When I was looking for Chrome alternatives (due to bad UI and bugs), I was able to configure away the cruft, thankfully. That’s how it helped win me over.

Have you tried the Workspaces feature? It’s actually pretty awesome.

Yay. So many new job opportunities for those poor, young, underprivileged lads.

On the flip side, I appreciated this article so much I wrote a long heartfelt reply, relating to it in detail and then thanking you so much for it. ♥️

You and I both. But: That’s the issue. We just want to be happy, for ourselves and our friends and families.

The sort of greed that breeds this kind of disgusting opulent wealth is a bottomless pit. It’s driven by an endless and ravenous need to own and control everything, no matter the human cost.

That’s the part that really pisses me off. I’ve boycotted all his companies (despite being a techie, tempted by EVs and satellite internet) and yet these civil/sultanistic oligarchs still find a way to divert a portion of my tax dollars into their wallet (mean while not paying their own fair share).

This is missing T2.social, er… Pebble… which, actually, is shutting down Nov 1 anyway (happens to be where I migrated from).

Jeez, that was fast.

The alt for this is perfect!

(For anyone using screen readers, it’s an image of a cute white fluffy dog very close to the camera with Rachel face peeking from behind… “fluffy peanut” in precisely two words 😅)

It’s technically interesting how they implemented it. Simpler than I expected, actually.

Bluesky explains it here. Essentially, it just uses DNS. It’s like posting a public sign that verifies that, at a particular [sub]domain, “Yes this user does indeed have this particular Bluesky handle”. 😊

Sadly, I know this feeling. Stay strong, fellow developer.

Look at that subtle coloring. The tasteful gap width. Oh my God, it even has an alt text...
