"Currently, in our bank account, we have £2100 (around $2800). It's not even enough to pay the rent for one month," explains Joseph Redon, head of the Japanese Game Preservation Society. He's describing the end of the non-profit organisation he set up in 2011 with the aim of properly safeguarding Japanese gaming history before it is lost forever.
"I'm paying 25% of the rent," reveals Redon. "Meaning we are already virtually out of business. We have monthly supporters but are losing between £260 and £420 every month. So when you do the maths, we are completely out of cash in September. And a non-profit organization cannot be out of cash. We're then out of business. What we really need is to bring in at least £750 every month. It's not that much if it's 400 people giving £2 a month. Some people might give more, so we need 300 people to become supporters so that we can stay afloat. Otherwise, we shut the laboratory and won't have a place to do preservation or archiving."

A Blind Meta Ray Ban Review 2025 covering new AI features, WhatsApp bots, and how they support the blind and low vision community.Tim Dixon (TIM DIXON)
Trotz Überschrift ist der Kommentar deutschlandfunk.de/kommentar-z… vom #DLF (leider nur auf seltsamen social media unterwegs) zur elektronischen Patientenakte auf weiten Strecken gut und ausgewogen.
Aber dann der Schluss: Man müsse halt auch mal mit halbgaren Lösungen starten, sonst bliebe nur das Faxgerät … 🤯
Ob die Kommentatorin in ein Auto steigt, bei dem man sich halt noch nicht um die Bremsen gekümmert hat? Und in einer Wohnung wohnt, bei dem das Dach noch nicht gebaut wurde?
Nein? Aha!

"Privacy on Trial: Meta’s DOJ Battle vs. Purism’s User-Centric Philosophy"
Meta claims it’s not a monopoly.
The FTC disagrees.
At the center of the case: Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp—moves the FTC argues were calculated to "neutralize competitive threats" and consolidate power across the digital landscape.
For those who reject Surveillance Capitalism—where your data is the product—Purism offers a bold alternative.

At Blind Ambition, we are always excited to see new technology that has the potential to transform everyday life for blind and partially sighted people. The recent updates to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses promise to be a real game-changer.Content Team (Blind Ambition)
@lulu_bear Blind Ambition responded very quickly to my feedback and have since updated their post to provide a more balanced and accurate perspective. I'm grateful to them for taking my feedback seriously and for responding so promptly. Here is the relevant portion of their blog post which they have revised.
It’s important to remember that, as empowering as this technology is, it must be used alongside traditional mobility aids, such as a long cane or a guide dog. This is not just a recommendation — it is absolutely essential. Smart glasses, no matter how advanced, cannot and will never replace critical mobility tools that have been developed over decades to ensure safety and independence for blind and partially sighted people. We cannot emphasise this enough.
Moreover, as magical as these AI-powered devices may seem, it’s important to acknowledge their limitations. Artificial Intelligence has a well-documented tendency to hallucinate — a polite way of saying that it can and does present inaccurate or entirely false information. As a blind person who regularly uses AI tools, I’m fully aware of the ways this technology benefits our community, but it’s vital to stay aware and cautious of these software limitations. Always verify information using multiple tools or human support where possible.

"Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company’s code was written by AI."
It can't be 30% by plain math. Just replacing 30% of existing code with new code takes (many) years, and then we include all produced code. If they ONLY used AI to write all code for the last few years, and they wrote it at a high pace, it could *perhaps* be done.
We all know that AI can't write code that good. But sure "up to 30%" could also mean "2%".
Of all *new* code perhaps? Still feels high.

Hello, if you care about Servo, the alternative web browser engine that was originally slated to be the next gen Firefox but now is a donation-supported project under the Linux Foundation, you should know of this week's Developments.
Specifically Servo announced a plan to, as of June, start allowing Servo code to be written by "Github Copilot":

@bagder Ah, maybe I should read the actual quote instead of just the top bullet points too: "I'd say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software," which is both a firmer statement on all code in repository and not just this year's code. But also includes any kind of software generated code.
Assuming of course that it is anything but a wild guess for marketing purposes.
