Reading the "bun will join Anthropic" post, and the thing that annoys me about these things is that even the post feels like it was barely written by the author itself.

Google won’t be forced to sell its Chrome browser and can keep paying companies to keep its search engine as the default on smartphones, thanks to a federal ruling.
In other words? Google gets to remain a monopoly and keep its harmful, anti-competitive practices.
Shameful.

I'll have to write my final project at Uni in two different languages, duplicated:
1. they prefer to use pt-br for the code, which is ridiculous
2. the final app needs to be "online", which means it needs to be hosted/have a server to communicate with (my idea is a fully offline, accountless app)
