Ustup, Jamesi Bonde, přicházejí Clever a Smart 😎😎

Pracovat na těchhle španělských kultovkách je radost.

První díl je venku, druhý v tisku, třetí rozpracovaný, čtvrtý podepsaný.

Těšte se na hybridní hantecíček, zpotvořenou němčinu, slovní hříčky vázané na obraz (dík, komikse ❤️) a originální citoslovce od mého manžela, protože já nikdy nevím, co to dělá za zvuk, když někdo třeba maluje barvou zeď. @stepan ví, že "šmrdli šmrdli". 🤷‍♀️

A long two days of coding, but I've finally got a good method of sending #Grafana and #Cloudflare alerts to #XMPP set up: github.com/deuill/webhook-gate…

A number of similar projects exist, but none that could set up multiple pipelines/gateways. Hopefully this is useful to someone; blog-post covering the setup here, including deployment on the Google Cloud Run free tier, is coming soon!

In two years, AIPAC has become one of the largest outside spenders in congressional elections. We’ve chronicled its power through coverage of individual races, but never before has AIPAC’s massive outflow of money been analyzed in sum. interc.pt/3A8nTAH

The Intercept

Ahead of 2024 and amid growing public outrage over Israel’s war on Gaza, AIPAC made a bold pronouncement: Through its United Democracy Project arm and AIPAC PAC, it would spend $100 million on elections, about one-sixth of what outside groups spent on the 2020 presidential election. interc.pt/3A8nTAH

We fight for our rights to vote. Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) help blind people vote privately and independently. However, our surveys show that one-third of all poll workers do not know how to operate BMDs and that some blind and low-vision voters are not familiar with BMD accessibility features. So, to solve this problem, we have produced videos that demonstrate how to use BMDs. You can watch the videos at nfb.org/vote

I wish there were more indie GNOME apps (including for example Shortwave, Pika backup, Authenticator, and Monophony) available in the main #Fedora RPM repositories, because waiting 30 minutes for flatpak to download 1 gigabyte of runtimes' delta updates (out of multiple GBs) on a slow Internet connection in rural or under-developed areas (or on mobile data connections), for a 10 megabytes app, is absolutely not fun.

In 2021, Spotify launched Wellness week, where we get off work for most of the company as a time to recharge, reset. (hrblog.spotify.com/2021/11/01/…) and has continued yearly since, which makes me super glad to work at a place where mental health gets recognition to this level. Next week is no work for me (and many of my colleagues) so I'll be able to get a break from most things code-related. I will not wrap myself up in some random hobby project! Need to relax.

Spotify Wellness Week

In March 2020, just like the millions of businesses around the world, we closed all of Spotify’s offices overnight due to the spread of COVID-19, and asked all of our band members to work from home.

This letter written by Charles Babbage in 1840 is fascinating ...

... since it appears to be his earliest ever attempt to describe computational recursion in plain language

He *had* to use plain language -- the very concepts he was struggling to enunciate didn't yet have names

As Bruce Sterling puts it, this passage is “a breathless, painful description of the unique ability of software to operate on itself”

Item #12 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter, free here: buttondown.com/clivethompson/a…

A letter handwritten by Charles Babbage, in a neat script. It reads, in part: "“Those who are acquainted with the loom are aware that by means of cards having certain holes punched in them it is possible to weave with the SAME loom ANY design however complicated. The design is translated into cards and these direct the motions of the threads. By similar means the motions of the Calculating Engine are directed. Any formula however complicated is translated into cards and these being placed in the Engine it works out that particular formula and gives its numerical value”. “In one respect however it advances beyond the cards of Jacard. For in the case of the development of functions it backs the cards more or less so as to repeat the operation according to any assigned laws thus enabling a small number of cards to supply the place of a great many and rendering it unnecessary to effect the algebraic redevelopment of a function in order to make the cards the LAWS of that development only being communicated by the cards”.

I've donated to #SuperSwingDistricts, a strategy for donating to local candidates in important races that are also likely to "turn out" many voters who wouldn't have voted for the federal candidate otherwise. Thanks @glyph for building and sharing this 💜

I think the tide is starting to turn in GNOME and free desktop accessibility for blind people. Check out this positive message on the Orca mailing list, from a former vocal critic of free desktop accessibility: freelists.org/post/orca/Thanks…

Note: This has nothing to do with the work I did earlier this year prototyping a new Wayland-native accessibility stack. So I'm not being self-congratulatory.

Sorry for being the party pooper, but my dream, 30 years ago, when I first experienced The Web with the NCSA Mosaic browser on a SUN SPARCStation LX, was definitely not that I will spend a lot of time clicking away nasty pop-ups, cookie banners and filtering 1000s of trackers. But maybe that’s just me … w3c.social/@w3c/11335733218686…

I wonder if any Linux-capable system-on-module that can be purchased in small quantities has power management competitive with modern smartphones. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, the SOM used in the BT Speak Pro (blazietech.com/bt-speak-pro), definitely doesn't. Deane Blazie said as much on the BT Speak support forum. So they have to use a big battery (8200 mAh, compare with typical smartphones) for decent battery life. Used more efficiently, that big battery could allow impressive battery life.
