Which alternatives do you recommend?

I will give bluesky credit for their focus on moderation.

Watch that focus disappear once the enshittification phase starts.

As far as I understand the reports, the headline is correct.

It ran aground on a reef and got damaged beyond repair. While it is not fully submerged, the term “sunk” still applies.

I can’t find it right now, but there is some explanation in “Clean Code” why switches shouldn’t be used all over the place.

Yes, exactly that.

Your head is going to hurt even more if you are a German: The prefix “ent” usually means to lose or get rid of something. I.e. “I got rid of it” -> “Ich habe es entsorgt” so everytime I read “enshittification” I had to remind myself it’s the process of making something worse not better.

So “disenshittification” is a double knot in my brain. I propose “disshittification” as alternative.

As is tradition with MS and their complicated naming policies Visual Studio is not VS Code.

Nah, slap a ‘Data lake’ label on it and call it a day

Well, except Telegram isn’t a good tool for privacy.

There is no E2EE. Simple encryption is only available for 1:1 chats and disabled by default. Telegram doesn’t disclose their encryption methods, so there is no way to verify the (in)effectiveness. Telegram is able to block channels from their end, so there is no privacy from their end either.

Also, there is this (German) collection of online shops sorted by categories.

Pretend you have a really great programming day. You only have to attend a few meetings

ONLY a few? Everything beyond the Daily is torture!
