so I can totally ditch chromium/electron

GNOME Web isn't Chromium-based and does support PWAs, so it might work for your usecase.

My office has automatic faucets in the bathroom and I've started sticking my hands under the faucet at home and wondering for a second where the water is. in c/[email protected]

Someone I know recently switched from automatic bathroom lights to manual ones. Remembering to turn them on isn't an issue, but months later everyone still forgets to turn them off.

They're not going to have open signups. It's government agencies only. Not that there's technically anything stopping Germans from joining the PR departments of our government agencies…

So I tried signing up for Twitter to do a little trolling there... in c/[email protected]

kbin.social is a Kbin instance, not a Lemmy instance, so it's not stopping lemmy.world from being the biggest Lemmy instance.
