Going build-free with native JavaScript modules | Weblog | Django

"Modern CSS supports many of the features natively that the build tools were created for. CSS nesting to organize code, variables, @supports for feature detection.
JavaScript ES6 / ES2015 was a big step forward, and the language has been progressing steadily ever since. It now has native module support with the import / export keywords
Meanwhile, with HTTP/2 performance improvements, parallel requests can be made over the same connection, removing the constraints of the HTTP/1.x protocol."

WOW, lots of negative posts today. But am I seriously the only one who is so, so sick of everyone (AKA the big tech bros) making AI related choizes for you? Like, this is so crazy. Basically, soon Windows 11/12 will be an AI powered operating system with more resource usage and AI monitoring than freedom, whose code is being written by AI which already loses overview at a few thousand lines of code. and only will introduce accessibility issues.
Don't get me wrong here please. I use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AIs by myself. But I know it's bundaries. I know it's not smart letting it control your important stuff, giving it your private data and relying on it more than anything else.
But that? Almost every time I see AI the addition is completely dumb. I wonder how the companies haven't got sick of seeing and making AI everywhere, because I for my part am.
Ramble done.

Re. last boost: We all know that at the end everyone willingly looks away another time and forgives Meta, because that is how it has been.

Not use WhatsApp?
Impossible in Germany where you're either over 70 or a weird nerd if you don't use it.

I don't want to be seen as a weirdo/nerd. But I despise Meta very much and don't want to support their income generating by giving them their data.

Oh, and on one of my other streams I also did the pre-proof theory stuff. Syntax, semantics, natural deduction, soundness, sketch of completeness. Some of that was review. It was neat to see the meaning of soundess (Gamma - phi implies Gamma |= phi). So if you can derive phi from Gamma by syntactic rules, then for all assignments in Gamma, phi is true. (Hopefully I didn't misunderstand this.)

Natural deduction always annoys me though, because it looks almost like a programming language, a tactic set, but it isn't really. It's not about mutating the context state but about proof trees, scopes are implicit.

And of course I was asked to show DNE in the wrong direction (~~p -> p) with just the usual rules (impl intro and elim, etc). And of course it can't be done. Not if you can't assume LEM.

Quick FYI: Codeberg.org has been operational since at least 20:23 UTC (21:23 CET), but our super-duper highly appreciated system administrators grew a bit too tired after dealing with the situation described above, so another social media manager is sharing this one.

This process was a little bit more adventurous ✨ than anticipated, but we believe it was worth the trouble.

Wishing you all a pleasant evening! :)

Today I finished my maths unit on sequences and series at last. It took me two weeks and I'm still not fully reliable on everything.

Went from recurrences (affine and homogeneous linear 1st order and homogeneous 2nd order) to sequence convergence, series (geometric, p), and convergence tests: comparison, Leibniz, ratio, root, Direchlet.

It annoys me how long it takes me to go through this stuff. A lot of it I should already know (like the sum of a geometric series). Also I hate reindexing.

My wife ordered some dog training toys from Ireland. They got stuck in customs. Got a notice to contact DHL. DHL says,

"Unfortunately, your shipment's progress has been seized by official government authority and this shipment will not be delivered or returned to DHL"

Uhh.. wtf?

We expected she'd have to pay some kind of stupid tariff or something maybe but now apparently the product is just... gone? Stolen by the government?

What the hell?

GrapheneOS Foundation Response To French Media Inquiries(UPDATED: 11-20-2025)

We were contacted by a journalist at Le Parisien newspaper with this prompt:

I am preparing an article on the use of your secure personal data phone solution by drug traffickers and other criminals. Have you ever been contacted by the police?

Are you aware that some of your clients might be criminals? And how does the company manage this issue?


Absolutely no further details were provided about what was being claimed, who was making it or the basis for those being made about it. We could only provide a very generic response to this.

Our response was heavily cut down and the references to human rights organizations, large tech companies and others using GrapheneOS weren't included. Our response was in English was translated by them: "we have no clients or customers" was turned into "nous n’avons ni clients ni usagers", etc...

GrapheneOS is a freely available open source privacy project. It's obtained from our website, not shady dealers in dark alleys and the "dark web". It doesn't have a marketing budget and we certainly aren't promoting it through unlisted YouTube channels and the other nonsense that's being claimed.

GrapheneOS has no such thing as the fake Snapchat feature that's described. What they're describing appears to be forks of GrapheneOS by shady companies infringing on our trademark. Those products may not even be truly based on GrapheneOS, similar to how ANOM used parts of it to pass it off as such.

France is an increasingly authoritarian country on the brink of it getting far worse. They're already very strong supporters of EU Chat Control. Their fascist law enforcement is clearly ahead of the game pushing outrageous false claims about open source privacy projects. None of it is substantiated.

iodéOS and /e/OS are based in France. iodéOS and /e/OS make devices dramatically more vulnerable while misleading users about privacy and security. These fake privacy products serve the interest of authoritarians rather than protecting people. /e/OS receives millions of euros in government funding.

Those lag many months to years behind on providing standard Android privacy and security patches. They heavily encourage users to use devices without working disk encryption and important security protections. Their users have their data up for grabs by apps, services and governments who want it.

There's a reason they're going after a legitimate privacy and security project developed outside of their jurisdiction rather than 2 companies based in France within their reach profiting from selling 'privacy' products.

Here's that article:

archive.is/AhMsj

There's another article posted at lefigaro.fr/secteur/high-tech/…. We don't have a subscription to access it so we can't evaluate whether the coverage is fairer. Need our community to check. There's an ongoing attempt to smear GrapheneOS by French government agencies so there will be more articles.

The reality is that a tiny proportion of the GrapheneOS userbase are criminals, clearly far below 1%. It's a rounding error. The vast majority of criminals use Android and iOS. French law enforcement contains a vastly higher proportion of criminals than the GrapheneOS userbase.

French law enforcement has a disproportionately high number of domestic abusers, pedophiles and other criminals. They routinely illegally violate the human rights of French citizens. They're upset they can't break into phones of a small handful of people because of GrapheneOS.

You probably don’t need `aria-label` for that thing.

It doesn’t auto-translate:
adrianroselli.com/2019/11/aria…

It’s code smell:

You can probably use better methods:

aria-label Does Not Translate

As of my 25 July 2025 update at the end of this post, aria-label auto-translation support is less spotty than when I first wrote this post, but still unreliable. It does, actually. Sometimes.

Today, November 19, is World Toilet Day.

In honor of this, in 2018, when November 19 fell on a Monday, I recorded an introduction to week 47 of 2018 using a couple of toilets flushing, a vocoder, and my own voice, such that the toilets are speaking.

The thing about using live captioning on the iPhone when in public is that it doesn't discriminate between 2 people speaking. I was ordering a coffee and someone else was cussing out another person, so my captions looked like "What you fucking asshole! size would you fuck that! and fuck you! like?" I was .... SO confused! YIKES! #Deafblind

A surprising amount can be read from the data, and for some users, it can be life-threatening.


The entire WhatsApp profile database (including correlatable phone numbers and face photos) leaked.

- Copilot was forced to nearly every MS user without their consent
- Gemini starts each time an Android user touch their smartphone main button
- Whatsapp users suddenly interact with an AI they can’t disable
- Firefox will soon have its own AI
- Even myself, as a @protonprivacy and @kagihq user, I received access to multiple chatbots I never asked for

But remember: statistics show that "people are using AI tools !"

If you trust those statistics, you are deep into the delusion bubble.

I'll call out Debian: Debian tracks our kernels very well. Debian runs the world. Over 70% of all servers in the world run Debian. Everything else is a rounding error [...]
👉 Debian: really, really good. I work with the Debian developers all the time. I can't recommend them enough. Their systems are good.
