Remember the new @mozilla CEO whose first action was to post a link to her Linkedin profile?
Some said I was harsh that we should let her the benefit of doubt.
So here are the first true actions: firing 60 people working on useless products to focus the company on its true mission.
The useless products?
- Relay (privacy, protection against spam)
- VPN (privacy)
- Mozilla.social (Mastodon)
- Monitor (privacy)
True mission to focus:
- AI (???)

currently writing a mastodon bot thing in rust using megalodon
it is... a very okay API wrapper. for some reason it takes ownership of everything you pass into it in every API call, so you have to constantly clone string parameters, which is very much not in the vibe of rust.
i found elefren, which has a much nicer design and properly supports pagination (unlike megalodon), but it hasn't been updated in three years, and the upstream repo was deleted, so i can't really use that
i miss mastodon.py

@likeazir back when i set my instance up, almost everyone who was self-hosting ended up going with wasabi because they were really cheap
looking at backblaze's website, they seem to be about the same price as wasabi was back then, so either they used to cost more, or people just didn't know about them, which seems unlikely given how big a name they are

Baldur's Gate 3 hits over half a million Steam user reviews - ranked 19th most popular
Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios has managed to hit a mark not many games do, as it's crossed over the half a million mark on Steam for user reviews with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating overall.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
What's that? A game without a season pass and $1000 of DLC AND it released on GOG without any DRM AND it's doing good? That should be impossible according to the "gaming industry" at large!
I love how much of a middle finger to the corporate mouthpieces this game is.

A little-advertised bridge just appeared between the Fediverse and Twitter founder Dorsey's new social network. It intends to bridge accounts that don't opt out.
Doing this as opt out is a pretty immoral thing to do. Also unclear how legal opt-out bridges are in some countries. The bridge is using these domains:
snarfed.org
brid.gy
Server admins may want to defederate these to prevent their members being bridged without their knowledge or permission.
(via @mastodonmigration )
@minneyar
One thing that you should learn about homegrown and feditips is that misrepresentation of information is something that they have done a lot and continue to do. Honestly in my opinion it's extremely unprofessional, maybe not the greatest idea to follow their advice.
