Interesting variation on the "give us a link to our shitty spam site so we can improve its page rank" grift. Most of the time it's something like "Hello, I'm a teacher and my students wanted you to add this link!" but this one rolls in like Bluto from Popeye.

All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding Google pays for 80%+ of the development budget of all major web browsers, and soon, the US will force Google to stop supporting their…

Trying to figure out how to process this.. I love the idea of simpler browsers but I think that conversation is over.. cutting all of the funding for browser development seems like a great way to shove everyone into hyper addictive social media apps on monopolistic app stores and kill the web.

DDoS is a part of life unfortunately, of any online service, of any scale. Mastodon is far easier to DDoS because you just winnuke the crappy unpatched VPS it's being hosted on and then the hosting provider blackholes your server.

DDoS is a universal, mandatory training on resilience improvement.

The cool thing about bootstrapping too is you can attack problems that are on a longer time scale. When you get investors you're not just adding people that need exponential money back you're also adding a stopwatch.

Someone a while ago was trying to convince me that Tariff Man "read a book on economics" and was completely convinced this is all just some elaborate negotiation strategy. Amazing what a ghostwritten fantasy novel about deal-making prowess can do for one's reality distortion field.
