Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.

Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.

It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

Whenever I talk about dumb NPM packages, I always see people missing the point, blaming it on web developers, the tooling, or NPM itself, these are just symptoms

Packages like isOdd, leftpad, etc only exist because JS is fucked, it's always been fucked and will never be unfucked

in the late 90s, steve ballmer snorted a line of cocaine, went on stage, and screamed about microsoft windows completely drenched in sweat, and every fortune 500 guy in the audience was like "my company needs this product". and that's why every computer on the planet right now is dogshit to use

We got a new microwave! The manual of this one seemingly decided, fuck it, teach the fundamentals and the rest shall follow? A+

Um. Someone just ported Audacity.

TO THE F**KING BROWSER.

the fediverse is a scam by icann to sell more TLDs

It's a little weird that you can go out and buy a computer, a Gameboy, a telephone, a camera, a light bulb, and a power strip.

And if you get home and open them up, they're all running ARM chips.

@torproject announced they will participate in Gitcoin funding round and everyone immediately started attacking them, saying it's a scam, and telling them that they don't need the money (lol).

Well, Gitcoin is basically a crowdfunding platform. It's definitely not a scam, and I know many FOSS projects that used it. Also, Gitcoin is actually interesting because they use an innovative donation matching mechanism called Quadratic Funding (see https://www.wtfisqf.com).

There's nothing wrong with Tor Project using this platform to raise more money. Trying to prevent them from doing so is absolutely insane, and this is what brainwashing by "web3 is going just great" does to you. This account is slandering good projects while constantly promoting actual scams which no one would ever heard of otherwise.
