Current status: accessing Facebook via its .onion hidden service URL facebookcorewwwi.onion/ via the @torproject@twitter.com network in @brave@twitter.com browser. And it works!

Competition breeds innovation, so I'm glad to see a competitor rising to take on Google's map dominance.

This would be an interesting business maneuver, but I dunno that the Google Home ecosystem is mature enough yet to get people to latch onto it at a rate that would make this program a success. You want usage to be extremely "sticky" so you can be sure that your ROI on each giveaway is higher than the cost, which is probably in the neighborhood of $25/speaker.

Why is the Google Contact system so weird about your own contact details? It never seems to sync info I put in about myself. Sometimes I want to share my vCard with people and I have to type out all my info again and again. Other times I send myself texts or emails from my work accounts and my apps don't pick up that the phone number is actually already attached to a phone contact: ME! 😡

Realizing that my phone has a colorblind assistance mode is life-changing. But, being colorblind all my life and having the whole world as my normal, the setting makes things on the phone look weird...

Alright, I'm 4 hours into using the touchbar on my new MacBook and I'm actually into it. It definitely needs developer support, of course, but the "quick actions" functionality in things like Outlook is super handy.

I'm like actually still in disbelief that we're watching, in real time, Intel just blow their massive lead. Like... They had all the money, all the expertise, all the market share... What happened?

I'm working on an ActivityPub guide website for coders & non-coders! It's something I wish existed before I started pixelfed.

It's pretty weird not having a company email ony smartphone.
