I work on Bun.

Happy to answer any questions

Congrats on the payday :)

Do you think Anthropic might request you implement private APIs?

A counterpoint to the idea that this is entirely Google's doing: https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2025/08/22/no-google-did-...

I think you should disclose that you work on the Google Chrome team in a post like this.

Here’s the link for anyone wanting to join the waitlist for Thundermail (the service):

https://www.thundermail.com/

I really hope this takes off well and provides some funding for the Thunderbird project too. Currently the only way to monetarily support Thunderbird is through donations (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/donate/ ).

> [...] support Thunderbird is through donations

I doubt donations to MZLA Technologies Corporation will reach the Thunderbird project in any meaningful way.

They'll just use it to pay their executive salaries.

You could charge a fee and give the money back if the report is wrong but seems well-intentioned.

I see the issue with this, it's payment platforms. Despite the hate, cryptocurrency seems like it could be a solution. But in practice, people won't take time to set up a crypto wallet just to submit a bug report, and if crypto becomes popular, it may get regulations and middlemen like fiat (which add friction, e.g. chargebacks, KYC, revenue cuts).

However if more services use small fees to avoid spam it could work eventually. For instance, people could install a client that pays such fees automatically for trusted sites which refund for non-spam behavior.

This is probably something that the platform HackerOne should implement. It can't be addressed on the project level.

jannes commented on Google's widespread tracking across the web   simpleanalytics.com/blog/... · Posted by u/basquiyacht

This title is highly misleading, implying that Google tracks DuckDuckGo searches directly, which isn’t true. It also reinforces a conspiracy theory that we’re owned by Google, which also of course isn’t true. Kindly please change it to be more accurate about Google analytics and other Google trackers on websites you may visit.

We’ve been sounding the alarm about Google analytics, tag manager, and other Google trackers for years and why we started making our own extensions and browsers to block them and provide more comprehensive protection. On our homepage and everywhere else we can we try to get people to install those to get that additional protection, which you can compare here: https://duckduckgo.com/compare-privacy

DDG is only one piece in the privacy puzzle. I think the article doesn't make it clear enough that other pieces are necessary.
jannes commented on Telefónica DE shifts VMware support to Spinnaker due to cost   theregister.com/2025/07/1... · Posted by u/rbanffy
znpy · 5 months ago
I don't understand this article.

Assuming the "spinnaker" it talks about is https://spinnaker.io/ how does it translate the move from virtualization to deployment?

Is it being implied that Telefònica Germany is moving to the cloud, and dismissing its vmware license (and hardware, and datacenter stuff) ? Was Telefonica running vSphere on the Managed VMWare offering on AWS?

Don't get me wrong, I loathe BroadCom as much as the next guy, but this article isn't very informative.

jannes · 5 months ago
They will continue using the perpetual VMware licenses.

This article is just about buying support from another provider.

I bought a thrown out M1 Macbook Air recently and I still haven’t figured out how to do a simple “right click in Finder > open Terminal here”

Can be done with a keyboard shortcut or the Services menu but then it tries to open the Terminal of a selected folder not the current open folder

jannes · 5 months ago
Obviously, right-click is for losers and you just have to drag and drop the folder icon from the title bar onto the Terminal app icon.

So cool! I wonder if I can use this software to plan an irrigation system for my garden.

Does the simulation also work on a smaller scale?

It treats any of my clicks as an attempt to select text, and draws everything with blue selection overlay (Firefox on Windows).

Otherwise, looks cool!

jannes · 6 months ago
I thought the same, but it's actually just the default Color Palette being applied. You can change it in the preferences.
