I learned about a new tool today from @hj and the deeper I look the more interesting it gets.
This could very well be the future foundation for a lot of high quality audio/video streaming projects in the open source world. They're doing the right things to make it super reliable at the network layer.

If you thought that Mozilla would go against Google, surprise surprise they will not.
So they also want to remove XSLT support from Firefox: github.com/mozilla/standards-p…
Maybe because 90% of their money comes from Google?
Moz is hopeless.

Wow, this campaign website against Google's plan to kick out XSLT is a thing of beauty.
After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, sign up to be part of this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. This isn’t about left vs. right — it’s about fighting back vs. losing. indivisible2026.org/?utm_sourc…
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime.Your Site Title
Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:
1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made
Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant

For some reason, Steve Jobs decided to travel back to the year 1982 and unvail the iPhone at a New York Yankees game, which I was at with my grandfather somehow. Never mind that he hated the yankees, this was two years before I was born, and I don't care about baseball.
Anyway, while we were there, I met this very northern British bloke who asked me if I knew someone called Kara Cogent, a blind woman who would open a sports club in about 43 years. I told him that I did, and I was so shocked about the entire thing that I sat up in my bed, waking up in a dorm room where @KaraLG84 was sleeping. So then I had to explain the whole thing to her and how weird it was.

@jepyang @matthew Yeah. These days "lifetime" really means "optional annual subscription" where you can continue using the old version as long as your OS will let you
Which, arguably, is better than forced annual subs where you can't use the app at all without shoveling out more money
I don't love it, but I do find it a better compromise than forced subs. You get to use the app as long as your OS lets you, & the dev gets paid for future work IF you find that new work compelling enough
@akrabu @matthew i mean, no chance in hell i’m subscribing to a fucking mastodon app, i would rather throw my phone into the sea.
i dont mind paying once for a decent piece of software, but marketing it specifically in opposition to the subscription apps before transitioning to a pseudo-subscription model feels overtly deceptive in the most techbro way.
sucks to wait over a year for basic bug fixes only to find out those are only coming to new purchasers (if they come at all)

MAGA: I have locked us all in this room and nobody can leave unless you let me drown this baby.
DEMS: Obviously no what the fuck
MAGA: Okay then I guess it's your fault we're locked in then.
DEMS: You're the one who locked the door.
MAGA: Yeah but you won't let us drown this baby tho so this is entirely your fault.
DEMS: You literally have all the power. You have all the keys.
MAGA: C'mon man just let us drown this baby we really really wanna! And then we can all go home for Christmas!
DEMS: Wait... What's that smell? Smells like... smoke?
MAGA: Oh yeah the house is on fire. Probably should've mentioned that.
DEMS: ON FIRE?? JESUS CHRIST WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!
MAGA: Yeah I know man, too bad you won't just let us drown this baby. Looks like we're all going to burn instead.
DEMS: Look just give me the baby and unlock the door. We still have time to get out of here alright!
MAGA: *sigh* no can do, buckaroo. See, this baby? It's gotta get drowned first, one way or another.
DEMS: BUT WHY THOUGH
MAGA: Yanno...just seems like the right thing to do. Sort of like that time I set the house on fire.
DEMS: You're fucking insane.
MAGA: Oh real mature, asshole. Calling us names at a time like this with the house on fire, and this baby STILL not drowned.
DEMS: Oh shit I just remembered, the fire extinguisher! Remember that fire extinguisher I bought us a few years ago? Do we still have that?
MAGA: Oh this? Yep still got it. It's awesome by the way.
DEMS: Oh thank Christ we're saved!
MAGA: But obviously we can't use it.
DEMS: WHY THE FUCK NOT
MAGA: Because it's for EMERGENCIES you dummy. Jeez Louise do I have to do all the thinking around here?
DEMS: THIS IS A FUCKING EMERGENCY YOU DILDO
MAGA: You're always so emotional. That's why nobody likes you.
DEMS: If. You. Use. The. Fire. Extinguisher. Nobody. Dies. And. Everyone. Can. Leave.
MAGA: Or you could just let me drown this baby.
DEMS: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
MAGA: Okay look we'll take a vote on it. All in favor of letting us drown this baby?
DEMS: NO!
8 DEMS: maybe
DEMS: what the fuck was that?
8 DEMS: let's at least hear him out.
DEMS: Yes let's hear out the psychopath who set the house on fire and wants to drown a baby. Great idea.
MAGA: Ok ok look I can see we're close to agreement here, so
DEMS: The fuck we are.
MAGA: So... I propose a compromise. I'll unlock the door and stop setting any more fires, and we can figure out whether to drown this baby *later*.
DEMS: Absolutely the fuck no.
8 DEMS: how much later.
MAGA: idk maybe tomorrow or next week or something?
DEMS: You know you can't trust them, right? Tell me you know you can't trust them.
MAGA: Depends on how quickly I can gather some more kindling and matches.
DEMS: What the fuck was that?
MAGA: Nothing. You're hearing things. So do we have a deal?
DEMS: NO
8 DEMS: yes
MAGA: Great! Let me just drown this baby real quick and we can all get out of here!

For whatever it's worth, tree views are completely inaccessible on Mac OS, and this has been a problem for years.
I know that's not what you're asking for, but might be worth knowing.
