So, no longer requires a username when signing up. You instead get assigned one automatically, of the form "idXXX" where XXX is the ID for your user record. You can change it later in settings if you wish. Current Mastodon versions handle this change no problem.

The username is only visible in two places:

  • The URL of your profile
  • When someone mentions you
    So it's not very important. Definitely not important enough to be a required field when you register.

Dear websites, there's exactly zero cases when I would like to download a PDF instead of viewing it in the browser. Don't do it. Just don't.

(if I'll ever make my own web browser, it would intentionally lack support for the Content-Disposition header)

I don't want all these "I only want to see this one single time and never again" files cluttering my downloads folder

It finally happened: Twitter changed the domain to x.com. Twitter.com is no more.

#X #Twitter #Xitter #SocialMedia

@rolle must be a staged rollout... Or is that "tweak new Twitter" extension so good it prevents that redirect?
