Answer: yes it is, I think

Is this related to the defunct mu.app from a few years back?

Um, Firefox extension maybe?

This seems to be left out of the conversation when comparing Bluesky with the wider fediverse. The AT protocol relies on a bespoke setup and is complicated to implement. ActivityPub is comparatively simple, and can be implemented on pretty every thing with just a few endpoints.

How does it compare to Pixiljs?

I’ve found using frameworks like Love, or Pixijs more approachable when coming from a programming background. It’s more like learning the library rather than an entirely new approach to building software.

There’s multiple feeds, which is one of its main features. There’s user created feeds, which are just aggregates of tags and keywords. These are alright, but prone to issues with cross domain terminology. ie, say you want a football/soccer feed and use the word “spurs”, you’ll end up having it filled with basketball and rodeo posts.

The two default feeds are your followed accounts in chronological order, the other is an algorithmic feed. The algorithmic feed is pretty good to be honest. I “disliked” around 20 political posts the first day, and it has seemed to responded fairly quick to that feedback.

You literally can’t use your mouse to copy/paste in google docs if you’re using Firefox. If that isn’t anticompetitive, I don’t know what is.

Whenever I’m introduce a friend to the JLeague, 90% of the time the first they compliment is the lack of gambling adds. It really is a breath of fresh air. And I believe that if the JLegaue used this point in its international marketing, it would work to get a lot of people tired of gambling ads to want to follow the league.

I’m not sure it’s a great idea to name your product/company, who’s goal is to make it easier to fly, an homage to one of the most famous disasters and mysteries in the history of flight.

How do they keep the watch from locking up while using it? My Apple Watch will always auto lock after a few seconds if not on my wrist and I’m not constantly tapping the screen.

> That’s what the internet will focus on, but it goes both ways. Making it less risky to hire and fire employees makes companies more likely to hire more people quickly.

Because this is more often the case. It’s so easy for companies to fire employees that it becomes the employer’s goto strategy for dealing with any kind of turmoil (caused by the employee or otherwise).

I do agree that it’s somewhat easier get hired in the States compared to other markets with more employee protections.

Here in Japan, it’s common for small companies (startups etc) to hire new employees on contract with the “promise” of being seishain (company employee) at the end of the contract. This lowers the risk for the employer, is often terrible for the new joiner, and is a huge red flag.

It’s often used by startups who just can’t afford, or can’t find someone to do the role they’re hiring for. I.e. they list the role as a SE but really want a PM; new joiner enters the company and is let go after a month because they don’t know how to be a PM. It also disproportionally affects foreign workers, as they don’t know all their rights as workers and could be limited in the scope of companies they can work for (due to language or visa restrictions).

Yes, it might be “harder” to find a job since respectful companies are more cautious, but I’d take that over the “come into work on Monday to find the pink slip on my desk”.
