#microsoft #edge is now supporting some desktop extensions on their Android browser in their main branch. /begin browser rambling So, on mobile, I've got two browsers. My default browser - Fennec - always clears cookies upon being closed and has most of the features I'm looking for. It's 'usually' compatible with most sites, and yoinks all the Mozilla junk out of Firefox while still supporting extensions and not being part of the chromium monopoly. Things like SponsorBlock, webpage archiving (SingleFile, Brave's mht feature, etc), and Nostr signing extensions are nice, but I'm looking for three specific things: * Good adblock * Decent privacy * A read aloud feature/extension I've also got a second browser, Brave, which I remain signed into stuff and sync bookmarks & cookies via the E2E sync feature.

I also use incognito on it sometimes - especially when sites break in fennec - but on mobile if you want a no cookies browser you almost need two since you can't ctrl + N upon start or open clicked tabs in incognito. Anyway, #Fennec has broken on a couple of websites as of late. So far it seems to have dodged the memory leaks and incompatibility that had me move away from Firefox forks on desktop - but there's been a few breakages lately. Could be a one off, or could be the staggered development finally hitting #Firefox for mobile. Am planning on continuing to use fennec for now, but beginning to wonder if I should scope out alternatives. Edge actually has built in adblock + support for further adblocking extensions. Though unlike Brave/Fennec which have manifest v2 style adblock support (built in & extensions respectively) it'd still presumably be fairly close in actual effectiveness. Archiving pages and TTS can be done through extensions which'll presumably be supported soon if they're not already supported via extensions and/or internal features. As crazy as it is to think, Edge - or better a de-Microsofted fork of Edge - might actually be something I seriously consider using. That, or maybe Brave can finally introduce a TTS feature and/or yoink the extension compatibility from Edge or the ChromeOS extension support (could do regular+beta for effectively two profiles). /end browser ramblings tldr: To my surprise, Edge for Android seems to be shaping up to be a decent option of a browser (minus some telemetry)
AI is transforming software development, shifting programmers from writing code to collaborating with AI in an intent-driven workflow—this is vibe coding.
people should really read up on O'Reilly. They were a crucial part of the whole Web 2.0 grifting and ruining of the Web and networked computing as a whole.
With a tagline like "leverage your experience in the age of AI", this honestly makes me think this book is more about fixing the blunders of AI and making an income that way rather than actually using AI. that and possibly using ai to make like filler uncomplicated stuff, essentially just autocomplete.
I feel like this could genuinely be a useful book depending on what is inside it.
I just skimmed the first chapter, and it seems fairly balanced. It says (I paraphrase) "think of AI coding like a keen junior developer hopped up on stimulants, producing huge amounts of code quickly but of questionable quality".
having tried it today with a programming language i did not know today. I have to say it was enjoyable. Definetly not straight forward but a hell lot more eonjoyable than to have to dig through docs of very language specific docs to find out how that rust feature is named in C# with the agent and some manual tweaking it makes the most infuriating tasks enjoyable.
This makes no sense, with vibe coding one shouldn't even check the code generated by AI.. For sure there's no need for a dedicated book explaining this practice!
please tell me every page is just "you fucking rube. You absolute mook. You goddamn mark. You fell for this bullshit, and you spent money on a book to teach you to be an even BIGGER sucker. What the fuck is WRONG with you?!" over and over again
@europlus I thought this must be a sh!tpost but looked it up on their own site, and it’s true. Way to tank your career as an author, Addy Osmani. O’Reilly have fallen so far; so sad. We’ll be tidying up after GenAI for years - perhaps I should market myself as a Legacy / GenAI Code Fixer?
OK, so the book isn't complete and sections are missing, but I've read through the preview and I'm not as mad as I thought I might be
There is definitely a bias that LLMs will have to be adopted by developers, and it's just a question of how. With citations from those selling LLM solutions about how effective it is, of course (Github say it'll make you 55% more efficent, just send us $39 a month please!) 1/4
New blog post - a combination of how I got into emulation, that I pre-ordered the Retroid Flip 2, and some other notes about different handhelds and controllers I looked into before settling on the purchase.
UPDATE: Officially the problem has been "fixed". But lets see....we will look for another provider and in case we will be forced to move, we should be able to do so in a day or two.
Our TROM.tf server was flagged by the hosting company as "Abuse: NetscanOutLevel: scansnarf-ng detected Netscan from: We have indications that there was an attack from your server." - and we have a few hours to fix the issue else they are going to shut down the server....
Please be aware of that since the websites may go down and we may have to move to another hosting provider...
This is very bad news but unaware what it can be. Please keep an eye on status.tromsite.com
We will try to update there in case anything happens.
We had a custom search with some JS scanning searx.space/ for best instances to search with. Maybe that was a red flag for the hosting. We have removed that and redirect now to searx.neocities.org. Lets see...
Tried some astrophotography again the other night. Turned out cool. Full post descripton won't fit on BlueSky:njump.me/nevent1qvzqq... Both images are here though so my ramblings aren't too important. #photography #astrophotography

Took a few photos the other day I wanted to share:

raw.githubusercontent.com/0n4t… Another really similar shot, but with a plane and long shadows instead of a sunrise. Had a lot more time since the plane was travelling slower (at least from my relative perspective) but turned out almost identical framing wise.
I got a couple of very zoomed in shots. Unless you zoom in more or are on a laptop the birds will probably look like dust on your screen, but I think they turned out cool too.
And last got a cool shot of a bench overlooking the (frozen) water. I think it really captured the quiet wait while the sun rose, although less so captured the hand numbing cold the second I'd take my gloves off to take a photo.
The way I see it is that AT/BlueSky has a lot of potential as a finished ecosystem, but it's far from completed and even if it's completed well it won't be as decentralized as the other big protocols. It's still got 25x the people as something like ActivityPub or Nostr though, so I'm coming at this from the perspective that I don't necessarily want to make BlueSky my home base of decentralized protocols, but interconnectivity still would let me communicate with anybody on the bigger platforms.
The same could be done right now with Lemmy and Reddit. But it would be a hack that's gonna be broken every time the site updates in a backward incompatible manner. Which will happen.
If the interoperability is not part of the core product, all you get is 3rd-party hacks.
Another protocol is infact not good. Standardization can often be a good thing actually. Imagine if every company sold things made with their own custom screw head.
I get what you're saying, and don't get me wrong I've experienced firsthand the jank of multiple interacting protocols (and differing implementations of the same one), but I think the single standardized protocol ship sailed when ActivityPub came around during OStatus's reign. A lot of software decided to support both (and many still do), and while I wasn't a part of the ecosystem then, I'm guessing users of both protocols benefited a lot from being interconnected instead of siloed.
We've currently got three big protocols - AT at tens of millions, ActivityPub and Nostr at millions - in addition to a half dozen smaller protocols with thousands of users. My personal take is that a continued ability to interact with almost everybody on all of them is a net positive rather than try to silo everybody and force a winner.
Especially because, unless Meta gets their federation act together, AT (BlueSky) is shaping up to be the big protocol. They've made some big strides towards decentralization in the last year or so, but even in a perfect implementation it'd still be fairly ce

For biggest protocol it's also important to consider the number of instances. In that regard Activitypub is far ahead of everything else (Bluesky only consists of a single instance).
I mean, sure. In theory. But I can't really interact with people between platforms very well. If someone and I are both bridged, and I boost something on mastodon, they're not gonna see it
I'm not actually even sure if I can reply to their bridged account from my mastodon account and have their bluesky account see my reply.
Its a jank and hacky workaround for the fact that bluesky wasn't designed for interoperability with the Fediverse. I love that accounts can be bridged! But like, that's not the same as literally any other inter-platform interaction within the Fediverse. Its a tack on half-solution.
I'm happy we have it, but it's not fair to act like it's the same thing, and I can understand why people would find it frustrating.
Another wild and wacky year is wrapping up, and with it the customary year end wrap up/retrospective. This year I posted a total of 11 posts1, two being …
So a thing happened and I'm kinda flabbergasted. So there appears to be a campaign to shut down the Mostr (Nostr <> ActivityPub bridge). Dunno how big it is, but apparently at least one DMCA complaint has been filed. This is all on account of the bridge duplicating posts and profiles on ActivityPub.
For those unaware, THIS IS LITERALLY HOW ACTIVITY PUB IS BUILT TO WORK. Every Activity Pub server duplicates content. Without it there'd be no seeing posts from anybody on servers other than their home server. It's literally the thing that makes the protocol work. If being on a protocol that specifically is designed to duplicate content isn't permission enough to duplicate content then the Fediverse goes poof. Zilch. Zero. Nada.
Convince Cloudflare, or worse - convince a judge - that a protocol designed around federating content isn't permission to federate content and that's that for #ActivityPub. I'd personally prefer to see both protocols do well; please, if anybody reads this, learn how things work before trying to break things for working as intended.
image.nostr.build/4d9aba15e974… I replicated the shot to see it was just a lens reflection thingy, but it was quite the double take to see a glowing orb in the sky in a photo I did not see IRL.
@splatsune What seems to be the case is there was one listing on the Itch site that was actually violating the Funko trademark and the tool wanted the entire site pulled
yeah that sounds much more likely. Itch must have some sort of takedown process right? But I guess if the complaint was also automated then... Jeez what a mess
Apparently, the Brand Shield AI thingy that has been used, detected some sort of user-generated content that had Funko trademarks on it. Instead of going through the process of cease and desist, Brand Shield decided that reporting phishing and malware to the domain registrar would get the content removed faster. This should honestly sue Funko Pops, the registrar, and Brand Shield for this absurd situation.
I've been working on a novel. I've never actually written fiction before so no gauruntee of quality, but it's also free to read & distributed. It's mostly scifi(ish) with some fantasy elements as well.
I've got an ActivityPub account I put updates on @Untitled Novel but the website also has RSS & other protocols I share new updates on. Web version is ad free and tracker free minus Cloudflare.

So I wanted to have a photo carausel on my blog I manage with Hugo. Well, it's not supported by Hugo so I'll just get a shortcode, simple right? One didn't work and one didn't work with remote images, so I'll just make my own. Can't be that hard.
I made a bunch of "code" that failed, tried to take my failing code to Dolphin 2.2.1 Mixtral and Chat GPT who couldn't fix my broken code. At this point hours have gone by.
Then I get this bright idea 💡. Hey chat GPT "make me a Hugo shortcode for a photo carousel". Bam, done. All I had to do was give it a second prompt to add a carousel ID (so I can have multiple on the same page) and tweak the image size to be relatively to the screen size (2 characters manually changed). Seems to work flawlessly.
