But it is engagement to their product managers, and in turn, stakeholders.

Not genuine engagement, mind you, but measurable nonetheless.

There are a million ways to improve this pile of garbage called Facebook marketplace.

But make no mistake, they don't care about your experience in the slightest.

The textbox and the button were always there to drive user engagement. Number go up!

I like this take. There was something unique how each bulletin board was customized to the administrator's taste.

And it was up to them to provide plenty onboarding to new users, so they're not overwhelmed by the hundreds of subcategories, and thousands of threads in each.

We used to be part of no more than a handful of forum communities. Maybe that changed.

Qwant. A French provider. No account needed, fast, result pages are clean and relevant enough.

Do you use a CDN in front of it?

Would something like Cloudflare help with bot detection?

Shout-out to Vivaldi. If you're looking for alternatives, give it a chance.

The engine monoculture is not great, but they're a small team and doing a great job to create a useful browser.

The tapes didn't contain lies, but the harsh truth. Gyurcsány addressed the lack of performance of his government.

The public didn't want to hear that and gave supermajority to Orbán for the next decade and a half.

Yes, all of the above.

I pay for Google Workspace Business Standard. The value per dollar is astronomical.

In some ways, GCP is ahead of the pack.

I'd love to see big tech broken up, and I'd like to think many Google divisions would do well on their own.

One exception may be YouTube, where so much of the cost is subsidized. But then I'd be happy to pay double for premium as it's one of the main sources for entertainment in our household.

Not rolled out on the phone app, but having the option on desktop so soon was a pleasant surprise.

The GBD-200 I have can receive notifications.

Clippy is a dreamchild of the nineties, when IT corporations dared to have fun.

Apparently it's not allowed anymore...

Email service providers often offer landing pages.

I've built my fair share of 'coming soon' pages, and it was never a good use of time.

But this cuts both ways. The insurers chose to provide their services in the area for the amount of money agreed upon. If anyone was more aware of the risks and probabilities, it's them.

Why do they get to pull out now when it's time to hold their end of the contract?

I hear you. I also sense people generally are becoming more anxious. More and more we took granted for decades has a question mark next to it.

But I didn't expect the author to feel happiness, or be grateful for the state of things. However, we can pause and realize how much people still do (for a salary or otherwise) for each other, despite things getting worse for them.

A good bike road with one bad turn is still mostly a good bike road. Still took a lot of caring to build. There's only so much capacity to fix mistakes.

Another example of everything is amazing and nobody is happy.

Maybe not everything. And certainly not nobody. But there's so much to be grateful for in most people's lives, if we all just calibrated our perspectives a little.

What do you mean a little more? More like several truckloads more. :) Keycloak is great, but it's a beast.

'Deny' is the trivial choice here I think.

I know it's just branding, but I think it's the other way around: react-router is now all remix.

Interesting!

Curious though that the compliance rules are strict enough it warrants distinct keypairs, but not that strict for the devs to use dedicated hardware.

Reads like LLM output.

Is there a risk with not using different keys for work and personal?

The private bits are all in the same place: if one is compromised, so are the rest.

How painful was the transition to freelancing for you?

This is super cool.

Last time I searched only https://fdw.dev came up (from Supabase).

Crucially, their object storage doesn't have an S3-compatible API. I'll migrate the day they add it.

Monthly active users. It signaled growth and activity and real interest from living people. Now it includes scrapers, good bots and bad bots. A number so inflated, it might as well be completely made up.

I go back and forth between outsourcing and self-hosting.

Gave up NextCloud a few years ago and went all in on using Google services. Now I think I can return to using more apps running on infra I rent.

The org can ignore the needs of employees at its own peril.

Me too. It's called mixed-handedness.

Very impressive changelog.

Bit sad the UUIDv7 PR didn't make the cut just yet:

https://commitfest.postgresql.org/49/4388/

In this case, an expansion. :)

Agile was ruined because of this need to be predictable and adaptable to plans.

And business folks often overlook that it is predictable and adaptable -- just not in the way project managers were educated in the old days (or even to this day, I don't know) expect.
