In recent months I have been to gigs by: feminists group teaching girls how to form a punk band full of trans solidarity, the Glasgow music scene raising money for refugees and a festival full of skins and ageing punks protesting the far right. Every day I get up and the internet tries to tell me the world is the opposite of the one I experience in real life, it's a weird feeling

Fun new #Firefox feature just landed in nightly. Ever sick of background tabs playing audio and not being able to find them? You can now type "shush" in the url bar to get a button that will mute the audio. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2019338)

It's a Firefox Relase Day!

One of the projects I work on is being released, the TrustPanel has replaced the seperate lock + shield panels in the Urlbar. Got rid of one icon in the urlbar and saved space and the result should hopefully be a bit easier and more pleasant to use.

Everybody to Kenmure Street is in the cinemas now, really looking forward to seeing it. Reminded me to go back through some photos from the day.

HotWax @ HouseGuest

Funnily enough it was exactly 1 year ago that HotWax played Nice N Sleazy supported by The Froobz (who were also playing HouseGuest).

So much has happened in a year it felt like it must have been more than a year ago. Great to see them again on top form.

Vigilanti @ HouseGuest 2025

This was a wild show to randomly stumble into, shame to hear they split last month but glad I managed to catch them before.

Heard the cheap tickets for this years HouseGuest are almost gone.

@indutny@mean.engineer @Gargron@mastodon.social I work on the Firefox UI, we arent "obsessed" nor focussed on AI, most of us are not working on AI. Some people are working on AI, some of it may be useful, some of it may be part of the overhyped bubble which I fully agree we are in. When you read the clickbaity headlines about Firefox, probably worth remembering what headlines you read about Mastodon and how accurate you considered them to be.

Former Champ @ Leith Cricket Club

Loved this gig, dreamy guitar pop, in a similiar vein to The Beths (who are one of my favourites).

2 typical examples for today, if you seen the rant about how Firefox "SHARE FUCKING EVERYTHING", thats very obviously not even close to being true, but reality doesnt stop the angry mob sharing it. Next up today, "our enterprise company will uninstall firefox if you ship with vpn", "we dont ship vpn to enterprise users", "how do you detect enterprises, thats creepy" ... according to "privacy advocates" if statements are now creepy ...

Sad to hear about Mikeal Rogers passing.

A long time ago I was reading a book about an old famous OSS project he was involved in then suddenly shortly after I got to work with him.

He started @pouchdb@fosstodon.org and then guided me to maintain it, teaching me about OSS and community along the way. He recommended me for my current job and one of the few people I kept in touch during my hiatus from the tech community.

Honestly looking back the impact he had on where I am now is huge, will be missed.

Radhika supporting Former Champ @ Leith Cricket Club

Beautiful sound and a very wholesome gig, seeing a Dad + Daughter on stage together was really touching.

@tommi@pan.rent I mean I cant be sure of the future, thats like the nature of life? At the same time, we have maintained the legacy search bar for like 10 years at great expense because like 0.5% of users use it so ...

@bodil@social.treehouse.systems I made a design update to the urlbar and someone quite publically said that I was to blame for Trump being president because of that. I get and often agree with some of the crititism, however a huge chunk of it is hysterical and quite often nonsensical vitriol from people who have confused activism with online harassment. Honestly had a sigh of relief reading this, its rare to read a reasoned take, even from somewhat respected peers.

@aburka buttons on the toolbar don't scale very well particularly for one off / rare functions like this. If there was a lot of demand maybe but right now this is relatively low cost

@fabienmarry @Meyerweb probably worth avoiding giving feedback about discoverability without understanding what discoverability is in place?

@dan@social.coop that just means you don't understand what is measured and that's understandable, although probably best to avoid making statements about things you aren't familiar with. However even a basic level of experience releasing software should give you an idea about how many users customise defaults
