing, and it doesn't feel secretive in any way.

I definitely fall into that, on linux it's just a lot of extensions, scripts etc. Thing is, it's also brittle and not really useful for anybody to talk about it? Not sure I get what you mean with the third sentence.

Just like you say. It's not a secret business plan, it just doesn't really feel useful to talk about.

What do you mean exactly?
