These days, things have greatly improved.

Websites will never change their URLs today.

My RSS reader (Newsblur) lets me do that too, to some extent.

• Stopped using reddit, went here instead.
• Intensified my Mastodon usage, winding down my Twitter activity.
• Started using my own mail server for more than just a few tests.
• Changed search engines a few times (I’ll probably stick with Kagi now).
• Reduced my subscriptions and cleaned up my RSS feeds.
• Stopped doomscrolling (I subscribed to a weekly paper newspaper instead).
• Started using Ulysses for writing. Works very well.

How can we have (relevant) technical progress if tech groups consider technology an afterthought?

In my opinion, the Rust core team - having evolved from Mozilla - is - just like Mozilla - more interested in social issues than in technology. That’s actually sad, because what Rust would need is meritocracy.
