Leak: Elon Musk said he wants X to be a dating app, too, in an all-hands meeting on the anniversary of his Twitter takeover

People would have to be nuts to build anything on his platform after he killed all third party Twitter clients and ruined the Twitter API. That's not how you build trust.

Beaker Browser is dead

github.com Is Beaker still being worked on? · beakerbrowser beaker · Discussion #1944

I see the last commit was just over 10 months ago, will Beaker ever be updated again or do the maintainers consider it to be "done" now? I really enjoy using Beaker so it'd suck if it was dead. gos...

I'm real sorry to say, I'm going to be closing down this project in the very near future.

I'm very sorry to read this, because I was a huge fan of Beaker Browser's approach to decentralizing publishing. I preferred Dat/Hypercore over IPFS because IPFS is being promoting alongside Filecoin and other cryptocurrencies by crypto shills.

https://agregore.mauve.moe/ seems like a plausible successor, but it supports IPFS as well and I don't want to have anything to do with IPFS. I've lost my enthusiasm for this space as web3 turning everything into financial instruments and MLM schemes has come to dominate discussions of "decentralization".
