Along with a handful of smaller UX changes, you'll now be able to view alt text on images. Also expanding support for links back to original posts that have been bridged.

Accessibility, SEO, and smaller UX updates are big areas I’m starting to focus on. There’s a lot of small lingering things I need to address.

New today: bridged posts now have links to the original post. Added support for Threads, Mastodon, and PixelFed. Mastodon and PixelFed will depend on the instance; adding support for more instances soon.

This was a really interesting episode! First time listening to the podcast, will definitely have to check out more episodes.

The DOGE forgot to secure their database, miscalculated $8m for $8b, and misrepresented data with a bad SQL query. I’m starting to think they’re not as smart as they think they are.

I can definitely tell some of this code on @atexplore.social was written way too fast. Need to spend some time cleaning a few things up.

The e in iPhone 16e stands for 'eggs' and that's why it's overpriced

If it was actually about waste, they would look into the $800 billion Pentagon can’t account for and the government contracts that private companies use to extract billions of taxpayer dollars.

Notice how none of the "waste" is things that benefit the rich.

Super stoked about these! #zelda

This is a wild interview. The things he admits to with a shrug, everyone does it, and it’s not illegal, are insane.

Working on a few things for @atexplore.social. Looking to launch a new landing page and some other smaller UX improvements this week.

It’s wild to me that this company has a $6b market.

Anytime I go back to VScode with Copilot from the Cursor, it feels like a massive step backwards.

Free speech absolutism.

Who forgets to protect their database like this?

Is this draining the swamp?

Drain the swamp?

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

This is a great ROI and probably a very efficient use of taxpayer money.
