My understanding is that the asahi team have been doing incredible work exactly with doing the non-fun bits. They just chose to do it on the hardware of a company that's extremely hostile to this kind of effort.

I love the English language. It's so simple yet versatile, and has gone through a fascinating series of changes. The "great vovel shift" was one I encountered while searching for rhymes that only make sense when read off pape

So you're saying when not done properly, emissions have very direct negative impact on the surrounding community. Did I get that right?

A very 2026 solution: spam the web with incitations to close the tab of offending sites. Not as an appeal to fellow humans (that hasn't worked in the past) but to the AI scrapers and agents that now make up the majority of everyone&#x2

So you mean if we dont socialize the up-front cost plus the ongoing externalities, roads aren't economically sensible choice? That seems less like a problem and more like the beginning of a nice reflection...

Yet :) I'll (genuinely happily) change my opinion on this when it's possible to do twitter-like microblogging via ATproto without needing any infra from bluesky tye company. I hear there are independent implementations being built

I failed to ever see the appeal of "like twitter but not (yet) run by a nazi" and this just confirms this for me :|

Wow that event log reads like the most psychotic corporate-cult-ish group of weirdos ever.

This could probably be more profitable for you with better tagline/explanation! I have the context for what "that comment" was, might even be in the target audience, yet from the landing page I'm still not entirely sure

> There are also many people who are more concerned about privacy from businesses than from governments. We're living in an interesting time that may (or may well not!) turn out to be a pivot point in this question. People being ICE

Dear god, what about this monstrosity is supposed to be "small"?! Seriously, people should take a look at how professionals around tye world are managing just fine with anything from a cargo bike via VW caddy to sprinters....

The Reddit issue is also something that really annoys me and i wish kagi would find some way to counter it. Whenever I search for administrational things I do so in one of three languages, German, French or English depending on which contex

Not that I disagree with the article, but I wish the title was clarified to office politics. I clicked hoping to find am argument to the engineering community at large to recognize the political aspects of our work. Although I guess the

> “haunted that my failure has transformed something meaningful into something infamous.” Not a US resident, so this may be off-base, but IIUC this a student loan platform, or rather actually just a better interface to it?

Yeah this is infuriating. I read 4 languages and now I'm left trying to reverse-engineer/guess what the title I'm reading was supposed to mean. Add on top of that googles persistent (14 years and counting) inability to decide

50 miles 3 times a week? That seems like a lot . Or maybe I'm getting my miles>km conversion wrong here. Not a commute I'd accept if it's not by high speed commuter rail (and even then...)

So you're fundamentally objecting to the statement D >= C+ then? In germany we grade from 1 (best) to 6 (worst) and I always just mapped these to A (best) to F (worst) in my mind. makes perfect sense to me. :)

Except gmail pretty unexplicably filtered away stuff like a direct response from my boss, to an email I specifically sent to him half an hour ago. After a couple of these hiccups, plus hours spent trying to locate emails that I knew exist

Haha, yeah I've also given books away to one person, gotten a new copy, just to have the same book come up in a conversation with a different person and giving the new copy away. Rinse and repeat. :)

That reads a lot like complaining that the author just didn't hear the gospel...
