 I’ve just proven to myself again that ‘learning by doing’ is the way to go. No matter how often did I read the docs about #Vue composables and look at the code samples — I couldn’t get a hang of it! But today, it took me barely 10 minutes of actually writing some Vue.js 3 code, and I grasped the concept almost immediately! YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT After a blog post of mine where I criticize AI for not knowing that Algeria's ISO code (DZ) comes from its Arabic/Berber name, Bing now shows the WRONG ANSWER (it didn't use to), and it credits MY blog post :blobfoxangrylaugh:  @kytta 😅 And yes, DZ because we say in berber : Lezzayer and some wrote it Dzayer. This is why Algeria code is : dz and not ALG.

 @jwz people want the tools they use to be useful. a browser that can play Netflix is objectively more useful than a browser that cannot  Spot on! @jwz I was the lone sole that told Mitchell, and the exec team at a weekly all hands meeting that this was a bad idea and very much against Mozilla 's ethos. Before I did, at the mic, I led with "I'm sorry to those remote; what I'm about to say isn't available in your region" then turned the mic. It was in vain, I suspect they were desperate that if they didn't capitulate, they'd lose Netflix and thus more users. Few people emailed me after to thank me for standing up for what was right. This is the framing Apple wants to sell for their decision to withhold features from the EU, and blogs are parroting it. In reality, Apple is purposefully withholding these features from the EU, either because Apple are being retaliatory against EU customers for the existence of the DMA, or because Apple (with full knowledge of the DMA for years) refused to build these features in compliance with it. Apple chose to harm their products in the EU. The DMA didn't. This framing is marketing.

 @stevestreza The correct wording is "Apple won't be releasing these features in the EU because they refuse to comply with local legislation". But hey, propaganda outlets don't make money by publishing objective news. @stevestreza @zilahu I think it’s more of the case what has been written here: https://spyglass.org/no-ai-for-you-eu/  @stevestreza Are these the same people not caring about Apple caving to China’s demand and restrictions? Thomas Müller erhält Abmahnung, weil er während der Arbeitszeit Deutschlandspiel schaute https://www.der-postillon.com/2024/06/mueller-abmahnung.html .DS_Store .DS_Lite_Store .DSi_Store .3DS_Store .2DS_Store .3DS_XL_Store .⚞new⚟_3DS_Store .⚞new⚟_3DS_XL_Store .⚞new⚟_2DS_XL_Store It’s great that QR codes have this asymmetric layout for the tracking boxes that allows one to scan them correctly, no matter how it might be rotated. But, because of me *knowing* which side is the ‘correct’ one, I get wildly irritated when I see QR codes printed the wrong side up. Like, how does this happen? Every software outputs them in the correct orientation, so it’s always the designers who for some reason rotate them. If you’ve ever done this, please don’t 🤪 So, this is what #Apple has become? The company once praised for its incredible UX, care for small details, slick design, and devices everyone craves now looks like your average LinkedIn feed. Of all the bad and overhyped startup ideas of the last decade (VR, crypto, NFT, #AI), they've chosen the worst-looking and most unethical one to go all-in, AND they've chosen one of the worst partners to do this journey with. What a shame.

 @ploum #Meta told me recently that they’re going to scrape my data and train their LLMs with it unless I ‘submit an appeal’. No, it’s not a simple opt-out, but a form where I had to write a text explaining myself. I asked Llama (Meta’s LLM) to write the ‘apology note’ for me. Not one minute later, Meta told me they’ve ‘recognized my appeal’ and will not scrape my Instagram data. I’m almost 100% certain they use LLMs to process those.  @kytta My opt-out justification contained a single period and was still accepted. TIL that there is a (very old) HTML element to group headings with related content (subtitle, tagline, ‘last updated’): `<hgroup>` https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/hgroup It allows for even less `class`es and `<div>`s; how have I missed it all these years? Die (prognosierten) Ergebnisse der #Europawahl in Deutschland sind nichts für schwache Nerven. Selten von meinen Zeitgenossen so enttäuscht gewesen, wie heute. It baffles me how cookie banners label the decline button ‘No, thanks’. Who in their right mind would be that chill? — Hey, we want to track you and sell your data It should clearly be labelled ‘wtf no’

 Always funny to see them act like those tracking cookies, for the few requests that make it past uBO, aren't going to be thoroughly ignored    @mgorny yes, absolutely! I’ve been saying that since forever. I normally only have a couple weeks per year really hard allergies, last year it was three months or so due to the warm winter, but this year tops it at over five months… it’s crazy. Last few days it got mich worse again. #scheißRaucher oh and also ban smoking weed… if they want it they should bake tea and cookies or something. Bartender app has been acquired. It’s not clear by whom, though. https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1d7zjv8/comment/l73h9gv/ @lapcatsoftware that one reply makes a lot of sense… we’re probably seeing a move to subscription in the near future.  It’s odd, because this message from the developer 8 months ago didn’t sound like someone who’s getting ready to sell out. https://www.macbartender.com/b5blog/Bartender5-over-a-decade/ Alright, what’s the deal with every YouTuber doing ad reads for data deletion services? Seemingly everyone got a deal with either #DeleteMe or Aura. I find the idea of such services good, but I’ve never used one nor even investigated them. The amount of creators they sponsor makes them seem *very* suspicious; it’s like VPN and Raycon and Raid Shadow Legends all over again 🤨 Does anyone know what’s up with that? I’ve finally started to consider an off-site backup location. I don’t have enough data to justify building a server to put in my parents' house (yet), so cloud it is. So far, I’m leaning towards #Backblaze B2. Do you have anything good (or bad) to say about it, or can recommend other services to check out? I want: one (EU-based) location, no (or small) egress fees, pricing per GB (or less), no minimum charge. I use #restic, so backend doesn’t matter (S3, FTP, DAV, you name it).

@kytta I use Infomaniak as a target for my Restic backups. |
