I just read on the fediverse about a trackball input system that is open hardware. When I looked at the website I found out that they design a headphone and several trackballs and mice.
I am happy with my computer mouse. But out of curiosity I might try a product of them later this year
Ich hab ja schon ein paar Mal über die #Barrierefreiheit des Portals lebensmittelwarnung.de berichtet und unter anderem deren kreative Lösung für Alternativtexte in der Software gelobt, für die sie eigentlich nicht ausgerüstet war.
Tatsächlich haben sie die Seite wie angekündigt diesen Sommer auf eine neue technische Basis gestellt. Das Ergebnis ist wirklich gut gelungen und weitestgehend zugänglich. Gute Arbeit, Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit!

New LeaseyBite: Using Enafore, Mastodon and Leasey.
This is the first of a number of LeaseyBites to be produced before the end of August 2024.
In this episode, we look at how the September update to Leasey will help you to use Enafore to access your Mastodon account if you wish.
LeaseyBites are available using most podcast providers.
The audio for this episode is here.

So am I to understand that a full 38% of my revenue may now be siphoned off by Patreon and Apple, neither of whom contribute in any way to the creation of my work?
And that this is because Patreon wants to have an iOS app, which I do not need, do not benefit from, did not exist when I selected them as my payment processor, and cannot opt out of?
Um, no thank you.
I called this as a danger almost a year ago, btw:

The internet has become one big roach motel. I lay the blame for this development solely at the feet of The Platform; the proliferation of venture-capitalist backed walled gardens, which are incentivized to trap users inside and milk them like cattle…evhaste.com

fun Linux fact:
There are at least two places in the Linux kernel where performance-sensitive code paths use a, uh, retrospective approach to memory safety, where you do the memory read first (and suppress the occasional kernel page fault) and worry about making sure it was memory-safe later.
One of the two is in the SLUB allocator's lockless allocation fastpath: elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10…
It (1) first loads the pointer to the current top freelist element, then (2) reads the next freelist pointer out of that element, and (3) does a double-wide atomic compare-exchange to check if it raced and replace the freelist head. The read in step (2) can return garbage or fault if someone else concurrently modified the freelist (basically it can be UAF), but in that case step (3) that uses the result of the read is guaranteed to fail, so it's fine.
The other one is in the Virtual File System layer, used for printing pathnames (like for getcwd()):
elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10…
As the comment there explains:
* The source of the prepend data can be an optimistic load<br> * of a dentry name and length. And because we don't hold any<br> * locks, the length and the pointer to the name may not be<br> * in sync if a concurrent rename happens, and the kernel<br> * copy might fault as a result.<br> *<br> * The end result will correct itself when we check the<br> * rename sequence count, but we need to be able to handle<br> * the fault gracefully.<br>

Another lesson in "Don't Use An App for things that should be a Website":

Basically, Apple is going to steal 30% of Patreon's money that's supposed to go to creators. Because... Apple. If it's an app and it's in their store, they will squeeze you for every penny they can get.
Note: Android isn't innocent in this, either. Use the website whenever you can.
Apple requires that Patreon switch to their iOS in-app purchase system, or risk being removed from the App Store. Here’s what’s creators need to know.Apple’s requirements to hit creators and fans on Patreon
For the past few weeks I've been working on a post (now a series) that investigates what JavaScript-based frontend development has done to these, the least of our brothers.
Today, Part 1: The Landscape

Subscribe to the RSS feed for the rest of the series as it comes out.
It would be tragic if public sector services adopted the JavaScript-heavy stacks that frontend influencers have popularised. Right?Alex Russell
Part 3: Caprock
SPAs and the frameworks built to support them are kryptonite to organisations that are not 110% across the complexity of the infrastructure they own and operate. This is a predictable recipe for disaster in low-maturity teams, both public and private sector.
infrequently.org/2024/08/capro…
I have worked with dozens of teams surprised to have found themselves in the JavaScript ditch. They all feel ashamed because they've been led to believe they're the first; that the technology is working fine for other folks. It isn't.Alex Russell
Part 4: The Way Out
Unacceptable performance is the consequence of a chain of failures to put the user first. Breaking the chain usually requires just one insistent advocate. Disasters like BenefitsCal are not inevitable. Responsibility is always an option, and it's generally easier and cheaper in the medium to long run.
infrequently.org/2024/08/the-w…
JavaScript overindulgence remains an affirmative choice, no matter how hard industry 'thought leaders' gaslight us. Better is possible, but we must want it enough to put users ahead of our own interests.Alex Russell

This is gross, and further confirms Apple’s transition from innovation to rent-seeking, but there is a good solution: Stop having an app. Patreon would work just fine as a web site, no?

in reply to Tuta • • •I am not using the Tuta Calendar right now, but I would be interested in moving to it.
The features that I find essential are:
- a standalone calendar app (=fewer clicks to get to the calendar)
- search function
- birthdays integrated from Tuta contacts
- public holidays for various countries
- and ideally offline access
