I think that @theverge is underselling it - the gold here isn’t the chrome browser, it’s chrome’s automatic background update system. It’s root on billions of machines.

Probably the best #anagram I will ever personally discover.
I've been waiting for a good moment this year to post it. I thought in 2025 someone would be bound to use this phrase in public discourse. But I haven't seen a case of it yet, so I'll just post this anyway.
When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future.
Trump laid off nearly all of them.

The cuts, which are part of Trump’s slashing of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, will also halt a first-of-its-kind study of the causes of thousands of firefighters’ cancer cases.ProPublica

Several weeks ago I started to monitor my #selfhosted services with #prometheus. Two weeks ago I set alarms to notify me about possible problems. And today I made updates and buckups so I used alert silencers for the first time. It's so straitforward. I love it.
Next huge task I am plannig is to migrate it all from docker to kubernetes.
This evening I’ll be at @blag’s BLAG Meet: Inside Issue 06 bl.ag/meet to talk about my efforts to learn, devise and systematise the language to describe letterforms on India’s vibrant signage, especially hand-painted ones, on indiastreetlettering.com/.
The event is free and online, and there’s a stellar lineup you don’t want to miss!

Dear good people, I need your help to make my next short film, #TheNightDancer so I'll do a crowdfund here as I can't create on the main platforms. Expect a lot of begging posts from me for the next month, but the film is complicated; a revenge fantasy based on Luo mythology, where dance is a powerful magic. It pushes my production costs beyond usual.
Details here, with lots of perks for each dollar you give!

Each time someone said "we should switch to PR (proportional representation)" in Cnaada, my main take is that they want the fascist (PPC) in the HoC.
France tried that once, it was not even a national PR, but per departement, and that's how the FN got it. And they never left. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_Fre…
Non withstanding that this require opening the constitution as it is a change a representation, unlike a run-off or preferential voting which both would rid of FPTP.

it did kill uBlock Origin. Albeit there is a less functional version of it.
It is possible (but harder) to write one with manifest v3, just that it's a lot of work and I have stopped caring when my contract at the ad company wasn't renewed.
Note that back at that time there was a bunch of limitations that were arbitrary and IMHO clearly designed for that.
Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security

This post aggregates a pretty interesting discussion, but my first takeaway is that Apple's behaviour around its dev platform make it specifically inappropriate for business software: unpredictability, random seasonal breakages, etc., all of which have a greater impact on software made with large teams as the volatility that affects each individual dev compounds as it cascades through the organisation.
The Internet of Things ended up being the internet of unsupported products.
Google is ending support for 1st & 2nd generation Nests and completely pulling out of Europe.
Imagine having to replace the thermostats in your home because a reorg at some big tech meant it was no longer a priority.

Software support for the original and second-gen Nest Learning Thermostat devices will end on October 25th, leaving customers unable to control them from a phone.Chris Welch (The Verge)
The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;
- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)
- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days
- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity
And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label (which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score), and abide by the above requirements, from 20 June 2025.
