Pong is 50 years old today.

Little known fact: Pong has no code. Pong doesn't even have a microprocessor. Al Alcorn hardwired the game with transistor-to-transistor logic. (See Henry Lowood: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5…)

I was listening to the #BBC's #DigitalPlanet this morning & happy to get the tip of downloading & archiving your data from #Twitter.

You can see how to do it here help.twitter.com/en/managing-y…

You need to "Request an Archive" but it is worthwhile doing, especially if you have invested a lot in that legacy platform.

Our @zbus Windows CI jobs fails 60-80% of the time (almost guaranteed on the first run) with an "Unable to open shared memory" error. Would anyone with some Windows dev xp happen to know or can take a look what happens?

I've noticed that typically it's the doc tests that fail.

Dutch train news: NS is delaying the introduction of the new Intercity trains until at least the second quarter of 2023 as they are not yet reliable enough for revenue service.

After 2 years of negotiations with Microsoft, the German Data Protection Conference issued a damning statement: German schools must not use MS365 due to privacy violations.

Fortunately, Linux, LibreOffice & Tutanota are very good alternatives. 💪🔐

2. We need more diverse feedback on how to replace the (very tech oriented) word "instances", please join the discussion here ideas.joinpeertube.org/posts/1…

Thanks a lot! (and please boost 🥰 )

Some talks I've given on fediverse stuff over the years:

Social Solutions to Social Networking, about cool stuff you can do when you're not scaling a huge platform - videos.theconference.se/darius…

Trust is Not Harmful, about what we mean when we talk about trust and "trustless" on fediverse vs web3 - vimeo.com/354276253

Squishy Amoeba-Like Objects, about topology of federated communities - youtube.com/watch?v=qxBu5Tktm1…

The first video is probably the most "intro for a general audience" of the three.

It’s not about whether Zuckerberg is good or bad, vampire or human. It’s about getting to a place where we don’t have to care."

Elon rant
A small business complaining about Apple's 30% cut? Totally on board with that.
Elon Musk protesting Apple's 30% cut? Goodness, how ever will he afford to pay for that? It just makes him look like more of a whiny, petulant, entitled jerk than he already does.

Sure, let's just go ahead and delete all the data about beneficial owners of companies in the EU. What could go wrong? Seriously, WTAF, Europe?

ft.com/content/e4b31a4e-a79d-4…

European countries have begun taking down public registers of who owns their companies in the wake of a shock court ruling that campaigners have condemned as a major step backwards in the fight for corporate transparency and against economic crime.

Luxembourg and the Netherlands on Wednesday closed their public beneficial ownership registers, which show the ultimate owners of their companies, following the ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union, which invalidated public access.

Its judgment found that “the general public’s access to information on beneficial ownership constitutes a serious interference with the fundamental rights to respect for private life and to the protection of personal data”, according to a press release from the court.

Promising work on resolving a Firefox bug where `<th>`s with CSS `flex` and `grid` are exposed as cells, not headers:

When that deploys it will leave Safari ≤16.1 as the last browser that breaks tables using CSS display properties.

And yes, this is the kind of stuff I track because it’s late-2022 and browsers (mostly Safari) still break accessibility via CSS display properties:

Hot-take think pieces on how "bad" fedi is by people who joined a week ago remind me of this seminal article of deep insight:

Children, Self Harm, Suicide

I saw this video and aside from it being more than heartbreaking, and more than depressing, it made me think. all the new #fedi22 people I've been following have been adults But that's obvious based on who I am and follow. Has anyone seen any uptick in teenagers switching from mainstream socials to the fediverse?

Of course a different question is if and how they *should* be on social media, but that's beyond the scope of this discussion.

Children, Self Harm, Suicide
@OpenComputeDesign I am also one of the fediverse's young members (19 now, 15 when I joined). I know a few (basically my friends, some of whom are a little younger than me), but we're all tech / FOSS nerds, so aren't really representative of the wider teenaged population. That's why this interests me.
in reply to Michael Connor Buchan

Children, Self Harm, Suicide
that's also why I'm keeping whether teens should be on socials at all out of this. For me it has been a life changing experience, and first YouTube, now the fediverse and the wider internet, have lead me down the path to FOSS, programming, sys-admin, and made me countless invaluable friends along the way. But for whatever reason, I've never once contemplated anything like self-harming, and I know my story is very different to a lot of others' experiences

Ever wished it was easier to view posts or profiles from another Mastodon instance on *your* instance, without any manual copy & paste?

I made Masto-Redirect, a shortcut that can redirect both account pages and individual posts to your own Mastodon instance.

Takes 1 minute to set up, can run on all Apple platforms. Free to download. Hope you'll find this useful: macstories.net/ios/masto-redir…
