the magic of gossiping! Let me know how it goes <3

Wrote a little piece about getting back into #SecureScuttlebutt #development. Today marks three months since I decided to fork and improve #Patchwork:

#SSB still my favourite #decentralization technology :3

Hey @bsky.app , what a new low to have a verified #ICE account. That is despicable. While the world is horrified at those gestapo wannabe’s, you’re here being part of the problem. Shame on your decision makers lack of backbone.

This was a really good blog post on the reasons to write a blog and how the challenges of making one parallel the knowledge crafting and distribution during the enlightenment.

I guess BlogCat will remain Firefox only for now. Sorry folks.

Or that they don't accept an array of files, making it a lot harder to load the browser polyfill

And random manifest key changes.

It is death by a thousand paper cuts. It would take me a ton of effort to support Chrome and Firefox from the same codebase, it might not even be possible.

Don't get me started on the whole offscreen page API cause service workers have no DOM

I wanted to port my feed reader #WebExtension to #Chrome, currently I been shipping it for #Firefox only.

Google's implementation of Manifest v3 and its requirements are bonkers. The whole switch to strange service workers instead of background scripts is very odd.

those snowflakes are less offensive than Tahoe even though they are distracting. That is how bad Tahoe is

The amount of AI bullshit in ClickUp is making me want to use another product. Not only they splashed two modals today advertising thew new agentic whatever, but they also added three AI action buttons to the interface and there's no clear way to disable all that stuff.

Absolutely brilliant post about how #macOS Tahoe is a #design car crash in terms of their icon usage:

Yesterday, I was reading #NewtonOS Human Interface Guidelines and I almost cried.

It’s all about oil, again….

I can't tell you how TIRED I am of copying and pasting the same text into five different silos. When will this ridiculous system that claims to be the web, get its shit together and start acting like the web (ie interop).

attn @pfrazee -- why don't you become a leader here.

Oh #Mozilla please, just focus on #Firefox as a web browser centered around people. Stop with this AI bullshit.

Wrote about it here:

And with the new CEO it feels like my writing is quite topical.

#Jolla is doing a pre-order for a new #phone. This is your chance to get a made for #SailfishOS phone.

In the current #mobile landscape dominated by #android and #ios, this is a welcome attempt to bring something new into the world.

#Bun is joining #Anthropic, time to uninstall it. No ground should be given to AI companies. If they encroach on your workflow, we'll never get rid of them.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

We endorse this important public announcement.

oh really? Can you send me some screenshots? I never tried it on a chromium based browser.

That is the #farright bias in big tech. They cater for #neoliberal and #conservative twats. They happy to ban and enforce safety when it is a #leftwing discourse.

Fuck this shitty platform.

This is what you get when you bet on platforms outside your control. We never signed up for this bot.

Telegram is known for harbouring far right groups and hate groups, but that seems to be ok. Now when you try talking about politics and anarchism in a group, you get the ban

After reaching to support, he received a message from them saying they won't lift the ban. That it is in place for the safety of their users.

Even after I — an admin on said group — marked the bot action as false positive (the bot is not on the group), he still restricted.
