I absolutely cannot figure out how to make the GNOME Text Editor (i.e. whatever they're calling gEdit this week) stop reopening old documents on startup.
I wish it would just fuck off and be a text editor instead of misbehaving "smart" nonsense.
El otro día me preguntaban por este libro, ilocalizable en papel. Por gentileza de la editorial Virus está online en pdf. Es un libro necesario, para entender cómo se organiza un montaje policial con infiltrados para cazar cabezas de turco.
Para todos ustedes, 'El caso Scala. Terrorismo de Estado y algo más', escrito por Xavier Cañadas Gascón, que cumplió condena de prisión por los hechos.
Google's war on ad-blockers continues! Google will slow down the update process for third-party extensions by requiring them to be reviewed by the Chrome Web Store. 🚫
This means YouTube can counter ad-blockers while slowing their release of workarounds. 🤢
This David and Goliath situation looks to be even more unbalanced than previously thought. 👉 tuta.com/blog/google-search-mo…
None of this is surprising. What stinks is that for some workflow and specific sites I still need Chrome and that will likely not change. 🙁 However for Youtube and other googley products, Firefox + extensions + PiHole works great currently.
This paper studies extractable memorization: training data that an adversary can efficiently extract by querying a machine learning model without prior knowledge of the training dataset.
Hmmm... it seems to be related to my VPN (@mullvadnet). Until today it always worked but now I just get a loading spinner in the browser if I visit tuta.com and using the desktop app gives me this:

Perhaps you (automatically?) blocked access to (some of?) the VPNs servers?
El PP celebra un lustro del bloqueo al que somete al Consejo General del Poder Judicial con un giro de tuerca que sitúa a los de Alberto Núñez Feijóo más lejos de las recomendaciones de la Unión Europea.
Sumar inicia desde el Gobierno la construcción de un frente amplio de partidos
Yolanda Díaz prepara un plan de tres fases para consolidar una plataforma electoral que aglutine a los partidos de izquierda en la que todo apunta a que no estará Podemos eldiario.es/politica/sumar-ini…
Yolanda Díaz sigue el camino pautado. Una vez lograda la investidura y el acuerdo con el Partido Socialista para colocar a Sumar dentro del Gobierno de coalición, el equipo de la vicepresidenta segunda ha comenzado a preparar el camino para consolida…
Estoy con Sumar en muchas cosas, pero no entiendo la intención de tirar a Podemos fuera.
No me lo creo en serio, pero es casi como si Díaz fuese un agente entrista del PCE recuperando el espacio para IU. No entiendo el motivo de esta postura.
A decade ago, a tribe of JS partisans took the web by the reigns, forked HTML and JS syntax, and yeeted useland abstractions into the critical path because "a better user experience".
This was premised on the idea that everyone's CPUs/networks would get faster the way their top-end phones did.
They could not have been more wrong.
JS-first web development has been a planetary-scale exercise in the rich making life harder for the less well-off.
To serve users at the global P75 of devices and networks, we can now afford ~150KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JavaScript (gzipped). This is a slight upgrade on last year's budgets, thanks to device and network improvements.
There have, of course, been good reasons to lean on userland abstraction – Safari sandbagged platform advancement, much the way IE6 used to – but repeated warnings didn't cause a change in developer behaviour.
The pushback to this sitrep in 2016 was *furious*:
Alex shows us the important things to focus on in performance, and how to run great experiences on slow, inconsistent networks and low-power devices.Links:Ke...
Ever since, the frontend community has poured its investment and attention into minor permutations of the same 2008-browser-centric frameworks and approaches.
It isn't working. We lost an entire decade on one great branch mispredict. The trends that used to deliver for "everyone" only continued for the rich.
For the rest, Moore's Law meant first-time access through hand-me-down CPUs and networks as prices fell. 2014's A53 Core still shows up in new budget phones today.
But world-historically rich programmers didn't want to hear about it, and browsers let them get away with UX murder.
Frontend's Lost Decade is now a threat to the value of the web to businesses and users. A collective failure to cap JS emissions that has destroyed value at shocking scale:
New web services are being built to a self-defeatingly low UX and performance standard, and existing experiences are now pervasively re-developed on unspeakably slow, JS-taxed stacks.
I'm not even sure that we world-historically rich programmers would be giving up much by going with one of the newer, lighter frameworks (e.g. Svelte, Solid, or Lit) instead of React. Or do we need to give up front-end JS frameworks altogether and go back to manual, imperative DOM manipulation?
@matt It's a whole thing...a series of false premises about what's good vs. bad for frontend; a pile of skills that don't hold their value through a new lens on the problem.
there is literally ONE major modern chat client today running natively, ALL others run electron - of which my macbook pro M1 16GB can't handle more than 2-3 of. nevermind everything else that now also runs electron, such as all modern game launchers and note apps.
I actually uninstalled all but 1 electron app yesterday (Joplin) because i'm done running at a crawl. It feels like my computer is now inadequate to do simple, modern, tasks.
@Beiz I wonder how much of the weight of those Electron apps is actually due to running a separate Chromium engine per app, and how much is due to React or similar frameworks.
@matt does it matter? electron exists solely as a lazy shortcut anyway and doesn't actually do anything that benefits the end user, only the developers (less effort, same pay, and to hell with anything else). electron is the digital answer to quantity over quality.
my intel m3 tablet hybrid can't even handle a single electron app without severely killing overall performance. but then again, neither can it do snaps or flatpaks without screeching to a halt, too.
@matt @Beiz Just libcef.dll is between 150 and 200 MB (the newer the library, the larger it is); with Electron, either the executable is 100-200 MB, or you have a nw.dll with a similar size (and that's not counting other support files).
If I look at pgAdmin4 v7, the runtime directory is 333 MB, of this there's 6 MB in node_modules and about 2 MB in assets and postgres-related files, so around 320 MB is just Electron. My mail client has the CEF runtime in a separate directory which weights 278 MB.
I've got 17 programs that use CEF and 19 that are Electron-based currently installed (not counting browsers).

Verisign will begin the transition to DNSSEC algorithm 13 (ECDSA) for the COM zone. Over the next few days. The DS record for the COM zone is expected to change from algorithm 8 to algorithm 13 on or around December 7
An important security enhancement will change the algorithm Verisign uses to sign top-level domains (TLDs) with Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC).

I want to sincerely apologize for an earlier reply that I submitted to this post. It was meant for a completely different thread and I'm mortified that it got posted as a reply to your post. I have no harsh feelings about NV Access, NVDA or anything from In-Process. Not sure if it was a weird VoiceOver focus issue that caused my post to be replied to yours but, again, I'm truly sorry and more than a little embarrassed.
@davidGoldfield Thanks David! I must admit I saw the original reply just as I was heading to bed, and I thought I'd have a closer look in the morning. It can happen to anyone 🙂
Thank you; that's extremely kind. I'm not sure how I managed to reply to your post unless I quickly swiped to it prior to swiping down and choosing Reply. Again, I'm truly sorry.
On this day 13 years ago, I produced this terrible thing. It was one of my first projects done entirely in Reaper, as I was just learning how to really do stuff. Yep, it's time to put Christmas through a trash compactor... sort of. youtube.com/watch?v=TID8PX0VL_…
In late 2010, I had just started a new job, and had the urgent and immediate need to learn a new DAW (Reaper, in this case.)Just to get some more familiarity...
@archos Jmenuje se to In-počasí a super je, že aktuální teplotu to nepredikuje, ale odečítá přímo z místních meteostanic, které jsou do toho připojené, takže je to vždy pravda. 👍
Mě se bohužel to in počasí párkrát seklo. Ukazovalo to například, že je momentálně 3+ jasno, a bylo -2 a zataženo. Nepamatuji přesně ale odchylky tam občas byly. Já jsem zatím spokojená nejvíc s aplikací #Meteoblue . Je tedy na GP, takže iluze nemám, ale co do počasí super. Radar, satelit, i webové kamery. Mají tam i grafy předvídatelnélosti což je super tím, že pak člověk není tak naštvaný z těch věšteb 🙂 @archos
@archos Ano, já šla nejprve na fdroid, ale opravdu tam nic moc není. Tenhle meteoblue je z těch x co jsem zkouška za mě nejlepší. Ale to je asi věc názoru 🙂 @electricCZ
@Milu P. Pragerova @Archos :distros_arch: :matrix: @Václav Pašek Meteo Blue je fakt pokiaľ ide o kvalitu údajov veľmi dobrý. Mám známeho, ktorý tieto veci okolo počasia sleduje trošku viac ako my bežní konzumenti a on ich tiež odporúča.
@archos První bych se mrknul na Weather Underground, jestli není už nějaká stanice v okolí. Ta síť je fakt hodně hustá. V Brně jsou desítky stanic. Pokud jo, tak můžeš klidně jen sledovat data z ní. Je jedno, jestli to je u tebe nebo u souseda o 100m dál. Psal jsem o tom před časem na blog, kde je i uvedeno, co jsem pořídil: blog.eischmann.cz/2023/07/10/l… @electricCZ

FINALLY a place that lets me use cool names to submit and give professional talks!!
If the dumb founding fathers/framers can write a few idiotic papers under the name "Publius" I get the right to give talks as Björkus "No time_t to Die" Dorkus.
so a group of russian queer activists residing in germany opened an official petition to the bundestag to help trans people from russia easily flee to germany. it's not some change org shit, it's literally on bundestag's website.
but the issue is, we need at least 50k votes for it to be reviewed
you don't have to be a citizen of germany for your vote to be considered. please take a second to vote. lives depend on your decision

I watched it on Nebula this evening, all in one sitting because it glides like it's on maglev rails and didn't want to deal with YouTube ads; it's kind of amazing that a nearly 4 hours video essay is up to 1.7m views in less than a day
My partner Deedra reported an accessibility issue in the Monal XMPP client recently, and their reply included the following help request:

I don't know anything about this stuff, but I hope I can find people who do. Any takers? Probably you should reach out to the project directly via email, to info at monal-im dot org. Please boost far and wide.
