if you watch one talk, make it this: media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-pos...

Why do all the HID UIs limit the maximum acceleration and speed to ridiculous slow values? Are integers expensive to add to a slider? Is everyone afraid dumb users set it up so fast they cannot undo it and so decide to accept 10% of users will never be able to setup their ideal cursor speeds?

The best way to #pauseAI is to just cap the energy consumption per company. Its easy to measure and has positive externalities besides giving us time for security and tooling research.

Things that will be possible: - maintain a fork of a project in another language or ui framework - maintain a for with complex changes while keeping upstream syncing in - revive your favourite unmaintained projects - clone any software locked in evil corp

i have received several e-mails

Me at 11 PM since I stopped caffeine. https://on.soundcloud.com/GMko6fqDVWl5pjBU3v

if the usa would just enforce the anti monopoly laws they have and the eu the data portability laws we have, the world would be a very different place. The problem is not policy but much deeper

lol it’s so genuinely fun seeing Cory take decades of fluency in how these systems are broken and serve it up for a mainstream audiences. Even if you know “enshittification” well, this is worth the watch. And love to @eff.org! youtu.be/d2e-c9SF5nE

brexit was our 9/11 from within, ukraine from the outside. both were announced and we did nothing to stop it and had nothing in response. its arguably better than a war under false pretense but we surrendered our last bit of optimism for growing together to the grim chaos of post globalization.

Its obvious we will need drastic ai taxes, if done right they will also push open models. better to do before ai controls even more of public discourse. as with my calls for advertising bans, this should only apply to companies with z millions revenue.

It's not only in the US that the far right and tech monopolies have a strongly aligned agenda. We're watching a direct replay of the cartel playbook leading up to WWII.

Are we not ready to make boarding passes the size of a freaking passport?

I would put not regularly staying in the bay area on the list of life regrets.

It's launch day, I pulled the trigger!!! There's still *so* much to do, but I think it's in a reasonable enoigh state for yall to try :) Would love to hear your feedback!!

Finally secured an Apple Extended Keyboard III for my Jonathan

What's with americans always misgendering aluminium?

I would argue even extreme accelerationalists should have a motivation to promote AI safety and slowing down at least certain phases. Anyone would want to prevent being exterminated by an unconscious paperclip machine and reach the state of devine superintelligence before handing over the world.

We need a human right to opt out of ads. Every company above size x has to publish average per user ad revenue and give an option to opt out for that price not more. Its connected to the right of algorithmic control over our feeds wich is harder to do but would subsume this right.

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow? Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it) resonantcomputing.org

Not sure what is going on here: github.com/warpdotdev/W... This would be 2 lines of css. This would not even be on the teams plate if this were malleable software.

coolest thing about being in the usa is i can finally say something like “oh im in europe by then” but its like fürstenwalde-nord

I like how we use the terms green field and brown filed projects with swapped meaning, just because the desire is so big to call the existing code bases shit=brown

Why don’t all services send pdf invoices as default? Why don’t invoices usually have the company in the file name? Why is cursor splitting a month in 10 unmanageable invoices? Do US companies not require accounting? I would estimate the amount of work wasted in the gazillions.

Aaand welcome to todays edition of “Is it a software project or a mental condition”

All software should work offline or when the server is down with whatever data you have cached locally. Serving from cache for dynamic requests should have been the default on the web instead of everything breaking down.

I honestly thing I could handle glimpses at cosmic horrors without going more mad.

The golden rule that Alan Kay will mention some system from the ’60s or ’70s as still being unsurpassed by today’s tech in every talk he gives, without ever giving a hint as to what exactly is still unsurpassed, still holds true.

50% of indian restaurants in california play mexican music for some reason and it messes with my head more than reasonable

sovereignty is mostly bad for people and good for states, it's important to not mix those up digital sovereignty is not really a good goal for people

How is anyone getting any work done here when left of me someone is discussing a novel with his editor (I agree the story of alex should be way more central and i want to know more about his backstory)

Great meeting you lil buddy.

Landlording shouldn't be a for-profit industry. I said what I said. Before you get your boxers bunched about "who will manage apartment buildings?" please actually just go look up public and co-op housing. All landlords do is drive up housing costs. That's it. They provide no social benefit.

I hate to announce SF is every bit as nice as i had feared.

Hey, I just launched an app called Antler. The app showcases how we can rebuilt WeChat Mini Apps, but using open web standards. dmathewwws.com/antler-an-ir...

is there really no API for Chromium issues? surely i'm just not finding it, right?

ok welllll it looks like there really is no API for the issue tracker for the open source browser used by 90% of the people on earth

this is a stunning piece of data journalism/art/whatever.

Cannot think of even one single time I've ever wanted to "paste with formatting"

things i want on atproto: insta, reddit, hn, facebook, linkedin, craigslist, digg, youtube, tiktok

Dearly lacking discourse in local-first... the prerequisites for "data ownership" is it must be freely addressable (e.g. via the file system) and one must be able to adversarially do things with it (e.g. open/ubiquitous formats).

It’s completely mind boggling to me to see HP, xerox PARC, NeXt inc, tesla and vmware are all basically in the same city block.

I don’t know what i expected but going to coyote hill and there is literally a coyote chilling feels wrong in a weird way.

Gah.. opened namecheap to register silvermoonbeach.com ended up also buying superuseragent.com, flophead.com, and homebrewsuper.computer and ...com ...club.com Someone disconnect me from the internet please
