Last issue of @thecontinent in 2023 made me laugh out loud, the inital comic strip on page 3 nails it. https://www.thecontinent.org/_files/ugd/287178_b45db2b522d94ed1b44bdadfb5ce0069.pdf?index=true

visited the museum of communism in prague and it was fun to see all the anti-communist tropes in one place, like how bad it was that the state built a lot of housing

Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.

Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.

It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

I keep thinking about trying to write another zine about git -- for me git is something I feel totally confident using and I never really run into problems, and I really wish I could telepathically send that sense of confidence to everyone who’s struggling with git

Meta, Google, Microsoft refuse to designate some of services as 'gatekeepers' (=obligations due to EU Digital Markets Act). MS argues that Bing does not have enough users. Apple similarly, for... iMessage. Is iMessage use so low (<45mn monthly EU users)? https://www.ft.com/content/137d655b-c264-460f-bbe8-a269f0a3d8ac

Yes, you can ditch #GoogleMaps now..

https://organicmaps.app

#OrganicMaps is here. Use it while offline and feel good about a #privacy-respecting app that doesn't suck you dry of your personal information. Based on #OpenStreetMap this app is gonna blow #Google #Maps out of the water (hopefully ;)

i’m tired of clicking “open in browser” in my mastodon client to see all the replies to a post / look at a user’s profile who i don’t follow

is there any mastodon client with a “fetch more data” button or something which will automatically do this for me and show the posts to me in the client?

(right now I’m using Ivory)

if you use Linux on your personal computer: what do you like about it?

I used to be super into customizing my window manager, but now I mostly like that it's so easy to install software, and that the environment is the same as on a Linux server

(please no arguing about whether people "should" use Linux on their personal computers, I'm just curious about why you personally like it)

I am Dutch :krulorange: I live in Munich, Germany. An old friend once warned me about living in Germany. It was two sentences. It still haunts me, as it seems to be so true, but I really hope it isn't.

"Germans have this wonderful talent to find new problems in every solution. Everything is "Ja, aber" (yes, but)"

Would you agree?
