Hot take: I wish the Raspberry Pi project had chosen one of the BSDs as its primary OS rather than Linux. It's not as if there was a huge base of proprietary software that had already been compiled for ARMv6 Linux. And design decisions in Linux, particularly the kernel, have largely been driven by the interests of large-scale corporate users for a while. See, for example, this comment by @david_chisnall about the RCU algorithm as implemented in the kernel: lobste.rs/c/dqhaux

The past few days I've been building a small tool for checking how many members of a given Matrix room support which maximum room version. The idea has been sparked by room version 12 being released, so that one can assess the adoption rate for the new room version and make an educated decision on when to upgrade rooms.

You can check it out here:

I know there’s extra demand on Via Rail at the moment due to the Air Canada strikes, but do they really need to recreate the bad parts of the airport experience?

Making everyone queue round the block is just so regressive (this snake had two kinks so it would fit). In Europe people would be allowed to wait where they want, board when the departure platform is announced and then have their tickets checked on the train.

I just can’t believe we’ll tempt people away from flying and driving with these kinds of bad experiences 🤷‍♂️

Introduced my wife to AntennaPod for podcasts, as a step to wean us off Spotify, and her initial confusion was that she didn't have to log in to anything to use it, it just works, and she can find the podcasts she is interested in! 😊

The LLM clearly thinks I'm stupid.
I asked it about the colour options available on the [Ultrasonic Tooth Cleaner (a Dental Hygiene Tool for Plaque Removal) from Smile Therapy](smile-therapy.co.uk/products/u…)

The website is not offering to change the color of your teeth. Instead, it is displaying options to select the color of an "Ultrasonic Tooth Cleaner" device.

The product is described as featuring advanced vibration technology to help polish teeth and remove surface stains. There are color options for the device itself, not for changing the color of teeth. The available colors for the device include cyan, black, pink, teal, yellow, white, and orange.

The page lists a sale price of £24.99, down from £49.99, with additional special offers and payment options available.

August 1st - Googler asks the community if XSLT should be removed from the HTML living standard.
github.com/whatwg/html/issues/…

Respondents overwhelmingly reject the suggestion.

August 6th - Google starts work on removing XSLT from Chrome.
issues.chromium.org/issues/435…

August 14th - Googler sends PR to remove XSLT from the standard.
github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11…

Like, I don't have a particular view of whether this is a good idea or not. But these sham community engagement exercises piss me off.

in reply to Cassandrich

True that said I'm not sure WHATWG really has a consensus building process, case in point the last few comments being marked off-topic and then discussion locked while they point that libxslt has a lack of maintenance.

What I see is Google effectively answering "Fuck off" to the "Fuck you pay me" of libxslt maintainer, and WHATWG (mostly Google but not only) supporting that.

in reply to Terence Eden

It's a very selective approach to dropping parts of web. Chrome still supports <plaintext> tag that has been deprecated in HTML 2 (1995). And the tag does some wild stuff to HTML parsing. I'm also confident its usage is much lower than XSLT. Somehow no one's calling for removing its support.

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do…

The security argument is a bit disingenuous, too. First Google unleashes Project Zero on libxml/libxslt. They unload a whole bunch of security issues on the maintainer, propose no fixes. And now declare the project poorly maintained and insecure. Google has resources to fix all the issues and help maintain the libs. They have resources to write a new XML/XSLT lib in a safe language of their choice.

They just don't want to. And if they don't want, no amount of evidence or arguments can change that.

They started with "we want XSLT dropped” and then reasoned backwards to find some plausible arguments. Not started with the arguments that led to the conclusion that removing XSLT is overall the best solution.

How GNOME made its Calendar application accessible

This article will explain in details about the fundamental issues that held back accessibility in GNOME Calendar since the very beginning of its existence, the progress we have made with accessibility as well as our thought process in achieving it, and the now and future of accessibility in GNOME Calendar.

Didn't the Canadian public just give Air Canada $5.9B in a covid bailout the year before their execs got these salaries in 2022?

From Ben Thomson on X:
"Air Canada Executive salaries:
CEO M.Rousseau: $12.38 Million
CFO A.Kazzaz: $3.1 Million
COO C.Landry: $2.93 Million
CCO L.Guillemette: $2.74 Million
Exec VP A.Meloul-Wechsler: $2.0 Million

Full-time entry-level AC flight attendant earns LESS than minimum wage (27k/year before tax)

CEO makes 458x more than entry-level flight attendant

Time for AC executives to take a large pay cut"

Máme už dlouho robotický vysavač Roborock S7. Se ženou jsme si říkali, že i přes nepřízeň osudu, tzn. dvě děti a dva psi, ho zkusíme v podkroví načasovat na vysávání jednou za den. Takže nesmíme nechávat nic na zemi a ujišťovat se, že se někam nevyblil pes. Oba naštěstí většinou blijí jen do postele. Naplánovaný úklid je důležitý hlavně v tom, že jde o bod čistoty, kterému se přizpůsobí vše včetně nás.
in reply to Jiří Eischmann

@sesivany Máme přízemí a podkroví a zkoušíme zatím podkroví, kde se děti moc nepohybují. Nehrají si tam ani ve svém pokoji. Raději všechno natahají dolů do obýváku. Dole by se podle mě dal vytyčit koridor, kde by se řeklo, že co v něm bude to vysavač uzme. To by pokrylo kuchyň, chodbu, ženy místnost, koupelnu, záchod a část obýváku. Kostičky lega bychom ale asi nacházeli i tak.

I was cleaning out my closet this morning, looking for things that I should throw away. And as I was just about to finish up the job, I found a rectangular device. It's a thick little guy, and it sits neatly in a velcro case. It's a rectangle, and it's about the size of maybe an older phone from the early 2000s. However, I have no idea what it is. It has a severe case of rubber reversion, and I cannot tell if the charger port works anymore either. There's a lot of things I don't know, all I know, is it's not a toy. It has a charging port, a headphone jack, and the buttons that oddly make it look like some retro device. If you have any theories as to what it could be, feel free to share your thoughts in addition, there are buttons on the side of this device. I have seen some volume buttons as well, so there is that. That means there are speakers in this thing. However, when I was pressing the buttons on it, it did not talk or or make some sort of powering on sound.

In today's episode of #accessibility shit-fuckery, in an article comparing different platforms for hiring support workers on a website for a company which apparently specialises in disability support plan management:
"In the table below, we compare some of the key features of the most popular support worker platforms: Mable, Hireup, LikeFamily, Care Seekers and Find a Carer
image.png"
Wow. That's brilliant. Because surely people with a disability won't actually be reading this, will they? And making a table accessible is just so hard in 2025, so fuck that, we just won't bother.
