I mess around with fedify a lot, it's great. It's fun to integrate with existing websites. I've thought a lot about ATProto and integrating it in similar ways. I'd love to have a look at what you're doing and how. T

I can't downvote, but this comment feels a little rude or standoffish towards someone who read what you wrote, thought about it, and gave a response. You said you didn't care for 1000 words that someone wrote about their trip abro

This thread captures the hatred for salesforce well: it is aggressively sales first. It's the antithesis of modern engineering culture that looks to provide value to customers and tech first by putting them first. Salesforce puts sales

I think that sounds like productive procrastion, it won an Ig-Nobel award. As you say, it's basically finding something you don't want to do even more than the thing you need to do, so you instead procrastinate productively by doi

This made me smile to myself a fair few times - this is really great. PostHog sounds like a sincerely well intentioned and fun place. After spending a while on there, it did start to get a little sluggish with lots of windows open. A really

As a non-US citizen - even though I've been the only Brit in remote teams of Americans - I find this really hard to make sense of. At least in the UK, if I saw this loaded on someone else's screen at work, I might raise an eyebrow

I don't doubt that they claim to feel that way, and that they feel they'll be the ones who push back against VC profiteering and enshittification. That just confirms to me that they're in the same position as any of VC backed

I was using the other definition of "seamless", meaning easy, no fuss, minimal difficulty etc.

That's fair. I was aware of that, but I wasn't thinking of that use of the word when I read it, I thought of the other meaning of "seamless". > Seamless is a word with a specific meaning within the context of VMs. The

That seems fair, but then it makes it all feel somewhat tautological: what sort of integration wouldn't aspire to be seamless, other than a beta integration. A different selection of words wouldn't have lead to this debate, which

Thanks! This was a few years ago for me. It also aligned with my personal pendulum swinging back from cloud to on prem. I switched to local pihole. I didn't really like it though, it felt a bit too toy-like. I then switched to adguard

This makes me want to say "is nothing sacred?!" I get your point from a pragmatic: this is the world we live in, work with it, not against it. I think you need to scope this approach when suggesting it though, since it's effe
