   I wonder why the two biggest recent layoffs were by the two largest (US-based) social networks, is this the end of an era? And where is all that advertisement money going now? As a side note, it's crazy to think that Meta stocks are cu

   Make no mistake, Mastodon is making history right now: At this point no matter what happens next many many people will stay in the fediverse. Interesting times!

    Academics, scientists, and engineers. Almost every non-institutional account I used to follow in Twitter is now actively using Mastodon. The only "category" of people I haven't seen migrating yet is independent journalists, a

    All my family and about half of my friends are still using it. In, almost everyone who I know who joined during that time stayed, but most still use WhatsApp and Telegram as well.

    That's interesting, I often find the tooling one of the best things that FP languages offer. In OCaml for instance I found Dune to be fantastic and extremely intuitive. Another very good experience I had was with Elixir and Hex. In Has

    I highly prefer physical because I already spend too much time in front of a screen, plus I like the versatility they offer (e.g. highlighting, making notes, bookmarking, moving them around, etc.). The only digital books I have bought were
