already known...but let's put a spotlight on the next ICC judge (from Canada) who is cancelled from the digital life. No Amazon, no Mastercard, no Netflix account...

Just because Trump doesn't like the ruling of an independent international institution like the International Criminal Court.

ICC judges have been forcibly removed from most digital services, credit cards, and banks.

"Amazon, obliged to implement the sanctions as a US company, had cancelled her account."

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life

Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

gosh oh gosh. Can't wait for Friday when I get the rest of the month off, it's so crunchtime at work with a million things going on that a breather is well deserved.
It's so strange to me, going back to a 40-cell display after reviewing code with Cadence, that I'm a bit unsettled. You really notice even with code, how much only half the line shows, at least on longer ones that are declaring function calls or params, and deep indents eat up your line length. I feel extra spoiled by effortlessly being able to scan code in long chunks and know what's going on faster.

@zersiax oh, it's less of a problem with only a 4-line display, thankfully the Cadence only places the perkins keys along one edge and leaves off cursor routers (for a d-pad on the left side instead.) Similar to a lot of multilines I suppose. In the wide config it takes up the space of a standard 32-cell even in width, which is surprising. I think it would be a larger issue though with an 8-line, where (either) you place it above the keyboard and then must stretch your hand up taller, or place it below but then must awkwardly fold your arm every time. That would bug me a lot. If it's just below and my arm only needs to go out a straight 90-degrees horizontally to read, I'm less bothered. So in that way ergonomics can make a big diff.

Mozilla has a new CEO. Once again iterating that the future of Firefox is AI first, AI by default:

"Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software"

"It will evolve into a modern AI browser"

"AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off."

Rust is is not a "silver bullet" that can solve all security problems, but it sure helps out a lot and will cut out huge swatches of Linux kernel vulnerabilities as it gets used more widely in our codebase.

That being said, we just assigned our first CVE for some Rust code in the kernel: lore.kernel.org/all/2025121614… where the offending issue just causes a crash, not the ability to take advantage of the memory corruption, a much better thing overall.

Note the other 159 kernel CVEs issued today for fixes in the C portion of the codebase, so as always, everyone should be upgrading to newer kernels to remain secure overall.

Pro tip:

You can create a custom search query in your browser that looks like this:

gist.github.com/april/39a832da…

And that will limit your search results to only pages crawled before 2023. Really helps cut down on the amount of slop you stumble across. Feel free to tweak date ranges to your edification.

Oy. I really don't want to have to find or code a solution to handle connections better than Wireguard does. Stateless sucks sometimes. And its keepalive mechanism leaves a fair bit to be desired as well. Without knowing at all, I would at least imagine that Tailscale handles this better. I just am not too thrilled about having my infrastructure rely on a 3rd party that can simply take out my entire network with a fat finger or stroke of a pen. Of course, anyone with more power than I can do this. But by self-hosting Wireguard, I can easily move my operations to some other provider. Hmm. Lots of food for thought and deliberation.

Well good news for a Tuesday, yesterday the Tactile Engineering devs approved my pull request for adding flip logic and command to Cadence's NVDA driver, yay to that. Honestly it's the most pleasant to use on NVDA, which is a bit ironic but not unsurprising. We're told panning on multiline displays is an iOS issue overall and Apple's aware of this as such. That's a bit disappointing on their part so I'm watching the iOS updates like a hawk for when they might add a fix because the only woorkaround for now is to pan by having "lines" in your rotor and setting these as Braille commands, then moving down line by line to pan the display forward. Kind of annoying but it works.
On JAWS, we're still sorting out panning quirks with the Tactile Engineering people (it oddly will have panning buttons work over USB, but not Bluetooth.) Really no other platform has a perfect bug-free generic HID Braille display driver, which is really a shame. NVDA's out of the box is really good, but it didn't support full Cadence keys until I installed their own driver, which will get rolled into NVDA 2026.1

Accessibility, The Origin of Innovation: In this article, I will discuss the details of 10 innovations throughout history that were only possible through unlocking the power of accessibility and including the voices of people with disabilities. In the #disability community, it is a deeply believed and often repeated fact that improving #accessibility leads to innovations that improve the world for everyone. Necessity is the mother of invention is, after all, a proverb so frequently quoted that it has become a cliché. And yet, people with disabilities still find ourselves left out of research and design, and all too often we don’t get a seat at the product development table. This leaves our inventions overlooked, unrecognized, and sometimes unrealized. stuff.interfree.ca/2025/12/16/origins-of-accessibility.html#a11y#InclusiveDesign#pwd#blind
