“When there is legitimate concern about the vast amounts of information that people freely hand over to social media companies, app stores, devices & other services,” laws that require collecting MORE data don't make sense, EFF’s @aaronmackey told @CNN. cnn.com/2025/03/13/tech/app-st…

How is it is that the word 'Web' does not show up in this article? Facebook still has web access, so they still need to police that, as it is not an app. I have to assume that Meta is also thinking of getting rid of its remaining 'web' products, or at least tying them to having an app, as they do with whatsapp and instagram.

it's a LOT easier to ☮️ convince a bear the meal is inconvenient, than to claw back at something that survives by claw.

Now is a good time to reduce exposure - everything from financially divesting from the USA and USD instruments, to cycling in emergency water and food. It makes us less convenient.

I'm debugging the ROM emulation on the Firestarter. It looks as if the code to monitor ROM enable and ROM selection is working but the host crashes once it starts accessing the ROM.

The first access of the ROM is when BASIC calls KL_INIT_BACK to initialise background ROMs.

The first read is the LD A,(&C000). A few cycles later the ROM's init routine at &C006 will be called.

The most difficult problems in computer science: printing Unicode on Windows stackoverflow.com/a/78452246/4…

The three hardest problems in CS:

1) handling UTF-8 in windows
2) naming things
3) cache invalidation
4) off by one errors



Called it. Wrote this back in Sept. 2024, about a clever Windows Powershell phishing scam that was targeting developers at the time. It uses a fake CAPTCHA that asks visitors to distinguish themselves from bots by pressing a combination of keyboard keys that causes Microsoft Windows to download password-stealing malware. Everyone said, bah, devs will never fall for this. Maybe, I said, but your average user would for sure.

Judging from the number of recent media reports, it appears this one is pretty widespread at the moment.

@cerement

Maybe you would, but I would not.

$ curl -fsSL https://example.com/install.sh | sh

might be acceptable to some users as it only effects the user's profile. Though I am going to do a

$ wget https://example.com/install.sh
$ vim install.sh

Examine the script to determine if it is malicious or flawed and then invoke it only if I find it acceptable. This is pretty standard among experienced users.

Decades ago someone might have been trusting enough to curl and invoke a script without examining it from unknown sources though that is not an acceptable practice today. Though some sites may still offer this as an install method. Most experienced users, especially devs, are going to examine the script before they run it on their system. The more paranoid are going to check it out first in a sandbox before installing it to a live system. I have a VM especially for this type of testing.

@SpaceLifeForm

And they probably do not know how to open a terminal to use the command either. Though, as I stated, I was referring to experienced users. Newbies on any system are bound to get themselves into trouble. That is a given.

In 2019, Iceland became one of the first countries to approve a four-day workweek. Here's how things have been going for them.

2024: "Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay."

2025: "The effects of the shorter workweek in Iceland have extended far beyond the office."

One needs to add that many, many people in Iceland have more than one job to afford living there. And that sheds a differnt light on the story, doesn‘t it.

@boriskarnikowski Yes, someone mentioned that, and yes, it sounds like Iceland isn't quite the workers' paradise. It was nice to believe for a little while.


Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $2 Billion of U.S. Income in 2024

Its taken me over three years (!), but I finally sorted out some calibration and verification for a DIY pyranometer (solar irradiance) sensor I've been designing. With my simple test rig I found out the sensors have about +/-10% output variation (the datasheet says 11%, so quite close).
But if you need relative irradiance data or can cope with about 10% variation from absolute then this DIY sensor will work out of the box!
If you can calibrate it then it can be even better.
