These days we're so spoiled it's hard to comprehend how much of a game changer Firebug was back then.

🎂 19 yrs ago on this day, the legendary FireBug v1.0 launched, and had significant impact enabling debugging of a webpage in ways many had not seen. Here's the original blogpost:

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

@bsky.app needs a complete rebrand. New name, new brand, and new icon.
Even ignoring the political stuff... the whole brand is just super generic and has zero appeal.

yea. i wish bluesky branding could somehow climb out of that hole but i don’t see how at this point
I'm in the same boat! Some of my friends are interested in an open internet but are turned off by the "Bluesky branding" which they perceive as lefty and toxic. IMHO, the @atproto.com ecosystem would really benefit by having a more agnostic creation/login flow that doesn't mention Bluesky anywhere.

It looks like these updates below would update Sequoia, right?
But if you click on the ⓘ button it shows it will actually install Tahoe.
