Unless anyone thinks that we are overreacting to the felon and the musketeers: {edit} I just realized of course the White House didn't alt-text the image. It's a Time Magazine-like cover called Trump with an image of the felon with a gold crown and his stupid grin with a backdrop of NY City skyline. It is subtitled "Long Live The King."

I recently drove a car whose whole control and entertainment system was a gigantic iPad-like thing mounted to the dash. It caused me to have a realisation about the #Ui and #UX of touch screens.
There is no way to touch a touchscreen without it treating that touch as intentional. What I mean is: without taking my eyes off the road, I can grope across the dashboard, find a knob or button—by touching it—without activating any function. Touching the volume button or temperature knob doesn’t DO anything until I do it with more force and intentionality. Not so for a #touchscreen.
My mobile #phone (an #iPhone 13) has no dead space in its face. There’s no part of the phone face I can touch without it assuming I meant to do that and I wanted to activate whatever was under my finger. Old iPhones that had physical home buttons also had dead space to either side: a safe space to hold the phone without DOING anything.
Computer keyboard have little raised pips on the F and J keys so you can find them by touch without looking. I do this all the time. But I don’t type the letters F or J. Touch screens have no such affordances.
I look at the #blackberry keyboard in this photo and I see a raised space bar. It’s an #affordance that lets you orient your fingers, and orient how you hold the phone, without looking.
I miss buttons.

Reading this article posted by @bagder made me realize that I haven't seen ANYBODY explaining exactly what the long-term strategy vis-a-vis code maintenance is, when the code itself was "written" by a junior using ChatGPT. The junior is definitely not going to be able to help (since they're not going to learn and become a senior), so is the expectation that somebody else will use ChatGPT again to update it to use newer libraries etc? Sounds... silly.

For educational purposes we disclose this recent hackerone report on #curl claiming its sprintf() implementation is bad because it can be made to deref a bad pointer when you use it incorrectly. You know, exactly how all sprintf() implementation work - by design.
This is not the first time we had this "flaw" reported. (I did not check the "AI slop" checkbox on this one)

Of all the things Elon Musk has done, please do not forget this one.
Edit: the proposal would have fed people for only one year, and possibly not everyone. However, the point remains that with this extreme wealth concentration, there are many good things wealthy people could do, but aren't, and more people need to complain about that.
Two years ago we ended #curl series seven with a final release: 7.88.1

Surely nobody is still rocking version 7? 😀
Things did not work out the way we had planned. The 7.88.0 release that was supposed to be the last curl version 7 release contained a nasty bug that made us decide that we better ship an update once that is fixed. This is the update.daniel.haxx.se
Definitely. I hear the Moon Cows love curl!

Tuta email, located in Germany, Europe, now uses quantum computers to encrypt their emails.
(Technically, they are using algorithms determined to be safe against attacks from quantum computers. And they don't actually have a quantum computer running 24/7, but that is good enough for me.)
#Tuta #Email #QuantumComputers #Quantum #Privacy #Security
You're right. Missed that comment. For post-quantum crypto no quantum computer is needed, it's "only" a different mathematical problem used for encryption, one that quantum computers can't break.
But you already know that. ;)
This blog post touches my reality in ways I can relate to. "The reality of long-term software maintenance from the maintainer's perspective"
People often ask me what I do all days working full-time on a product that to them seemingly does the same thing now it did already ten years ago (at least). Maintenance is the gift that never stops giving.

Cómo escuchar podkasts libremente

Me ha estrañado mucho la enorme cantidad de gente que escucha podkasts con una app tipo Spotify o iVoox, o dándole al play en una página web. Con lo cómodo y genial que es usar #AntennaPod y ya.
Así en breve, la peor manera de escuchar podkasts es con una app tipo Spotify o iVoox porque te restringe a los programas de su plataforma. ¿Te imaginas un aparato de radio que sólo te deje sintonizar una emisora? Pues eso.Podkasts
