Since yesterday, I have had an urge to play with CSS again, and it's the least practical time for it.

(Since work during the day and a brain that is currently saying no.)

There is a three-year-old article by Ryan Mulligan that has been living rent-free in my head for a while, and I recently applied it to a hobby project for the first time. I want to learn more about these techniques as I'm not fluent with them yet.

"Layout Breakouts with CSS Grid" featuring named template columns.

Hi @kasnder,
As part of the targeted user group I'd like to experiment a bit with #GreaseMilkyway :mastoinnocent:

Fortunately I'm not addicted to one the apps listed in the examples.
On the project page you mention Developer Assistant from the PlayStore as one potential tool to identify the elements one wants to block. Do you happen to know a comparable #FOSS tool from an #FDroid #Repo I could use instead?

Pretty bad news for privacy and civil rights in Canada today: canada.ca/en/public-safety-can…

Essentially warrantless access for spy agencies to any online communications and mail, all to (probably) try and appease Trump


The Strong Borders Act - Government of Canada strengthens border security

The Bill will strengthen our laws and keep Canadians safe by ensuring law enforcement has the right tools to keep our borders secure, combat transnational organized crime, stop the flow of illegal fentanyl, and crack down on money laundering.

"For now, the most comprehensive protection against Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica tracking is to refrain from installing the Facebook, Instagram, or Yandex apps on Android devices."

That's exactly what I do.

I genuinely have no idea what the left’s strategy is (or has been) for Gaza. Everything has been to force attention on it as a monocause, but only in the most unsympathetic ways possible.

Like I understand the thought “we need to make America pay attention to this” but they seem not to have a way of doing that that doesn’t involve them doing toxically unpopular things. Who are they listening to?

Meta und Yandex haben die Browsernutzung von Android-Nutzer'innen mit einer perfiden und bisher unbekannten Tracking-Methode deanonymisiert und damit die strikte Trennung von Apps ausgehebelt.

Das in Websites eingebettete Tracking-Script (also z.B. "Facebook Pixel") konnte sein _fbp-Cookie über einen internen Port (z.B. 127.0.0.0:12387) senden und die Facebook-App hat auf diesem Port gelauscht und das Cookie abgefangen. So wurde ein Webseitenbesuch, bei dem Facebook eingebunden war, auch an die Facebook-App gemeldet.

Die Schwierigkeit könnte sein, dass Facebook von den Seitenbetreibern verlangt hat, dafür eine Einwilligung einzuholen. Und vielleicht reicht das auch schon, um diese Technologie zu erlauben ("Weiterleitung von Daten wie Facebook ID an Meta").

Bei der Studie finden sich Ergebnisse von einem Top 100K Seiten Crawl.

Tatsächlich haben demnach auch einige deutsche Seiten das Pixel noch immer ohne Einwilligung in Betrieb, darunter
dominos.de
cineplex.de

Und immer noch Verlage wie Ippen (OVB24/rosenheim24.de) und Burda (efahrer.chip.de).

Aber ich wüsste nicht, dass deutsche Behörden schon Strafen wegen Metas Pixel ohne Einwilligung verhängt hätten.

Traurig, dass sie das noch nicht haben (Strafen verhängt). Und ja, für die Masche mit "Verantwortung abwälzen" sind sie ja bekannt – siehe "hochladen des Adressbuches" bei WhatsApp, wo der Anwender bestätigen soll, von allen (!!) im Adressbuch die Zustimmung zu haben. Hat Dich schonmal wer gefragt, ob das für Dich OK wäre? Mich nur eine einzige Person. Und ich glaube kaum, dass sonst keiner meiner Kontakte WA nutzt ("Das braucht man doch…") 😔

My latest project is code-named "Total Reprint." I ported The Print Shop (1986) to ProDOS and made it hard-drive-installable. Then I made some other improvements, like live previews of third-party graphics and borders. It's bundled with every graphic, border, and font that Broderbund ever released, plus hundreds of other openly licensed graphics that I back-ported from modern artists.

Come to INIT HELLO in July for the product launch. <init-hello.org/>

I've never done #AudioMo before, but I'm hopping on the bandwagon, if a day late, this year.

This was a recording in October 2023, when @talon and I visited a lion and cheetah sanctuary on his trip to South Africa.

My father loves the sound of woodpeckers, and I thought I'd record this and send it to him.

This recording is 45 seconds of delightful, incessant pecking, with Talon saying "That was cool"right near the end. :)

Faizan Zaki, a 13-year-old speller from Allen, Texas, is the champion of the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Zaki earned the prestigious title in round 21 when he correctly spelled “éclaircissement,” which is defined as “the clearing up of something obscure: enlightenment.”

The note to make on this post is the domain. Fly is an hosting company so if “AI lets us go faster” and “AI makes bad code but we’re slowing down to make it usable” (paraphrased) is their self-contradictory policy, that puts a question mark on hosting with them

fly.io/blog/youre-all-nuts/

Also, going “many of you will lose your jobs but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” is almost admirable as a douchebag move, but it’s also the norm in tech. There is no class solidarity to speak of in tech.

Also, I don't think all automation is equally bad. I've spent most of my career working on assistive technology for blind people. It's true that before personal computers, OCR, and ebooks, some people could get paid to read text aloud or transcribe it to Braille. But, on the whole, I think it's a good thing that those jobs are obsolete, because probably most blind people didn't have access to readers or transcribers. I guess it's possible my reasoning is self-serving though.

How many gigabytes are in a terabyte? 🧐 Whether you're managing email storage or upgrading your device, understanding digital storage is essential.

In our latest blog post we make understanding storage easy 👉 tuta.com/blog/how-many-gigabyt…

Storage Memory: How many gigabytes are in a terabyte? 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 kilobyte (KB) = 1,000 bytes, 1 megabyte (MB) = 1,000 kilobytes (KB), 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1,000 megabytes (MB), 1 terabyte (TB) = 1,000 gigabytes (GB). Using the decimal system.

How many gigabytes are in a terabyte? Easy guide to storage capacity. | Tuta

TB, GB, MB, KB or Terabytes, Gigabytes, Megabytes, Kilobytes... they all sound similar and are often confused.

Yesterday the "Reflection" project started officially as part of the new @PrototypeFund round! 🌟🌈

The team consists of @p2panda and people from the GNOME gang around @tbernard and @jsparber.

We gonna release "Reflection" (formerly Aardvark) - a GTK-based, collaborative, local-first text editor! Aaaand:

All of this is part of a larger effort to explore p2p code, UX patterns, reusable UI components, debugging tools, organize events and document our learnings.

Good morning, Great People of #AudioMO.

I did promise you poetry so, for my day 3, have a reading. I'm not a big fan of my own voice, so sorry about that. But it's one of my favourites.
Again, not a studio quality recording or anything: just me and a headset and a Braille printout (can you call Braille a printout?) in my home office.
