happy “I’m gonna start a side project” holidays
A two panel comic book style drawing. The first panel is a console with two red buttons labelled - “admit to yourself your dream is dead” and “pay $12”. A white gloved hand is hovering betwixt the two options. The second panel is a white man, holding a cloth to their forehead. They are sweating and look anxious. There is text that reads “domain renewal”

It is liberating :) And yes, Mastodon missed the boat on this one. Although I also like Mastodon, the double @ in the username is confusing for most. As you can see here, it is unnecessary. It can also act as a verification tool, e.g. @wyden.senate.gov, for public figures

The beauty of this is also it is future proof. Because if you own a domain now or in the future, you also own the handle. You don't need to worry about claiming the handle in advance.

You may need to pay $9 per year for the domain, but it is yours then and it's cheaper. In addition, you can always change the handle while keeping the domain (preventing anyone else from using it as a handle).

What I really love about Bluesky is how they do custom usernames, which is its own verification (aka checkmark). bsky.social/about/blog/4... If you part of an organization, you can also use that method to verify your connection (e.g. Journalists) using a subdomain. Any hostname can work!

Now you'll see blurred thumbnails instead of what used to look like an elaborate prank where everyone pretended to freeze at the same time.The system tray icon will no longer appear pixelated on Ubuntu Linux, unless you've managed to get Ubuntu Linux running on an old smart refrigerator with a low-res screen.
