And if you want more detail on why I left iNat, I wrote about that too: https://kueda.net/blog/2026/01/06/why-i-left-inat

Why I Left iNaturalist

After almost 18 years, I left iNaturalist, the product and organization I helped create. I left because I don’t believe the current Leadership team is pointing the product in the right direction, and I don’t think they are managing their talented staff in an empathetic or effective way. If you’d like me to continue working on natural history software, support me on Patreon.

Souvent je me dis que notre société manque d'écoute (et je ne parle même pas de la classe politique...)

Trump has staged an unscheduled, midair rapid disassembly of the global system of trade. Ironically, it is this system that prevented all...

It has been a nightmarish year for the #ClimateMovement, but still, the momentum created by victories from the previous decades can be celebrated as we see it coming to fruition: on this New Year's Eve, I'll be cheering for the #CarbonBorderAdjustmentsMechanism starting to take effect 🥳

This will and already has effects worldwide. It's no anticapitalist solar punk utopia, but I'll take the win (and enjoy it before the carbofascists find some way to ruin it all)

I don't think I'll stop using Firefox anytime soon.
Yes, their management are fucking idiots and it's annoying that I'll have to disable new AI features whenever they release them..

But the alternative is to use something Chromium-based, which would make Google's domination of web technology absolute - and Google is 100x more evil than Mozilla ever could be.

I hope this fucking bubble pops before Mozilla fucks up Firefox so badly that it becomes completely unusable
