Having a garage sure does sound nice!

This is how the Daleks come about.

Freenode was smoothly recombobulated into Libera Chat, so the meltdown shouldn't have affected much.

I have found google to be aggravating enough these days that I've experimentally switched my default search engine to Yahoo. It feels a lot like the old (good) google, though only having 5 results per page is a bit disappointing. So far so good, will probably stick to it for a while.

I'm old enough to remember what AltaVista search and the rest were like before Google.

It feels exactly like that today.

Google didn't need to improve much over the years to stay in business; they only needed to keep ahead of the SEO spammers. They did that for a while. But now we have SundarGoogle which expended active energy getting worse and worse and worse.

Google is done.

Short term driven thinking for sure.

I’m loving KAGI search, wasn’t a fan of DDG.

Agreed. Interesting that Yahoo was your choice. I may try it as well (have experimented with DDG and Bing a bit, but haven't used Yahoo since it was the only option back in the day).

I've gone completely off piste and started using Yandex. It's excellent! More Russian results, of course, but I can generally find what I'm after.

I'm always mildly surprised to remember that Yahoo still exists. I'd honestly forgotten that they even had a search engine in the first place.

Why Yahoo, might I ask? It's just Bing engine with another name...

Yahoo just feels less cluttered than the others, and that counts a lot in my book.

You feel Yahoo is less cluttered than DDG?

When Steve Jobs first announced iMessage on stage, he said it would later be open with a standard specification. Sadly, Apple never delivered on this promise.

Apple rarely delivers on promises that involve allowing people out of their walled garden.

Remember that, for the longest time, just disconnecting your phone number from iMessage was... very much not easily done or guaranteed to work at all.

“Improvements”. Sure, sure.

Beaming desires directly to your skull is obviously the next step. Then we can make sure you want to buy a PlausibleBurger as soon as you get your paycheck.

No, but you could build a version of bootstrap widget library on top of tailwind, if that was your cup of tea.

Bootwind? Tailstrap?

I bet there's a market...

You jest, but I know there's someone out there who's working on a project with one of those names exactly. Or, someone just saw your comment and will start soon. And the world keeps churning on! I admit, I would be interested in checking out a project like that.

So Headless UI?

A lot of projects use tailwind + headless UI
