This is a product that didn’t need to be built. Since it has, I’m at least pleased there are efforts to keep them from being relegated to landfills.

Good riddance. Now do Teams.

I want companies to make robots to vacuum for me. I don’t want them to make my own drudgery time more “convenient”.

Nobody: “Now my boss can text me any time of day even when I’m doing housework!”

So disappointing. I just transitioned my personal browsing from Arc to Zen Browser because it was the closest vertical tab experience I could find. Now I hope one of the other browsers will figure out and implement good drawer-based vertical tab UI.

Having some AIs that do this and some not will only muddy the waters of what’s believable. We’ll get gullible people seeing the ridiculous and thinking “Well there’s no watermark so it MUST be true.”

Prologue on iOS does a great job of device syncing my Plex audiobook library. And no subscription requirement for once.

This became my work browser a few months back and I love how it just does its job and doesn’t get in my way.

TimesSquare/Alley was the place to be for gaming news. And webrings were more useful than search engines.

When Discord enshittifies to the point it shows ads in chat, Instagram will be ready to swoop in and capture the market with the same shitty ads.

It’s not an unreasonable request. If the shoe was on the other foot I’d want to be screening every American coming to our border to check if they were active on topics like annexation or shudder cyber truck enthusiasm.

That’s cute. He thinks people will still be using WordPress when he retires as he continues to alienate customers and developers week after week.

I’ve been happy with Hover for several years. They don’t bug me and they’re owned by Tucows so they’ve got decades-old staying power.

Well shoot if Firefox goes I guess we’re back to carrier pigeons and smoke signals.

Explicit? Hardly. Just two good pals suckin’ toe.

Why use a browser?

Just learn how to parse raw HTTP responses. That’s all a browser does, with less protection.

Part of the reason why I’ve recommended US based services to my Canadian clients was because of its speed due to proximity. Now that net neutrality has been gutted and ISPs are free to artificially slow down their services a la carte, the speed advantage is questionable. Now I recommend services in Canada where I find them and European alternatives when no closer ones are available.

I think it’s harder to find the signal from the noise of sameness.

I used to be able to find interesting bands and artists by watching The Wedge on MuchMusic or listening to my local alternative radio station. Now those stations all play Top 40 and TV shows got replaced by algorithmically curated beige.

As much as I am complaining I’d love if somebody could recommend some useful sources for somebody who wants to navigate away from Apple Music and Spotify streaming land.

It totally did. I am old enough to remember laughing at Abe Simpson and now I am become!

I remember when modern music was interesting enough to want to pirate.

I eat meat, too.
