If I had a nickel for every time Microsoft created an oligarch I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

Oh, well, that's less fun.

You just reminded me I'm out of Gestating Mammal Liquid.

Apple was trying to get rid of PWAs. End of. If you used Safari: no PWAs. If you use Firefox or Edge: no PWAs.

Take a look at FRIEFUNK, a cooperative mesh WiFi network covering a number of cities in Germany. They primarily use firewalls running OpenWRT with the mesh handled by the amazing BATMAN project, which presents a standard network interface for IP traffic to run over. I'd love to live in a city where this kind of thing is possible.

The fucker's hung, too.

Apparently.
