Stepping down as GNOME Internships organizer
For the past nine years, I’ve been actively involved in our internship initiatives with Google Summer of Code and Outreachy. As an alumnus of these programs, I firmly believe they are great ways to onboard new contributors to GNOME and help students start a career in open-source software.
However, as my work responsibilities have grown and I’ve started some personal (non-software) projects, I’ve found myself with less time and energy for this type of contribution.
I’ve been discussing this with key people over the past year, and I plan to stay around to hand over responsibilities to other members of the Internship Committee. I will continue helping manage things for 2024, but I won’t be directly involved beyond that.
If you’re interested in helping with these activities, please reach out to the GNOME Internship Committee.

Went down a rabbit hole reading up on adventure game history and half way through I’m thinking “nearly every genre-defining game has its own engine”. No one in gaming says “oh, why’d you reinvent a game engine for your game?” It’s clear why… you’re creating something unique and you need an engine tuned to its needs. And you want to be able to use the engine for other, similar, games.
Which made me think: Kitten is the game engine for the Small Web.
It blows my mind that it is possible to replicate a Macintosh on such minimal hardware. An RPi Pico could not just fit in my pocket, I could stuff dozens in there. Here is the story of how it was done.

And I want to say I'm loving the state of #GNOME's app ecosystem. Lots of apps, most of them really nice, many of them incredibly polished and well designed. The vision of small applications that do one thing and do it great was never so close.
All my love for the developers of these and many other great applications out there, and also for the GNOME community, for creating the ground for such an ecosystem to grow.
In einer Welt, in der Smartwatches und Fitness-Tracker immer beliebter werden, wird eine zentrale Frage immer drängender: Wie sicher sind unsere Daten? Die meisten dieser Geräte sind auf proprietäre Apps angewiesen, die häufig persönliche Informationen, wie Gesundheitsdaten, an externe Server übermitteln. Für viele Nutzer, die Wert auf den Schutz ihrer Privatsphäre legen, stellt dies ein ernsthaftes Problem dar. Hier kommt die Gadgetbridge ins Spiel. 👇

A fascinating and disturbing look at how finite-element engineering simulations, though potentially very accurate, are nonetheless sometimes wildly wrong thanks to old/misused code, and dodgy shortcuts that Gilbert Strang calls “variational crimes”.

Beloved Apple blog TUAW was shut down in 2015, sold to private equity, then sold to a company in Hong Kong. It recently relaunched as an AI content farm using the stolen identities and bylines of its former human staff. A nightmare:

A Beloved Tech Blog Is Now Publishing AI Articles Under the Names of Its Old Human Staff
TUAW, a site that was shut down 10 years ago, was sold to a private equity firm, then to a company in Hong Kong, and has now stolen its old workers' identities and is running their old work through AI summarizers.Jason Koebler (404 Media)
TUAW has now changed its "writers' names" to random other things. "Christina Warren" is now "Mary Brown."
So now it has "just" bastardized the work of these journalists and is polluting the internet, but at least is not stealing their names and poisoning their search results ...... success?

Sometimes you can tell a lot about a person by the domains they register. For no particular reason, I was looking at the domain footprint of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and found a phone number connected to her over the years that was used to register mtgforamerica[.]us back in 2021. The domain's registration records are hidden behind privacy services from anonymize.com, but their privacy system assigns a unique email to each private registrant, so you can still do a reverse search on that and find out what other domains are registered by the same account.
Domaintools finds 21683@anonymize.com was used to register 156 domains, including supportkylerittenhouse[.]com and repealjuneteenth.com. Here's the full list if anyone's interested: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
