The rise of the Web prematurely ended an era of active research and creative experimentation with hypertext technologies. In this paper @eastgate picks up where this era left off, and presents a neoclassical extension to embed web components in a classical hypertext system.

Gaming the metrics, part 37: automatic mouse jigglers

If you measure productivity on being "active at a screen", people are going to game those metrics 🤷

Talking about AI:

By the way, if you use AI in your software/service/product, and this AI system *might* collect/process/reuse some personal data, you *have to* describe this in your privacy policy.

Yes, it is obligatory by law.

Great God above.

Pensioners just above the poverty line don't need Winter Fuel Allowance but well paid Ministers need to have their clothes bought for them on top of the myriad expenses MPs claim for things us common bogs pay for from our incomes.

Lammy is typical of a political class so far up its own backside it can't see its own absurdity.

Lexus at its peak—the 2024 RX450h+ is one smooth plug-in hybrid

The plug-in hybrid powertrain is pleasant, but the infotainment can irritate.

“Ok so.. what do we want this thing to look like?”

“Well, I’ve been thinking…”

“Yeah?”

“What if Darth Vader could scowl, but … like … with his whole helmet?”

“…”

“…”

“What if Darth Vader could scowl but with his whole helmet.”

“Yeah, like … the whole thing."

"..."

"Like... grrrr. Darth Vader but like... grrrr.”

“…”

“… so ...”

“Ok, we’re doing that. That is genius and we’re doing that.”

This hotel room has the ergonomically worst desk lamp I’ve ever seen. It’s controlled by a motion sensor under the lamp head. Wave your hand under it to turn on or off. So if you’re (say) reading a book under the lamp, it turns itself off every time you turn the page.

I have a reading chair that does that. Every time I turn a page I notice how comfortable it is and I doze off...

One of my pet hates is hotel rooms that have been "designed" by a trendy designer who has obviously never actually stayed in a hotel room in their life

Just finished Matthew Desmond’s “Poverty, by America,” (2023).

An amazing (and amazingly readable) overview of how #poverty is manufactured and sustained in America.

There were so many #quotes that I loved. I had to actively stop myself from collecting them all, out of fear that I’d simply copy the whole #book. Here are some of my favorites 👇

Initial temperature check for #Socialcoop members:

What would you think of enabling members to have [user].social.coop as their handles for Bluesky?

This would require no data storage or throughput from us, just a DNS record: bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-20…

My own perspective is that I think this could be a low-hanging way for Social.coop to become cross-platform and to explore what it means to have a cooperative presence on ATProto/Bluesky. It would also advertise our collective existence there.

Personally, not sure I'd use it, as I already use my personal domain (@ntnsndr.in) on Bluesky.



This is so cool! Through the nonprofit called David's Chair, my Aunt was able to use an all-terrain wheelchair for free, and to enjoy the Oregon coast with her family. davidschair.org/

@JPEGuin Hah. And now my first thought is whether Sonos is Nintendo levels of litigious. 😄
