Anecdote: yesterday i exported my bookmarks into an html file and then asked for a script that will make a webpage out of them. with a search. and favicon download from domain. better than any bookmark bar imho.

This is a great idea, thanks. I built an IPv6 only webhost in Digital Ocean a while ago as a learning exercise and it’s been sitting idle. Making a personal portal sounds like a fun project.

Microsoft Teams developers, please come @ me.

I work at a enterprise tech company that has kinda of a monopoly on its market. The hate I get when I mention I work there is so big… I can only imagine what a MS Teams dev would get these days. The worst is when they complain about the UI… when I’m one of the few frontend focused devs there.

…wouldn’t this make it an advertiser’s dream?

when i found out that pantone was purchased by xrite i didn't know who xrite was. now im of the opinion they do color right-er.

Human rights are very expensive in russia.

Yes, also in Guantanamo Bay, very expensive! And in Abu Ghraib, very very expensive! And these mean "drug transport boats" in the Caribbean, very very expensive to just kill them without charge or trial.

Have you ever been in russia?
