it's friday, file misguided wasm feature proposals https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/1599
@wingo you have to fix the JSON code too, though
Kobo will soon let you upload and sync your own ebooks across devices, for a price https://www.theverge.com/tech/1028715/kobo-stack-cloud-sync-ebooks-epub-pdf-email-files
@verge Yay, it's a start to #interoperability. The real test will be if Kobo lets users upload or transfer their Kobo purchases to other ebook platforms, including Amazon. @pluralistic

Government must move away from toxic social media platforms | Open Rights Group [Video]
We shouldn’t be forced to use toxic platforms that track and profile us in order to get public information.
Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube track and profile their users so that they can target advertising towards them.
Their business models fuel online harms by pushing more and more extreme content to users. Despite this, these platforms are one of the primary ways that government departments share public information.
Tell your MP to support the EDM calling on the UK Government to ensure that all public sector social media content is published on open, decentralised and federated platforms!

You all know what day it is (#bandcampfriday), you’ve heard the spiel a thousand times, and I don’t have anything particularly new to offer today, but as usual https://sockpuppet.bandcamp.com has a bunch of music to shove into your ear holes.
Also https://bandcamp.com/fluffy is a bunch of music I’ve shoved into my ear holes which you might like too.

Firefox CEO in 2025: integrating AI is critical for web browsers
Firefox ad in 2026: ugh aren't you sick of how annoying and obnoxious the forced AI chatbots in all your software are? "Always asking, asking, asking! It's annoying."
It's a bit weird that they're trying to claim the high ground after they had to be pressured hard to even offer an AI opt-out button. Still, uh, welcome to the resistance I guess?

Everybody: Time zone fixing is terrible, its light its dark, ahhhh.
Me after spending my first 20 years halfway up Sask on fixed time mostly in the dark for 6 months a year: 😎
@Lana I kluged it close enough. (My many years of experience in I.T. have apparently been of some use after all!)
My performance is terrible and bad, but there are two camera angles! ...one of them rotated and much lower quality (but at least shows a bit of the guitar)! 😅

The .mp4 is the higher-quality recording by far. If anyone feels like playing around with video editors, I could improve the sound (overdub a vocal for the chorus, add some piano?)... but quite possibly it's not worth it?
I could also be talked into trying to get a better recording. I do have mics. Really. With XLR plugs and everything!
Good to know the audio on my new-old phone is apparently half-decent, at least.
I hope that if AI eats my noise, it chokes on it

I love the TV Test Pattern Scarf; it's so bad.
@papa I wonder if they make cold weather gloves that look like PowerGloves!
@algernon about AI or about the rest of it
@gaelicWizard Protesting (and protesting hard) against AI and/or datacenters in general, by storming the construction site elevates one to hero status in my book.

I think that's what a lot of people overlook about using AI, particularly to communicate via emails etc.
The human brain inherently values human connection, and validation from others. And when you realise someone is using AI to communicate with you, it's often perceived as "You aren't worth my time/effort to do this myself", and on an instinctive level, we do NOT react well to that.

Around age 9, at a family get-together, an uncle 'informed' me that martini is actually the plural and the singular is martinus. Years later I offered that up as a fact to a girl I was trying to impress. Thanks uncle, you twat.
@fesshole "martinus" is just an antiquated Latin way of saying "martino", as modern people do
