I see lots of people in my feed excited about Firefox landing vertical tabs, but honestly the game changer in the 140 release for me is the fact that you can finally add your own custom search engines without writing an entire dog damned extension for each of them. I think that was the last UI feature that sometimes made me miss Chrome.

I discovered a fun and strangely obvious trick for summarizing videos faster and reducing costs: just speed them up. Cheaper, faster OpenAI transcriptions with a little ffmpeg trick.

I still support my 87-year-old English teacher with her computer. It started in 2003 when I was 15. We bought her a PC, set up a WEB.DE email, and installed @thunderbird to avoid WEB.DEâs bloated UI. Weâve replaced the computer twice, but she still uses the same email address in #Thunderbird.
Today, she called and asked me to help her donate âŹ50 to Thunderbird. When she hears how others struggle with ad-filled webmail, sheâs always grateful for her clean, simple setup.
You might be the best student ever! Thank you so much for helping your teacher switch to Thunderbird all those years ago, and we're glad we're still here to help her avoid ads and webmail! Please tell your teacher thank you from all of us at the Thunderbird team! đ đ
"The Chamber of Deputies approved in general the bill on the new National Guard Law, which allows for the transfer of the National Guard to the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena), the monitoring of communications by the army and the possibility for military personnel to run for elected office.
"The reforms completely eliminate civilian control of the force and grant full management of its administrative and operational functions to the military. In addition, the National Guard will now be empowered to conduct covert operations, use 'simulated users', access geo-referenced data and intercept communications."
Mozilla Formally Discontinues Its DeepSpeech Project
One of the interesting projects engaged in by Mozilla that directly wasn't related to their web browser efforts was DeepSpeech, an embedded/offline speech-to-text engine. To not much surprise given the lack of activity in recent years, last week they finally and formally discontinued the open-source project... phoronix.com/news/Mozilla-DeepâŠ
I wrote a little about the new Camera Remote feature coming to AirPods in iOS 26 and what it could mean for accessibility, but also what it says about Apple's approach to product development.
Ryan Christoffel reports for 9to5 Mac this week a new feature in iOS 26 is a harbinger of camera-equipped AirPods Pro. Among the enhancements coming to AirPods this year is a Camera Remote feature.

I'm not offended if my tax dollars go to medical care for, well, anybody -- or for school lunches, education, etc. I am offended when my tax dollars are used to kill innocent people. Why this is not a mainstream opinion I have no idea.
CALGARY â Whether Alberta should withhold social services from immigrants is among the issues Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is tabling for debate this summer when she travels the province to consult citizens on potential referendum questions.

128 Democrats cross aisle to join Republicans to block impeachment bill brought by Al Green & AOC against Donald Trump for his unconstitutional attacks against Iran. Seriously, they have a chance to impeach Trump for one of his many crimes against humanity & the people of the US, and Dems take the side of the oppressor & give permission for these abuses. The list includes Raskin, Pelosi, Wasserman-Schultz. quislings every one.
people forget how influential Palm webOS was. lots of modern iOS uses similar patterns.

Someone on Reddit asked for the old Braillenote startup sound yesterday. I never used a Braillenote myself, I went straight from Perkins to computer. My first computer lived on a trolley in a cupboard, but by the late 1990's I was rocking a Toshiba with a speech synthesizer on a PCMCIA card. That was absolutely amazing. The portability! Fabulous.
Oddly enough it wasn't until I started working at a school for the blind in 2013 that I saw more than one Braille notetaker in use. They were still on Apex's back then, there were a few mPowers kicking about too.
A viral article about « getting off US tech » that mentions email, office suites, music and video streaming services, search and maps⊠but NOT the publishing platform where the article was posted.
Spoiler alert: it was Substack - the ensh*tt*f*ed Nazi bar supported by A16Z that platforms and profits from far right content.
Substack alternatives: Ghost, Wordpress, BeeHiiv, Buttondown. I use Ghost & Wordpress and LOVE them
Technological platforms are not neutral. If we truly want to resist the digital coup that is currently under way, we need to normalize the use of free, open source solutions.
An die GPN-Orga wurden (leider) eine niedrige einstellige Anzahl an Skabies-FÀllen (KrÀtze) im GPN-Umfeld herangetragen. Die herangetragenen FÀlle haben sich selbstÀndig isoliert und in Behandlung begeben.
Wir wollen mit dieser Mitteilung an alle noch einmal Aufmerksamkeit und SensibilitÀt in der Community stÀrken.
**tl;dr: Nach der GPN gab es einige wenige FÀlle von KrÀtze (Skabies). Wenn du 2-5 Wochen nach der GPN starken Juckreiz (besonders nachts) oder Hautausschlag bemerkst, gehe bitte zu Àrztlichem Fachpersonal und informiere deine engen Kontaktpersonen. Offene Kommunikation ist wichtig, um die Verbreitung zu stoppen und Stigmatisierung zu vermeiden.**
Skabies wird durch die KrĂ€tzmilbe verursacht und ist eine ansteckende Hautkrankheit. Die Ăbertragung erfolgt in der Regel durch engen und lĂ€ngeren Hautkontakt (mindestens 5-10 Minuten), zum Beispiel beim Kuscheln, Flauschen, HĂ€ndchenhalten oder gemeinsames Schlafen in einem Bett. Auch das Teilen von Kleidung, HandtĂŒchern oder BettwĂ€sche kann ein Risiko darstellen, wenn diese kurz zuvor von einer infizierten Person benutzt wurden. Ein schneller, flĂŒchtiger Kontakt (z.B. HĂ€ndeschĂŒtteln, simple Umarmung) ist in der Regel nicht ausreichend fĂŒr eine Ansteckung.
Symptome treten allerdings erst zwei bis fĂŒnf Wochen nach der Ansteckung auf, bei einer erneuten Infektion auch frĂŒher. Typische Anzeichen sind:
Starker Juckreiz, besonders nachts im warmen Bett. Hautrötungen, BlĂ€schen oder kleine Knötchen, oft an FingerzwischenrĂ€umen, Handgelenken, Achseln, Bauch, im Genitalbereich oder an den FĂŒĂen. Mitunter sind feine, dunkle MilbengĂ€nge auf der Haut sichtbar. Was tun bei Verdacht auf KrĂ€tze?
Wenn du den Verdacht hast, dich angesteckt zu haben, oder die genannten Symptome bei dir bemerkst, ist es wichtig, schnell zu handeln und vor allem deine (Haut-)Kontakte zu informieren:
Informiere Kontaktpersonen: Sprich offen mit Personen, mit denen du engen Kontakt hattest (Familie, Freunde, Mitbewohnende etc.). Dies ermöglicht es ihnen, ebenfalls auf Symptome zu achten und gegebenenfalls einen Ărzt*in aufzusuchen. Offenheit und Kommunikation sind hier entscheidend, um die Ausbreitung einzudĂ€mmen. Geh zu deine*r Ărzt*in: Nur ein*e Ărzt*in kann eine gesicherte Diagnose stellen und die richtige Behandlung einleiten. KrĂ€tze ist sehr gut behandelbar, aber eine unbehandelte Infektion kann zu weiteren Beschwerden fĂŒhren und die Ansteckungsgefahr erhöhen. HygienemaĂnahmen beachten: Befolge die Anweisungen deiner Ărzt*in bezĂŒglich der Behandlung und ergĂ€nzender HygienemaĂnahmen (z.B. Waschen von Kleidung und BettwĂ€sche bei mindestens 60 °C, grĂŒndliche Reinigung von Textilien, die nicht gewaschen werden können). Leider ist Skabies hĂ€ufig mit Stigmatisierung verbunden. Wir haben die Erfahrung gemacht, dass gerade queere Betroffene, die nicht in heteronormativen Beziehungskonstellationen leben, bei Ă€rztlichem Fachpersonal schwer UnterstĂŒtzung finden. Besteht bei bekannten Kontakt daher bitte daher um so stĂ€rker um Untersuchung und Behandlung.
Gemeinsam schaffen wir auch hier einen Umgang miteinander, der nicht stigmatisierend ist, sondern konstruktiv und allen ein prÀventives Handeln ermöglicht.
