Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of decentralized blockchain Ethereum, has issued a warning to his fellow tech leaders against choosing a candidate purely based on whether they claim to be “pro-crypto.”

While he didn’t name any candidate specifically, his warning comes just one day after prominent venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz announced their support for Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“In a blog post, Buterin said it’s more important to scrutinize a candidate’s broader policies to ensure they support cryptocurrency’s underlying goals, including internationalism and protection for private communications,” reports @Techcrunch. Here’s more.

We need ARIA but for terminals.

Yes, I said this a million times already, but the state of terminal accessibility is honestly that sad.

People complain about React, but React at least gives you the ability to be accessible. With TTY apps, you either make the UX suck for the 99% of users or you make it suck for the 0.001%.

Ah joy ... Google is turning off its URL shortener and breaking every link that ever used it:

developers.googleblog.com/en/g…

A quick search on lore.kernel.org:

lore.kernel.org/all/?q=goo.gl%…

...turns up about 19,000 messages with affected links. That's a lot of history that is going to become harder (or impossible) to find.

I just had an idea for a talk about that explores the issues around our never-ending battle around technical abstractions and complexity. The problem is it contains heavy spoilers for The Flash movie. So I'm torn.

On the one hand, we all hate spoilers. On the other hand, I'm kind of thinking a bunch of people skipped this movie on purpose and have no plans to see it. For... reasons. 😂

I have no plans to see the movie because I'm not into superhero movies generally. I figure there are enough other developers in that category to make the talk worthwhile.

The fact that it's 2024 and the CNAM registry still exist and works is so weird to me.

Yeah. If Mastodon is going to support image, audio, and video attachments, they ought to support attaching a self-contained HTML file and putting that in an iframe as well. I think modern browsers provide a way to do that with strong sandboxing for untrusted HTML.

With many people getting COVID from the summer surge, a reminder that the CDC's isolation guidelines are inadequate.

CDC shortened their isolation guidelines, not because of a change in the science, but in response to political pressure to keep people working even if they are sick.

Science shows most people are infectious for 10+ days; it's best to isolate until you test negative on multiple tests. If you can't stay home the whole time, wear an N95 mask to stop the virus spreading to others.

Infographic with chart of COVID infectiousness time Text: How Long Are You Contagious With COVID-19? Studies suggest: • Most people are infectious for ~10 days • ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset • Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever • Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness • Individuals can be infectious before the onset of symptoms • Asymptomatic cases represent at least 20 to 40% of all infections

ChatGPT4 describes the image as: "The image captures a huge explosion with a large fireball, likely from a significant detonation or blast, towering into the sky. The fireball is a bright, intense yellow/orange color, and the lighting suggests that the explosion has created a lot of energy, heat, and force. The explosion appears to be occurring outdoors. In the foreground, there are two leafless trees, which indicates that the event might be happening during autumn or winter. Their stark, bare branches create a somber, almost foreboding contrast to the fiery chaos behind them. There is no clear indication of what caused the explosion or the exact location, but the dramatic nature suggests it could be from an accident such as a gas explosion, an industrial disaster, or even something intentional like a bomb. The setting, with bare trees and an overwhelming blaze, hints at a severe and destructive event." Blakes7Bot, version 3.6.8.

Used to use Aftershocks Airopex a while ago, and loved them. They were great, until I wore them in the shower, and while they still work, either the moisture or, more likely IMO, the heat caused some parts inside the left transducer to come loose. They still work, but they rattle like crazy if you turn them up now, which is rather unpleasant, so I'm back to Airpods with transparency.

It really would be neat if #Spotify had an option to view the English translation of lyrics to songs that aren't in English and vice versa.

Prior to C23, the C standard does not specify an underlying type for enumerations other than that it be compatible with int, which is itself unspecified beyond being a signed number of no less than 16 bits in size.

C23 gives us the ability to actually specify the underlying type of an enum, which makes bit-flag enums much more portable, among other things. This is a standardization of existing common compiler extensions, of course. Clang and GCC have had it for years.

enum mode_t : uint8_t { FILE_MODE_READ = 1 << 0, FILE_MODE_WRITE = 1 << 1, FILE_MODE_APPEND = 1 << 2 }; struct file_operations; struct file { enum mode_t mode; struct file_operations *operation; };

Does anyone know of a good alternative to sway notification center? The notifications list has become annoying to use recently, and the dev doesn't know how to fix the accessibility issue. I know about ednc-mode in emacs, but that's not exactly ideal. I'd like something I can open with a binding and view a list of notifications. I've tried to use xfce4-notifyd which does work, but because the notification is a window, focus keeps getting jumped to it every time there's a new notification, which also isn't ideal. #Linux #accessibility

SwayNotificationCenter had too many issues for me as well. It is a nice idea, but it needs much more work.

I have been happily using mako (github.com/emersion/mako). With a bit of scripting, I have made it completely keyboard accessible under sway.

@wielding Is it accessible with the orca screen reader though? If it's made in a toolkit that isn't presenting its accessibility tree to at-spi, it's completely inaccessible. GTK and QT do this automatically, but I'm pretty sure that particular daemon is made using something else.

In some rare cases we have to reverse engineer APIs from Google that are not in any capacity published by Google. We do this only if required for interoperability, which is a right provided through laws and regulations in many countries (incl. the EU) that can't be restricted by terms.

This makes all of our doing legal. Google would be able to restrict their services to detect and ban users of microG, but this may cause antitrust issues for them, so we expect it to be unlikely.

I know I haven’t created a lot of new stuff lately.

With the culture and changes in tech I sometimes wonder what I should be doing.

I’ve more or less come to the conclusion that people working in tech are craving authenticity and genuine conversations with others that aren’t about the hustle or latest hype.

So I that’s where I’ll be focusing the content I create.

Does anyone know of any tooling to autoconvert bash/zsh completions to fish?

This command doesn't convert bash/zsh completions to fish, but it does give you a lot more completions based on what you have installed:

fish_update_completions

It scans all the man pages on your system, extracts the commands and their flags, and makes it all autocompleteable (with inline summaries of flags).

It might make many, if not most, of those bash/zsh completions not needed?
