It uses all of your favourite "look at us being your Friends and being Cool" marketing of course

Oh boy, apparently there's a new proprietary web browser, promising to build a 'new internet'. Yay. We definitely needed more of those.

@joepie91 Or, as our "regional" honey factory puts it: "Honey from EU- and non-EU countries" (which basically only excludes Antarctica, and the Space).

Also, Dutch folks can probably guess exactly which brand this is

This tea packaging: "The rich tea is blended from various teas gathered from some of the world's finest tea growing countries."

That's it. No further detail. This is an impressive spin on "we literally put into the bag whatever we could get for cheap lmao"

I found a shipwreck I had not seen before. This was on Sully Island. The wreck was well below high tide.

(sexual) abuse as a general topic 

I wish more people acknowledged the systemic aspects of interpersonal abuse, and talked about how to *address* those on a systemic level, beyond just "consent is important" on an individual level

Google likes to claim it loves the web. Google fucking broke the web.

Cookie notices on every fucking website? They need those because they use Google Analytics or Google Ads.

Recipe sites that go on for fucking days? That’s because Google penalises websites when you leave too quickly, and they can’t show as many ads.

Obviously-bullshit machine-generated “content” designed to entice you to click ads? That’s because Google Search is a monopoly.

I’m so tired of Google.

"Don’t sweat about being 'behind the times'. If it works, it’s stable, and it’s performant, your tech stack is fine." - @Meyerweb

This. SO MUCH THIS.

It's true for work, but it's quadruply true for personal projects.

just spent several hours debugging a "tcp connect error: network is unreachable"

turns out the network was perfectly reachable and it was, as is always, DNS

"Why do people keep tweeting about COVID? We can't just --" Yes, you can. Because immunocompromised and disabled people have been implicitly sentenced to do whatever that is for our whole lives. That's why we're tweeting.

Look at this! This is in a local library. It's a place to sit in for children, shaped like a spaceship. This is awesome decoration.
