Oh there are so many more problems.

Privacy, anonymity, security, centralisation of the Fediverse, the proliferation of the Mastodon API and quirks in place of ActivityPub, inspiring proprietary browsers to do the same in order to embrace-extend-extinguish, the inevitable commercialisation of the theoretical Mozilla Fediverse instance, inevitable breaking changes when Firefox introduces their own "helpful" features...

Firefox is a bloated, controlled-opposition browser. And it needs to remain at the very least a browser. Considering some kind of fedi integration is rediculous.

Terrible idea and article (no offense).

I've been ARMY since No More Dream. Since Jimin was jamless.

For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

--

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.

I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.

This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

Do you know any small (?) projects I could browse to learn by example?

I've been trying to get into for ages, but most tutorials are either philosophical/historical or only cover the basics. Take hautils[1], a collection of small POSIX utilities written in /#harelang, which demonstrates digestible common programming practices, which would be out of scope for the official tutorial. Is there an analogue project for scheme?

Feel free to boost.

> [...] an important announcement: I will migrate all my repositories and projects from Sourcehut to Codeberg in the following days (including Husky). Over the last year I tried to make myself comfortable with the email workflow, but over time, I felt that workflow is not suitable for me.

Awh... All that contributor frustration! I understand you just want Husky development to progress.

Okay, fine, actual #introduction . I've been on the Internet or social media by the handle Albatross since 1977.
In 1983 I created the world's first #MMORPG company, GamBit MultiSystems, and our franchisees went on to start some big-name game companies.
In 1991 I helped co-write the Internet Gopher protocol, RFC 1436.
I've been in infosec since 1996 and I'm heartily tired of keyboards.
I've written books and plays and shoot pictures. I have 3 terrific adult kids.

Yep.

Also, shouldn't the "Edited at .." thing be more attention grabbing? Maybe keep it small, but give "Edited" a strong colour, jet pink? To mitigate edit abuse.
