You can host your own Bluesky instance and federate across instances, with all the data you host stored in an open an portable format, can you do the same with GitHub?

Interestingly I noticed in a bunch of places in Europe, TripAdvisor was much better just due to higher usage / more data than Google. TripAdvisor's UI is pretty clunky but the network effect of just having enough people using it i

I mean by all means, stick with Google and its ever-declining search quality and ever-expanding monopoly power while it builds AI tools for Israel to automate the slaughter of civilians, instead of a search engine startup that... has some m

Is Yandex == Russia? Is West == unquestionably good? Do you have the same stance on Israel?

The increased fuzzy interpretation is Google's greatest downfall. It takes away any ability to use it as a power user or for super-specific stuff. No Google, you don't know better than me. I need something really specific and you&

Kagi completely replaced Google for me except for location-based "food near me" type searches. I understand location/place results particularly with reviews are a really tough thing to do as a company, but it is one really

Have you ever really paid attention to the members of the US House of Representatives? There are some strong outliers but most are way below the bar of random selection. Do-nothing political nepo babies who are nothing but loud and in a ger

These two things are one in the same. Every data broker knows exactly who their ultimate clients are. That's why Palantir never broke a sweat losing bazillions of dollars for years and years and years. Their final goal is to be essenti

Yes and PFAS/PFOS is now getting directly linked to rise in colorectal cancers. Personally I would prioritize water filtering for PFAS over microplastics worries if you have limited budget to start changing consumption patterns.

The problem is not only do all text labels have different sizes in one language, they also have completely different unrelated sizes in other languages. Standardized icons can be laid out easily regardless of language

It drives me crazy that em-dashes are supposedly a smell for AI now. The em-dash is a great and underused bit of punctuation. I am just glad I am not in college dealing with all the AI and faulty AI detection crap happening. Ridiculous fals

For me the hangup is that async is Still Hard. Just a ridiculous amount of internal implementation details exposed in order to just write, like, an http middleware. We looked at proposing Rust as the second blessed language in addition to G

I think this is actually a human struggle - I add Conclusions to my blog posts / dev guides because it feels awkward to just end with the last step. But it also always feels like I am just awkwardly restating things I just said. It&#x2

I tend to agree with this basic argument that feckless do-nothing liberalism leads to fascism. If the existing power structure is actively, visibly, constantly working to make people's lives better than fascist messaging is far less ef

Yes and by and large things that "they won't teach you in college" are because they have been already looked into and rejected by any serious academic. These institutions are not above criticism (particularly in regards to ec

Like for desktop apps? I guess this differs fundamentally from Chromium in that... you do not run the "entire" browser like in Electron?

Kagi is starting to build their Orion browser which is WebKit-based for Linux as of this year. I never do anything close enough to the browser engine to know, but apparently devs like WebKit a lot?

In my experience Ubuntu has the worst issues with displays of any distro. To be fair I stay away from NVIDIA to, I would probably run a separate headless box for those GPU workloads if I needed to

to be fair with the power on most people's laptops and phones now I think we tend to lose track of just how little "1 CPU" is if you're not just running like, a small web app.

A couple of those annoyances are just library developers being too lazy to give informative error types which is far from a Rust-specific problem
