A small screenshot showing a toot from the "Jobs for Developers" account. It says "Mozilla is hiring Senior Software Engineer, Ads".

I remember the time when companies were pitching tools called "Unified Messaging" today we need that more than ever. I have no clue anymore on which platform to reach out to some folks was it Slack , Signal , Telegram ? Pidgin used to be my single IM client that worked for all . Alas #e14n :(

A screenshot of a web browser showing the Mastodon interface for writing a post ("toot"). The text shown in the window so far is the first portion of the post containing the image, with the browser highlighting the spelling error it assumes for the word "enshittification". Also shown is the context menu showing the author about to use the "Add to dictionary" option for this word, so that it is no longer identified as an error.
