Mozilla's killing FakeSpot, only 2 years after acquiring it. While other companies are shoving AI down your throat for things you don't want, Mozilla had a trusted tool they could significantly enhance with better AI, and expand to, oh, I don't know, email scanning, web content scanning, etc.

And just spitballing, charge a subscription fee for advanced scanning functions? From a privacy-forward independent company?

Oh, and Pocket too, just for funsies.

Mozilla is discontinuing Pocket and Fakespot

Reasons cited include changes in the way users consume content on the web and an unsustainable business model.

Been laying low online. Election season is always messy online, but this time, it's bonkers. Decided to pop in and check on my handful of masto buds today. Good to see folks are still doing well.

Before crowbars were invented, crows would drink at home.

The local crowbar was shut down because of all the murders.

Police are still investigating the caws.

New bone, who dis?

Meet Ali and Jessica, a young couple who lost their dream wedding when the venue owner sent them a bizarre anti-#LGBTQ email. But that's not the end of the story! You might not believe what happened next. It's fabulous and just keeps getting more fabulous! Details: 👇

Lesbian Couple Loses Dream Wedding, Neighbors Rain Down Love

Once upon a fairy tale, I fell achingly in love with Jason, a beautiful young man from Australia. I dreamt of a big wedding in the glorious Notre Dame Basilica at the heart of Montreal’s Old Port…

In 2017, I crocheted myself a solar system costume. The headpiece is mounted on a bike helmet for stability (I got that tip from some folks who build showgirl costumes). The tunic is made from fine black linen yarn, very matte, very tedious, much like I imagine space is most of the time. The planets are made using an online sphere pattern generator, so that I could vary the sizes in a predictable way; they are strung on a fishing line with beads, and suspended from an elastic collar, also crocheted. They are also kept in place with a beaded "asteroid belt", located between Mars and Jupiter, of course. Photographed at Manhattan Beach Pier. All second-hand yarns, though I had to ask around for enough yellow to make the sun so large. #solarsystem #crochet #costume #planets #sun #astronomy #planetary #yesplutotoo

Since moving to the USA I have been attempting to understand the place a little better by reading its literature. I have finally got around to reading the great edifice...

Welp, that wildlife camera has seen it's last wildlife. Finally found which of our nocturnal visitors kept knocking our camera down...

Tech rant of the day...

My Apple Watch upgraded itself to WatchOS 10. I do not like it at all. It's now more steps to do the things I use it for daily, slower to launch apps, makes the "Walkie Talkie" icon persistent, which you have to disable the feature to remove, and added/changed nothing that actually improves usability for me.

Just change for changes sake.

Makes me want to research Pixel watches now. Meh.
