How long until The Times of India gets hit by a Google update? They’ve become the new Forbes, but worse.

And in Eastern Europe, it’s Telegram over WhatsApp, which I like better.

In Europe 🇪🇺, it’s WhatsApp and Spotify, not iMessage and Apple Music – something I had to get used to, being from Canada 🇨🇦.

Love it, but hate how long it will take to realise this. Why wait for tomorrow, when we have today? Let’s build things at the speed that China does!

It’s now a point of pride knowing that I am not using AI to speak for me, when so many others are.

In the shower is where my brain explodes with so many money-making ideas.

Good news.

Will we ever be able to self-host our own instance of P2? Seems like it should be an option, in the spirit of WordPress.

Google Chrome or another Chromium-based browser? What are you using?

I use Safari with many Profiles, so +1 for that. Thank you!

That’s a beautiful shot of a blue jay.

How many active Bluesky users?

Sounds about right. I’ve seen decreases for my sites in GSC from around that time. It’s bitter sweet because I want the data to reflect human engagement as much as possible. Plus, I think Ahrefs is a net-negative for the SEO industry. Many swear by Ahrefs, but it doesn’t present accurate data.

I find myself using Google AI Mode more than ChatGPT.

Many WebKit engineers and developers are also active here on Bluesky. Awesome, as Safari is such an underrated web browser. It's been my daily driver since 2008.

Worldwide, I’m currently 143rd for total push ups this week. I’m eager to start a fresh week to see how I will do, because I only started using this app yesterday, on a Wednesday.

Currently, my username is @marcus.anthony.cyganiak.eu, which is self-explanatory – my full name in the EU.

Recently, I purchased the marcus.social web domain, which begs the question—should I make @marcus.social my username on #Bluesky?

I just started following many Google Chrome engineers and developers, as part of @developer.chrome.com and @developers.google.com, and they all seem to be very active here, unlike any other social network. Great to see that the #webdev / #developer community is thriving here on Bluesky!

I’m with you on that. We’ve always been calling it masonry.

I agree, masonry is what we’ve always been calling this layout.

Exactly, I just want to use it as well.

I just started using the Push Up Counter and Tracker app by WSFU yesterday, and I already have done more push ups with this app than anyone else in Italy this week, just in 2 days!

What are you anticipating?

Whichever route I take, I will make Marcus.Social my main online profile for social media.

I purchased the marcus.social web domain.

Either I will use it for hosting a Mastodon instance for myself, or turn it into a WordPress site that I develop to behave like my own Twitter-like profile, and install ActivityPub to enable it in the Fediverse.

All I did today was code. I haven't had a day like that in years, as my days are typically multitasked with so many different jobs, but today, it was only for coding; not by choice, but purely because I couldn't stop. It felt damn good to be building something that has the potential to be great.

I was debating between Fastmail, Proton, and Tuta Mail for personal custom-domain e-mail addresses. Then I realised my iCloud+ subscription offers the ability to add five custom domains, with up to three e-mail addresses per domain. Perfect, since iCloud Mail is already my primary personal inbox.
