A Chromium-only web scares the hell out of me. https://www.mnot.net/blog/2022/06/22/chromium-only

Oh, I should probably re-mention:

@SDF Mastodon is still broken for offline/desktop clients. I mentioned it on bboard a few months ago and got ignored.

Funny how Facebook thinks that changing its name to Meta will make us forget how shitty they are.

I mean, naming your company after a dystopian SF trope is pretty damn telling.

Is anyone else having trouble logging in to Mastodon with a client? Trying to configure Whalebird and the site is not able to be found...
