🤍 Appeal to the Browser Goddesses 🤍
Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn't an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.
- Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it's already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
- Should Amazon's website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
- Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
- Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google's main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb
There are no "good reasons" for these inefficiencies. We don't suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.

People who often participate in large email threads.
How do you quickly distinguish between "I need this urgently asap" addressed to you and "I need this urgently asap" addressed to somebody else, with you in CC as a courtesy or acknowledgment that the email you asked to send was actually sent?
I don't think I've seen an email client that lets you check this quickly.
Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Lunes más que otoñal. Esta semana va a ser toda así, dicen, con la llegada de lo que era un huracán. Sobre decir que hoy, #ChoveEnSantiago.
Looks like Libre.fm, an open-software version of Last.fm by the GNU Project, is being reworked to support ActivityPub!

Yeah, it's been there for a while. I noticed it once when I paused before hitting the back button and heard the hint that a double tap and hold would bring up the history. Once in a great while I remember to listen for the hint to see if I can pick up something new.
I think VoiceOver does a good job with hints. For example, I like how when I'm using the braille screen input command mode.

Diwali is on Halloween this year. The festival of lights will be competing with the festival of the candy industry. 
I always felt like Halloween worked as a themed month, but as a day why’d it have to be on Diwali. Ugh.
Sorry, I didn’t want to make a big general statement about Halloween. Please enjoy it if you like it. This was a more personal vent.
Things like this are inevitable when you shove the Hindu lunisolar calendar and the Gregorian calendar onto the same timeline.
One of the themes which came through from the NVDA Satisfaction Survey earlier this year, was to improve Braille support. To help us target the most needed improvements, we have created a short survey. If you use NVDA with braille at least some of the time, please consider completing this survey.

Sam Altman believes #AI is using a trivial amount of energy.
"The energy use of AI, I think relative to the value it's creating, is quite tiny today. I don't want to minimize it too much, because it's going to go up — like we will use gigawatts over time, out of, you know, terawatts on Earth."
I guess this depends on if the energy use of small countries is trivial and if you believe Earth can sustain producing terawatts of energy indefinitely.

Journalists who continue to actively post on Musk's site are actively supporting the business of a man who a) hates honest journalism; b) amplifies and gives big money to a presidential candidate who hates them and will act on that if he's back in power; and c) wants to bring down democracy itself.
No rationalization at this point is legitimate.
As I am seeing some Medium links in my timeline today, and Medium is pretty annoying (pop-overs and all). So reminder that you can just replace:

…with:
> scribe.rip
In any Medium link and get a wonderful simple unobtrusive reading experience instead.

I'm curious -- has anyone used a static site generator with really good backwards compatibility? (ideally over 5+ years)
I use (and love) Hugo but I've decided keep using a release from 2018 forever because it seems like there have been a lot of backwards incompatible changes since then and I don't feel like doing the work to upgrade
(edit: from the responses it seems like lots of people have found Jekyll to be very stable, especially with github pages. Also maybe eleventy.)
A small compendium of the Fediverse platforms I use/know well.
In the past few days, I revisited some of my old Fediverse instances since some friends asked me to help them set up a new one. I also took the chance to perform maintenance on some leftover instances. Here's my experience:
Akkoma: My oldest instance still running, opened in 2022. It was offline for a few months (3/4). I updated everything to the latest version and restarted it. I’m not sure why, but it’s extremely slow, with a heavy load on Postgres and many queries just to open the main page. I like Akkoma - I'll investigate further.
GoToSocial: I updated a friend's instance - GoToSocial itself was up-to-date, but the underlying system wasn’t. I noticed that once it exceeds 2000 followings, it becomes a bit slow. The database is PostgreSQL, but that's not the issue. The GoToSocial process becomes somewhat heavy on the VPS. Still, it's very usable and a software with great potential, in my opinion. The Mastodon API is implemented quite well and works with the major software.
Mitra: It seems well-built. The person had around 1000 followers and followings on a Mastodon account, which they moved from a large instance. No speed issues, though sending a message makes the server “heavy” for a bit, but it’s temporary. The Mastodon API is partially implemented, but the software is advancing quickly, and I find its native interface quite pleasant.
Snac2: I've always had a soft spot for Snac2. The lack of a database and some design choices make it an excellent solution for small instances. For example, sending posts to all known instances increases visibility and interaction. Its basic, JavaScript-free interface is very clear, though it might not be the best for those used to Mastodon. But the Mastodon API is improving version by version, and I think the developer is doing an excellent job. It struggles a bit with larger numbers, but that's due to the underlying file system, not the software itself. If "move" support (both in and out) were added, I would recommend it to anyone starting self-hosting for single-user or small community instances because "move" is one of the options that gives the most freedom in Fediverse software.
Mastodon: My “old” personal instance was stuck at version 4.1.x and had been offline for a few months. I updated the FreeBSD Jail and upgraded Mastodon to 4.2.12 and then to 4.3.0-beta1. No issues. I also helped a friend (who had an old Pleroma-based instance they barely used) migrate. This user has around 5000 followers and followings - Mastodon is running on FreeBSD on a VPS (arm64) for just over 3 euros a month, with no significant issues (apart from media storage, but that's not Mastodon’s fault). Mastodon is sometimes said to be heavy, and that's partly true, but its modularity ensures that even in cases of overload, queues may slow down, but navigation and the local timeline remain reasonably fast. I think this is a good thing for any larger-scale use of an instance.
In short, I think things are moving in the right direction, and the software is evolving nicely. Well done, devs!
