Damit auch die Leseratten unter Euch nicht zu kurz kommen, gehen gerade wieder 33 neue deutschsprachige #eBooks (und 1 englischsprachiges) hoch zu ebooks.qumran.org/
Ich wünsche Euch viel Spaß beim Stöbern und Schmökern!
Leider habe ich es zum 13. Geburtstag meiner freien Bibliothek nicht geschafft, die zahl der eBooks auch auf 13.000 zu heben. So müsst Ihr Euch leider mit "nur" 12.590 davon begnügen. Aber es kommen bald wieder welche nach!
Alex and I met a long time ago. When the js community was still niche and fun. We've stayed loosely connected, and I watched as he has done his best to steer the community away from the ridiculous place we currently find ourselves. For Alex to be entirely fed up is not a small thing. He has spent more than a decade being unfathomably nice and patient about it. I was there. toot.cafe/@slightlyoff/1121066…
And there's an embedded truth to this: telling *just* engineers that things are broken doesn't work. So I sat with executives. Showed them what was going on.
Alex has one fundamental message. This stuff is not better for users. A lot of what we end up building today sucks as an experience. Few people want to admit that. No matter how you try to show it. With performance data, user feedback, traffic rates, lost revenue. People don't wanna hear it.
My message has been related but a bit different. The complexity here is unsustainable. As a leader of engineering teams over the last 10 years, I've watched them become less and less empowered. There are a lot of engineers who still care a lot about building something good. But I watch as they drown in complexity. They want to fix things, but they literally can't. And that frustration comes out in all kinds of dysfunctional ways.

Lieve mensen uit #België 🇧🇪 (en omstreken!): De luchthaven van #Deurne in #Antwerpen is een vreselijk ding. Kostelijk, vervuilend, onrechtvaardig. Beter nog: de luchthaven ligt eigenlijk in een groenzone en midden in een woongebied! We moeten daar dus van af.
De luchthaven zit op dit eigenste moment in een procedure voor een vernieuwde vergunning, hét ideale moment dus om massaal bezwaar in te dienen hiertegen!

The ability to create custom shortcuts with various actions has been available on iOS since 2018, when apple first demonstrated this feature at the World Wide Developers Conference.
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).

@cachondo Well, if I'm interpreting this correctly BBC iPlayer should be getting it at the same time as Disney Plus here in the States. It's only the folks dependent on BBC 1 who will have to wait until later in the day. If I'm wrong I hope that another Whovian will set me straight. #DoctorWho
Achievement unlocked: accidentally drilled through a water pipe, then stood there with my finger on the hole like a cartoon character while thinking what to do.
Cooking is not only difficult for time-poor people in Singapore, but also more expensive unless done regularly and for a large family, says cookbook author Pamelia Chia.
*for a very serious finding about how biased evaluation actually MASKS us from accessing achievement that might look the opposite to what we (stereotypically) expect. Aka, we need good math work done, and high achieving women could fill that demand, but our biases are directly sabotaging us from seeing the achievement of women in math skills.
Flying to Berlin this week, from 19th of March till April 4th, would love some recommendations!
I am mostly looking for community, so less touristy attractions, or mega parties, and more smaller kinky / queer community events, and local day to day stuff to enjoy. Would love to meet up with other kinky queer folk, trans activists etc. I hope the saunas are trans friendly.
(Added my picture for attention... boosts welcome)

HOLY MACKEREL I just howled laughing. Y'all sometimes it is a pure blast to be old.
'Researchers have discovered a new way to hack AI assistants that uses a surprisingly old-school method: ASCII art. It turns out that chat-based large language models such as GPT-4 get so distracted trying to process these representations that they forget to enforce rules blocking harmful responses, such as those providing instructions for building bombs.'
Jemand als Selbstabholer Interesse an einem IKEA Billy Eckregal in Buche (topp Zustand, siehe Foto)? Steht hier in München im Weg und würde sich freuen, wenn es jemand abholt. Wenn es Euch dazu noch etwas Wert ist, freut sich der derzeitige Besitzer über was-auch-immer das ist¹
¹ (beim letzten Mal waren es selbstgebackene Cookies – die einzige Sorte, die ich liebend gern akzeptiere, besonders mit Tee dazu 😜)
Hab da ein paar Dinge, die eine neue Heimat brauchen die nicht "Mülltonne" heißt. Frei abzugeben gegen Abholen in München oder gegen Porto. Wenn wer was geben will: nehme gerne Cookies ohne Banner, von Privacy-Nerds gebacken Oder was immer Ihr für angemessen haltet/habt, gern anbieten.
Details in den Bildbeschreibungen, und im nächsten Toot (Reply). Rückfragen auch gern in Replies.

All of the cell technologies I've encountered at the low-cost end of the market have usability downsides, so I end up buying the more expensive Piezoelectric braille displays. The most interesting technologies I'm aware of currently are those by Dot Inc., and by Tactile Engineering, both capable of supporting multi-line Braille/graphics-capable displays. A patent search will show numerous other proposals developed over the past several decades, few of which have ever become publicly available products.
