Interesting! Having worked at GitLab where everything that could be was public, this piques my interest. One benefit of information being public was the ability to search and find without needing to ask.

What size team is using this approach?
Are the Pulse updates required? Who creates them?

Does it have the tour dates on the back?

On our last jar of homemade. Will have an enforced 'no marmalade' period until mid-Jan for extra appreciation when new batch is made!

Congrats - very well deserved. Delighted to hear your voice will there.

I'm still unsure if I actually like this style of social media. Improving the signal to noise ratio is tough given the variety of content individual accounts post. I spend more time on subject specific forums. But I'm loving how the 'ATmosphere' is developing so will hang around here for now :-)

Ho do I find this magical feed?! I only have 'Discover' which seems similar?

Ah - probably not oriented towards hardware. Have fun with the robotics! And of course you know what to do - just go all in on Linux ;-)

You can turn off AI instant answers in DDG settings and also hide AI generated images. DDG settings can be saved and recalled into different browser profiles.

If this is for users, I think 'node' is too technical. People are familiar with 'cursor' and now you have them flashing, they're very 'cursor' like. So maybe something like 'SectionCursor' and 'ItemCursor'?

Sorry, the above isn't entirely accurate. They re-enabled the ability to see individual Tweets wihtout an account. But you can't see replies or view a thread - so no context or discussion. It's also not possible to view a profile page without an account. So still 'not part of the web' for me!
