I use Linux at home and Mac at work. I use Ghostty simply to have the same terminal on both systems.

Same here.

I use gemini for everything not-coding, from doing research, to have custom personas for more niche topics (and feeding more detailed knowledge in these cases).

For coding and image editing, right now I find ChatGPT superior. And for software architecture designs or planning Claude is the best since a while. I still have to try Grok to be fair.

No such problem on Mastodon/ActivityPub.

Or join a European Mastodon server and solve the problem at the root.

That is not the point.

The point is that without talking with Bluesky, you cannot start your own ATProto product or you'll get throttled from the network.

But Bluesky does not solve these points:

- content not in line with the political left is censored

- sure, you have your data in your PDS, but it is de-facto useless if the central identity server of Bluesky goes down

- ActivityPub and Nostr solve this already without being owned by a company

- you cannot easily and cheaply have an ATProto instance. AP and Nostr solve this already

The nightmare of the Wsocial rollout is a testament of the massive control Bluesky has on the ATProto network.

If Wsocial was on ActivityPub or Nostr nothing similar would have happened.

ATProto has serious centralisation problems, baked into the design. And it makes sense, considering it came out of a Twitter R&D experiment to "decentralise" Twitter itself. Pure federation was never part of the initial design.

ActivityPub and Nostr solve the issue already.

Good.

The vast majority of self-help books out there are ghost-written upsales trash.

You think Google cares.

Google doesn't care they do not control iOS. Google cares to have their products everywhere. For many years Google apps were better on iOS than on Android, because on Android they just preinstall them while on iOS they need to be installed explicitly.

Android is not a Google product, it is just a tool for Google to collect data. If they manage to collect data via Apple Intelligence they are going to do it. Regardless of what Apple marketing says.

Good point…

To be honest, I wish Thunderbird would become part of LibreOffice, to become a real contender to MS Outlook/MS Office.

Mozilla is managing Thunderbird as a second class citizen since way too long.

Really annoying, I was starting to use it for a few niche communities instead of Reddit.

If they relaunch, I hope they develop something integrated with the fediverse. I believe the time to build walled gardens is over, plugging with the fediverse might give them a running start to build something g together with the wide fediverse community, maybe something easier to use for non-techies and well moderated.

We will see I guess…

Rust/Loco is unironically the most interesting framework right now.

Loco follows up the Rails formula pretty closely, and makes easier to learn Rust by taking care of a load of boilerplate code.
