@dahukanna@mastodon.social Here’s a piece I wrote. I was considering Boeing and Kodak as candidates but planes falling out of the sky seemed harsh to make a point. https://technical.ly/company-culture/sony-intel-leadership-tech-decline-guest-post/

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social I built a free, open-source Chromium reader extension that eliminates all distractions, which works great with uBlock. I use it with the Helium browser. Give it a whirl! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/library-reader/mjpdekbomfibfifomicibenpofdkkacc
Meta wins the gold medal for top "hire stupid, fire stupid" company, barely edging out Marc Benioff and Salesforce. https://thenextweb.com/news/meta-layoffs-may-2026-ai-restructuring-thousands

@bmispelon @adamchainz What an adventure! I’m due for a road trip myself. Life has gotten very lifey the past few months.
If you use VSCode for Python development, your editor may be acting wonky lately. Check to see if Microsoft auto-installed a "Python Environments" extension, and uninstall it. It's utter pre-alpha vibe-coded garbage that was auto-pushed to all of us! https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.vscode-python-envs&ssr=false#review-details

@jacob@social.jacobian.org In recovery, we call it Steps 8 and 9. Well, really, 4 through 9. There's been several fantastic secular books written on this over the past decade. It isn't for everyone, but it does help a lot of us.

And check out the Helium Browser if you haven't yet. It is just so much better to run with a debloated browser! https://helium.computer/
I dove into creating my first Chromium extension for the Helium browser. If you haven't tried Helium, it is a fantastic browsing experience.
The plugin will also work on Vivaldi, or even Brave, Chrome, and Edge, if you still use one of those browsers (please change if you do).
I've added light mode, dark mode, and color-blind mode, as well as serif, sans-serif, and the OpenDyslexic font for accessibility.
I haven't published it yet, but you can download and install. https://github.com/FlipperPA/library-reader

Sometimes it doesn't feel quite real. Then I remember the amazing friends I've got in my life; thank you all.
