To our loyal customers, After 13 years we are making the difficult decision to sell SpeedDots. We are extending the offer to purchase to you, our community and customer base first, because we recognize that it is you who have helped us to last over the past decade and more. Without you supporting our products through referrals and purchasing, this company would not have lasted for this long, especially in such a niche market as the blind community. We have enjoyed creating a product that has benefited so many. Why are we selling? There are a few reasons: First, health. As most of you may know, we are a small company: a company of two to be exact. Both Doug and Amy have had significant challenges and changes in life circumstances which have made this necessary. Over the past year, Doug has been dealing with Long Covid. The result is that his health is such that he no longer has the physical energy to keep up with the demand of making and selling the tactile screen protectors and ensuring that orders are properly fulfilled and shipped out in a timely manner. In December of 2022, Amy was hired by the Blind Institute of Technology Sadly, this meant providing less help to Doug so much of the customer facing work was being sent his way along with making and shipping of products. This was a lot to juggle in addition to his health struggles. Next, changes in living situations for both have led to a problem with space. Read more via: speeddots.com/

> AI and Tooling Support: It’s worth noting that AI tools are intimately familiar with Next.js and not so much with htmx, due to the lack of open-source training data.
A risk with "AI" for coding I’ve talked about is that it's trained on legacy code so it's going to be a conservative force in software dev, driving people to use outdated but popular approaches. This is the first time I've seen that happen in the wild
"The system is designed such that humans don’t have access to individual data. The outputs are aggregated and anonymized, then Anonym destroys the individual data."
"Mozilla is going to be more active in digital advertising."
"we do this fully acknowledging our expanded focus on online advertising won’t be embraced by everyone in our community" - blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/im…
I appreciate Mozilla laying their intent out explicitly with no room for interpretation or guesswork.
Personally, I think this is not just a huge misstep, but a deathknell.
I like Mozilla, or rather I liked what Mozilla once was. Over the years I've volunteered time on various Mozilla projects - both online and in-person. I've advocated for Firefox for two decades.....
Time after time, especially in recent years, I've given Mozilla the benefit of the doubt - because I both believed they were honestly doing things for the right reasons.
Browser development and maintenance is a costly endeavor - any firefox fork has to either commit to that upkeep, or rely on being able to sift critical changes from unwanted cruft in a timely manner.
Ultimately I think the only way we can dig ourselves out of this mess is by making it easier to build and maintain browsers (There are perhaps alternative foundations to build on, such as servo on the horizon - but they too need funding.)
No, the death knell was when Google built a better browser than Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox, supplied it with cutting edge developer tools, and gave it away for free. It was a monopolist's move and it worked.
No, they didn't see an opening and took it. They swindled and deceived people, rigged the game so only they could win. Don't talk about Google like some dashing maverick, deftly dodging the sluggish giants. They're bullies, and cheats, and should be referred to as such.
Sorry but I'm sick of framing this abuse as if it were something to be admired and respected. Cutting edge? Really?
@cy Were you using Internet Explorer or Firefox when Chrome was introduced? I was. IE was garbage - Firefox was decent. Hell, Seamonkey was better than IE! But Chrome was still better, and they had an open source variant, Chromium, that was better in the same ways. 1/2
Maybe the Google plan was always to dominate the market, but Chrome didn't catch fire because of that. It caught fire because it made browsing easier and web development tolerable. Every web developer I knew back then developed on Chrome and tested on the other browsers in later stages of the process. 2/2
It didn't make anything easier though. Every webdev I knew showed little to no critical thinking, and just went where the hype is, so they started developing on Chrome because of the marketing saying it was the hip new thing. Nobody questioned it, or did any sort of critical study or comparison.
The new one-time-purchase version of Microsoft Office is out.
As usual, Microsoft warns that it’s inferior to the subscription version, since it won’t receive updates and… *checks notes* … lacks the Copilot AI integration.
