There's nothing quite like reading a newspaper article from 1986, which happens to load very slowly (kind of funny to me) and then has a damn "sign in with Google" popup.
I'm recruiting a PhD student for autumn 2026 on a project on accessibility in musical instrument design, in partnership with disability arts charities OHMI and Drake Music.
PhD project summary: An estimated 16 million people in the UK live with a disability (DWP statistics 2023), of which 48% have mobility impairments and 25% have impaired dexterity. Traditional […]
The most valuable piece of career advice I give young people is that being good at your job is not as important as the right people liking you. Just look at Bari Weiss.

Once again, the goverment is pulling another psyop on us. "Oh the Brown University shooter committed suicide in a storage unit". Good one guys. They keep trying to cover up these deaths, but they'll never bury the real truth about the secret Storage Wars
I keep seeing people saying “Mozilla should just focus on the browser instead of the random tech and scam of the month”, and all I’m thinking is: they focused on “browser as a product” for a decade, to the extent of killing anything that would have slowed the adoption of WebKit and Chrome. Y’all really think they ought to do that again, when they managed to slam their dick in the car door so thoroughly?
Novel thought: maybe Moz is just a bad company that had more money than skill, just like Netscape. Maybe web browser engines should not be left to companies.
you'd probably still need, well, probably want, a company to keep a web browser engine alive tbh. Maybe im misunderstanding what youre saying here, but its a massive undertaking that many of us critically depend on
The problem is that social media managers end up taking CTO positions, really.
ok, forreal this time, I can set my account to public once again.
And on another note (which may actually be sad, and also speaking of suno,) apparently suno is now going to restrict downloads and stuff do to this hole suno-wmg (warner music group) thing that's happening, and we can't use udio because uploading audio files (including ringtones like I always do) require premium unfortunately... And now suno also won't let you download stuff because now it has a limit and I'll probably be forced to screen record everything (unless wmg finds out or something...) I don't know... And just for proof of this suno.com/blog/wmg-partnership
I'll elaborate. I believe we're in an AI bubble. AI companies are pushing the overton window on AI discourse. They want the most extreme anti-AI sentiment to be "Sure, it's an overhyped technology right now but there will be reasonable applications down the road". I want to see pushback on this. It doesn't matter if I can disable some AI feature in the settings. The fact that Mozilla is jumping on this bandwagon is deeply disappointing to me.
I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being able to browse the web nowadays.

Wenn das Vivaldi-Team nur bei seinen eigenen UI-Bits auch Wert auf Barrierefreiheit legen würde, und Chromium nicht ständig auf dem Mac irgendwas kaputt machen und dann monatelang nicht beheben würde, wäre Vivaldi wirklich einen Screenreader-Blick wert. Aber das letzte Mal war schon noch sehr ernüchternd, also keine Alternative. Ich behelfe mir mit ungoogled-Chromium.
The European Commission lost the Chat Control 2.0 battle over access to end-to-end encrypted data. By the summer 2026, they will be back with their next attempt: Going Dark. This time some EU member states want to include VPN services.
The Going Dark initiative, or ProtectEU as the Commission now calls it, wants to “enable law enforcement authorities to access encrypted data in a lawful manner”. This is a Chat Control 3.0 attempt.
I remember a time, not so very long ago, when Gecko powered 4 or 5 non-Mozilla browsers, some of them on exotic platforms, as well as GPS devices, wysiwyg editors, geographic platforms, email clien…

Die @SunDial79 und ich haben gestern Abend über eine Stunde über Audio-Equipment und Podcasting abgenerdet. Hat spaß gemacht. Wir haben #Studiolink mit #REAPER Getestet, wobei jede Person einmal Host und einmal Anrufender war. Da wir beide blind sind, können wir das #ultraschall Add-On nicht nutzen, sondern müssen das Routing usw. von Hand konfigurieren. Hat alles gut geklappt. Nur die Weboberfläche hat doch diverse Probleme, die ich in den nächsten Tagen reporten werde. CC @sreimers
Guten Morgen. Studiolink ist ein gutes Programm. Wenn du, Marco, da ein bisschen auf Barrierefreiheit achtest, fände ich das klasse. Ich würde es gern öfter einsetzen für Gespräche für den Ohrfunk.
Wir haben das VST-Plugin mit der REAPER Audiosoftware getestet. Die Probleme liegen im HTML der Webseite, die sich öffnet, sobald das Plugin als Effekt instanziiert wird. Der „Mix“-Button z.B. sagt nicht, ob er mono, stereo oder den dritten Zustand hat. Und wenn man als Gast die Quick-URL aufruft, gibt es da gefühlt auch ein paar Dinge, die checkboxen sein sollten, aber nur anklickbare Elemente sind. Aber Sebastian müsste sagen, wo er die Issues haben will.
@Mespotine Nein, habe ich nicht. Ich muss mal schauen, ob ich über die Feiertage die Energie aufbringen kann, mir das genauer anzuschauen, weil da tatsächlich mehrere Sachen problematisch waren und ich aber dafür auch eine zweite Person in einem Gespräch brauche, um bestimmte Teile der UI überhaupt unter den Screen Reader zu bekommen. (1/2)
Ich hatte nur mal dieses Rooms oder wie das heißt ausprobiert, was in Beta ist, und das war irgendwie auch nicht ganz sauber, aber das war wirklich nur ein schnelles Drüberfliegen. (2/2)
@Mespotine Noch ein ganz wichtiger Hinweis für Ultraschall 6: Passt bitte auf, dass ihr bei installierter OSARA Extension kompatibel bleibt. Blinde mit REAPER nutzen OSARA ohne Ausnahme. Schau hier für Infos und den Source: github.com/jcsteh/osara
@Mespotine Und falls ihr was in OSARA integrieren wollt/müsst, damit es mit Ultraschall 6 noch besser läuft, und das mit nichts anderem kollidiert, bin ich mir sicher, dass die Maintainer den Code auch akzeptieren werden. Ich freue mich darüber, dass OSARA diese Auswirkung auf euer Projekt hat. Ich habe von Ultraschall vor 10 Jahren auf einem Podlove-Treffen in Berlin das erste Mal gehört und war sehr traurig, dass es nicht zugänglich ist.
Eine Gruppe JournalistInnen hat kreativ mehrfach einen Claude-gesteuerten Snack-Automaten überredet, die Ware zu verschenken. Vielleicht ja auch schön, dass wir jetzt mit natürlicher Sprache hacken können. 🤷🏻♂️
“India Street Lettering, the new book by type designer and lettering artist Pooja Saxena, is a warm, thoughtful look at the signs that quietly shape India’s streets... It’s part archive, part love letter, and a deeply satisfying record of India’s everyday typography.”

Hice un dibujo 1:1 de las puertas del zapatero, para poder posicionar bien las tiritas de la rejilla y luego poder transferir los tamaños al escantillón. Me encanta poder sacar juntas la reglota y escuadrota de madera; son ligeras y precisas y es lindo usar herramientas que hizo uno mismo. #carpintería
El siguiente paso es cortar todas las chingadas tiritas. Primero serruché tablas que eran de poco más de 3/4" de grosor, en tiras de poco más de 3/8". Luego las corté a la longitud de las tiritas de las puertas. #carpintería
Luego, hice una pequeña utilería para tener una guía para cepillar las tiritas al ancho y grosor correctos. Se hace con dos rieles para lo ancho del cepillo, y dos tiritas laterales que tienen la altura correcta. El cepillo se desliza sobre esas tiritas. #carpintería
Lo siguiente es dejar las piezas para el marco de las puertas del zapatero, cuadradas y a sus dimensiones finales. Marcar con el gramil y cepillar. #carpintería
There are two types of software devs in December end: 1. Those who respect the Code Freeze. 2. Those who spend Christmas Eve or rest of the holidays stuck in their childhood room, trying to SSH into a production server over their parents' ADSL while their better half stares stares at them with pure annoyance from the hallway.

There were rumblings about this for a while, but it looks like the Trump TikTok deal is done, and it’s somehow the worst of all possible outcomes, amazingly making all of the biggest criticis…
