This fucking Free Our Feeds bullshit is basically trying to do for Bluesky what Mozilla does for Google.

And guess what, there’s Mozilla’s executive director and president on as custodians alongside two guys from AI companies and the executive director of Meta partner Social Web Foundation.

I’m so bloody sick and tired of bloody Silicon Valley asshats sucking all the oxygen out of the room with their bullshit and I truly hope the folks roped into legitimising it realise this and distance themselves as quickly as possible (you know who you are).

that. #gafam force you into paths you never wanted to enter. then they say, as you've chosen this path, you have to i.e. create a video showing that you app fulfils weird compliance rules. keeping devs busy for days with #bullshit. all for the user, of course


I looked at Librewolf and it seemed like it'd be perfect. Was still able to send tabs around from machine to machine and sync bookmarks and stuff, which is the thing I suspected wouldn't work. All worked okay, was just firefox without the bullshit they do these days.

Until it just threw javascript errors on my TTRSS install and I couldn't read my newsreader.

Only on my desktop machine mind, it was fine on the laptop.

Maybe I should try harder. Perhaps it was just a fleeting thing that would be fixed next version.

That #Metaverse #bullshit is definitely not the kind you should waste your tiny funds on.

I think that @blender would have more use for this tech but not a messenger system like yours.

People explicitly chose #Matrix in order to not have to deah with #VR bullshit and screaming kids in discord.

So I guess I'll stick with #IRC, #XMPP & #Zulip instead...
