  • Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

  • The year is 2050 2026. The suburban streets, once a place where kids could be seen playing are now devoid of life. The shouts and laughter of children gone.

    They have been replaced by roving bands of cyber trucks, carrying mail and parcels for the residents. Honking outside homes to goad the occupants to collect their mail.

    But they do not. For they know if they leave their homes, they may be identified as tarmac and run down by the self driving AI.

    This is the new world order. This is DOGE.

  • I had an idea a while ago on how you could lightly regulate social media platforms.

    Require them to:

    • Group users into cohorts of a size greater than X. ie, individual level targeting isn’t allowed. The higher this number the better.
    • make available to users the cohort they are in
    • publish openly every single cohort and their size
    • make it possible to view feeds as if you were in a specific cohort.

    Will this stop them funnelling customers into rabbit holes? No, probably not.

    But it would make “targeted indoctrination” harder as they would have to try and indoctrinate multiple people at once. And it would make it more transparent just how many people are being fed propaganda or whatever you want to call it.

  • Ah silly us.

    We spent a decade hating on IE, it’s slowness, poor support for any standards, plugins that fuck your shit up, etc.

    But it was obviously the best because it had that huge market share.

  • Could you imagine the enshittification cries if they did this. “Mozilla to add subscription model to your browser”.

    They have other products that have subscriptions you can pay for to support the company.

    Instead of using Mullvad, use Mozilla VPN (it is literally exactly the same, you just pay Mozilla not Mullvad)

    If you’re a web developer, Subscribe to MDN Plus.

    Hate spam? Firefox Relay.

  • I don’t believe Mozilla doesn’t have the best interests of the browser at heart, I believe that they do think their browser is the their number one product.

    But that’s the problem. It’s free software, going up against a juggernaut whose browser is just another side project to drive engagement with their core product.

    A juggernaut who just so happens to be one of Mozilla’s primary source of income. All it will take is a little bit of legislation somewhere in the world to make that deal less attractive and Mozilla could be dead in the water. And it will take all of those forks with it, paving the way for Google to become the true web Hegemony.

    Mozilla needs to diversify to ensure they can continue to provide stewardship to the browser.

    But trying to make money in 2025 just seems to summon the enshittification brigade.

    Free software is not free. Someone has to make it.

  • Open-source 3D Printed Pipe Fittings Reduce Water Waste, New Study Argues

    Jump

  • I have doubts.

    I live in a city where water leaks contribute to something like 40% of supplied potable water ‘consumption’.

    Why so much? Because the pipes are old, shit, and underground. it costs a load of money to dig that shit up.

    A $5 (or even $500) brass fitting that will last 50+ years is nothing when you’ve spent $1000s doing traffic management, digging up a road, replacing some pipe, and putting it all back again.

    What are you going to trust? A $5 lump of solid of brass, or a $0.3 lump of plastic, made by squeezing 0.2mm layers of plastic string on top of each other, using a system whose bonding strength can be drastically affected by ambient and absorbed humidity, temperature, speed, airflow, and a whole load of other variables.

  • Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big Tech

  • He didn’t say anything about regulating them.

    Tax revenue is small fry compared to the harm they can (and do?) cause.

  • Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta

  • Further: the Canvas API doesn’t have any requirements on rendering accuracy.

    By deferring to the GPU, font library, etc, tracking code can generate an image that is in most cases unique to your machine.

    So blocking the Canvas API would return a 0. Which is less unique than what it would be normally.

  • Iirc, Websites can’t query addons unless those addons manipulate the DOM in a way that exposes themselves.

    They can query extensions.

    Addons are things installed inside the browser. Like uBlock, HTTPS Everywhere, Firefox Containerr, etc.

    Extensions are installed outside the browser. Such as Flashplayer, the Gnome extensions installer, etc.

  • Running Plasma instead of Gnome for the first time in years

    Jump

  • I last tried KDE when it was KDE3. Then Gnome, xfce, and finally settling on i3/sway

    But I got given an old Windows tablet so decided I’d see what is usable as a tablet and I was pleasantly surprised by KDE.

    So much so, I’ve ostree-rebased all my machines to it.

    The tiling could be better (and it sounds like it was, then wasn’t?), but it’s passable. And simple stuff actually seems to work. Unlike the gnome+sway kludge I have now.
