I wrote a brief piece about Alice Wong’s passing away over the weekend. It's an honor to think she appreciated my work, and the disability community will miss her.

I upgraded an app from using #Gradle 8.13 to version 9.2.1. Not because I wanted to, I dread upgrading Gradle, but because I needed it to work with Java 25.
Predictably, my build definition (`build.gradle.kts`) broke, with some deprecated APIs being removed. This isn't some coincidence, Gradle's APIs get deprecated all the time, nothing's safe.
I don't think I have ever upgraded Gradle without noticing source compatibility breakage. I can't think of any other API I've used that's worse.
Who would like Rust in CPython 3.15?
@emmatyping and Kirill Podoprigora "propose introducing the Rust programming language to CPython. Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython and allowed to be used throughout the CPython code base."

#chatmail might be a new way to deliver email but it's not a new way to deliver mail :)
"Poste restante" or "general delivery" or "waiting mail" is a mode where one can send a message to a name or, in some countries, pseudonym, @ a post office address and then someone else can come and get it, showing their name or pseudonym (passphrase). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poste_re…
Curious, which of you know/have used the poste restante mode of delivering postal mail at one point in your life?
We knew this day would come eventually.

If you haven't cancelled #Mozilla yet, check out tabstack.ai/
yes that's a captcha-dodger scraper bot for "AIs". as a service. powered by the Mozilla Corporation. now you know how they're planning to make bank.
oddly under-the-cover project, isn't it? not even showing in search engines. I wonder why 
Hubert Figuière reshared this.
what is a better funding model for Mozilla than ads, search engine deals (now going away), or getting ahead of the AI business and building something like this?
Where are all the passionate Mozilla fans/users who want to shape its future and knows exactly how to generate enough revenue to support the project? They never seem to materialize
also to be fair, they're not hiding this from search engines. Their robots.txt is wide open

this sounds fascinating, I’ve been slightly intrigued by multi line graphical brow displays but didn’t want to pay out like the Bajillion dollar price tag on the other ones.
How much was this?
Also, I’m curious how this might produce a visual PDF for example. Like in my case, a LEGO friend booklet visual PDF

Hello from the Activator!
Over the next couple of days, this Braille display will move into my home. For almost thirty years, I've come back to Help Tech displays time and again, despite trying out other display vendors' products in the interim as well. But because of their quality and endurance, I keep returning to these displays, and am proud to add the Activator to the list of Braille displays I own, or owned.helptech.eu/braille-displays-a…Activator, the new Braille display with QWERTY keyboard

Ever wonder why the "vi" editor uses H, J, K, and L keys for cursor navigation, and why Unix shells traditionally use "~" as an alias for the home directory?
The ADM-3A terminal was a very popular and inexpensive Unix terminal in the 1970s. Notice where the arrow keys are, and where the "~" key is? It influenced a lot!

Hallo vom Activator!
In den nächsten Tagen wird bei mir diese Braillezeile einziehen. Heute habe ich beim Tag der Offenen Tür von Helptech Hamburg ausführlich damit gespielt, sozusagen als Appetitanreger. Ich freue mich, auch von der neuesten Generation der Zeilen von Help Tech eine zu besitzen.

🆕 blog! “OpenBenches 💖 OpenStreetMap”
When Liz and I created the OpenBenches website, it was just designed to be a fun way for people to record memorial benches. Since then things have got out of hand and we now have over thirty-nine thousand benches recorded!
Our plan was never to compete with something like OpenStreetMap. The OSM project is vast, complex, and…
