I wonder if just their DKIM selector got stolen or someone owned their AWS accounts as well?

I was there in their earlier years. Ecosia set the standard for me what an ethical company should be like.

And hey odiroot ;)

Nix allows me to override most of that, and I can share home manager config with my Debian workstation.

- it writes the current status into .local/state/pomoglorbo for i3status/xbar - it is very configurable, including cmd hooks to run after a Pomodoro/break finishes or starts

The layout is compact, and it runs well over SSH/Mosh/Tmux.

Again, there are exceptions to everything, but WCAG 2.1 says UIs shouldn’t fully rely on color to convey information (please correct me if I am wrong), the same goes for icons.

I can see how other sectors and industries will treat this differently (think color bands on resistors or topographical maps), but for me, creating a SaaS product with a focus on accessibility, I have almost completely given up on this topic.

Charts, statistics and so on are way easier to make accessible when using good old HTML tables.

The increase in product quality is marginal when optimizing for color.

I was able to see how limited our devices are when it comes to high chroma colors and I was only able to select purple. We are fooling ourselves and our users if we keep using HSL and think it’s acceptable.

On the other hand, a few years ago I accidentally triggered PiP in mobile Safari, and it worked so inconsistently especially on YouTube when switching to another app, that I dread using it.

(Recently invidious showed how to do it properly)

We are so commonly assuming that Google has the secret juice that makes search work, and we are so deep in that we can’t trace our steps back and see if this statement still holds in 2023 or not!

Same goes for companies perpetuating the myth that they only hire mega-brained geniuses. That is far from the truth! Most exceptional companies are bound to regress to the mean at some point :)

As a consumer, having my freedom of choice so severely limited appears decisively anti-capitalist. Ffs Firefox please remove Google as the default.

What is surprising to me is how low the business side skills of most freelancers are. E.g., they don’t have a grasp of double entry bookkeeping, despite doing the blue tax declaration (青色申告). And as soon as there is a complicated payable or receivable scenario, the simple data entry freee and the like provide breaks down.

In my opinion the general skill level is pretty low. To me it is no wonder that the tax agency organizes tax lawyer led study groups, we need more of that.

Again, no surprise that people freak out over this system, but it‘s been years in the making. And the fact that sole entrepreneurs have been able to “pocket in“ the VAT so to say has always felt like a massive ripoff to me. This is especially so because the tax burden is even higher for me as a corporation here.

Being from Germany, having proper rules for VAT deduction appears as the most normal thing to me.
