Elevator Music on my 2023 Wrapped isn’t something I had on my bingo card.

Kagi Search Changelog:

Nov 30, 2023 – Quality of life improvements

Interesting development in my life – I’m reading a changelog for a search engine that I’m paying for.

I’m still reading all of new App Default’s and whenever I see someone using Chrome it feels weird. I know people are using Chrome, I know it works fine, but it’s always surprise to see Chrome and not Safari, Firefox or something on Chromium.

Castro Podcast app:

We believe in transparency with our community and want to share with you that we are actively seeking a new home for Castro with new owners. Our goal is to continue providing you with the app you love, but with even better features and improvements.

I wish they find Castro a new home, back in the day it was actually one of three most popular podcast apps. I miss those days!

Firefox on the brink? | BryceWray.com:

Once Firefox slips below the 2% threshold in the government’s visitor analytics, USWDS tells government web devs they don’t have to support Firefox anymore.

The biggest surprise for me was how popular Safari actually is.

Report: Threads expanding to Europe in December:

Meta’s Twitter competitor, Threads, has slowly found its own spot in the social media space and, soon, may seen an even bigger expansion as the platform is reportedly coming to Europe in December.

I wonder how popular is it actually going to be.

Why you can’t divide by zero:

I’ve always been wondering why dividing by zero is considered undefined. My intuitive answer would have always been “infinity” or “zero”. I just had a discussion about this with a collegue who happens to have a degree in mathematics, and the way they explained it made it absolutely clear why it doesn’t make sense to divide by zero.

> … I’ve not seen a list of active bloggers that long in years, outside a few directories. It’s more than double the number of sites I had in my RSS reader’s “IndieWeb & Personal Blogs” folder after many years of slow curation.

Blogging is where it’s at, again

Same! My RSS reader is BLOOMING!

It’s us!

Spotify Wrapped for YesWas | Podcast is here! Thanks for all your ears:)

When I was younger I wanted to have as many Spotify followers as possible and right now I would actually rather the other way around.

I’m doing a research about a ~thing~ and then I find this chart. You can basically put anything as its name and it can be used to prove anything. Projected food delivery market size. Projected number of people. Projected growth of the length of my cat (I don’t have a cat).

>While our process correctly weeded out folks like Fyre Festival impresario Billy McFarland and, yes, even Elizabeth Holmes––one-time superstars who all wound up fraudsters––others slipped through.

Moved to Spotify and got blessed with this masterpiece: www.youtube.com/watch

Also I think I want to host Yunohost for me and wifey. But not on local machine, but some kind of VPS. It would be nice to be able to connect from everywhere to it, have an option to sync with it and have control of my own data. Might give it a shot quite soon!
