- Comment on RISC-V Hits 25% Market Penetration as Qualcomm and Meta Lead the Shift to Open-Source Silicon 1 week ago:
I think it’s interesting that the phrase “ARM-free” roadmap is being used. I had no idea there had been so much market penetration of RISC-V already
- Comment on Architecting Consent for AI: Deceptive Patterns in Firefox Link Previews 1 week ago:
I’m really grateful for the introduction to deceptive patterns here.
I was not aware of it, and I think it’s important to have language that can describe specifically how tech companies are trying to coerce people. - Comment on ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯: Come and learn the Shavian alphabet 1 week ago:
Cool!
It’s up to you how you do it but I just threw myself into writing with it. You can write something simple to post to the community if you like! - Comment on ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯: Come and learn the Shavian alphabet 1 week ago:
Even if English didn’t completely switch over, there are some fascinating possible uses for something like Shavian as a second alphabet. For example, it could be used as a pronunciation aid like furigana in Japanese, or in a novel it could be used to represent speech, and capture the accent of the speaker.
Well it’s fun to play around with anyway! - Comment on ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯: Come and learn the Shavian alphabet 1 week ago:
Ah that really sucks 🙁
- Comment on ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯: Come and learn the Shavian alphabet 1 week ago:
I’ve been using it for about two weeks now, and as a British English speaker, I feel it can capture my accent when writing the vast majority of the time. My minor complaints about it so far are the places where I feel it isn’t unambiguously capturing my accent (the other commenter mentions 'R’s, that’s one of the issues).
Perhaps another important metric to measure it by would be whether people can reliably hear my accent when I write too.I looked a bit into Quikscript, but I think that with the traction that Shavian has (unicode support is a big deal), and the fact that I’m not particularly interested in writing by hand, I thought Shavian would be a good start.

- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 2 weeks ago:
There’s a 1920 x 1200 non-touch display option, which will surely get you better battery life than OLED. But what’s most interesting about it is the 1-120 Hz variable refresh rate, which Dell says is a first to for this model. That extremely low refresh should help save power when static images or text is on the screen.
Ah yeah, I should have read the rest of the article. I didn’t know about that feature though, that’s cool

1 Hz display option: like an e-Ink display?
(it says 120Hz in the article)

- Comment on We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human 3 weeks ago:
I’m working towards something like that. I’m hoping to ultimately drop the smartphone altogether, and I’ve set my current phone’s end of life (2027ish?) as the goal.
I think the other thing that’s necessary to keep the same sense of connectedness is a device to receive notifications, and I have an open source smartwatch I want to program for that. I’ve been working on a notification server too (kind of like Gotify), but at the moment it’s a work in progress - Comment on Why You Should Never Use Pixelation To Hide Sensitive Text 3 weeks ago:
By layers I mean image layers when manipulating an image in an image editor. So I guess what you’re saying is an image would be flattened before being passed to a compression algorithm?
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 3 weeks ago:
You’re more qualified than me, I’ve only watched How It’s Actually Made
- Comment on Why You Should Never Use Pixelation To Hide Sensitive Text 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if hypothetically, AI could do the same with a box over text, even if it was 100% opaque. For example, if the data from the layer containing text was part of the image data passed to an image compression algorithm, and that data was somehow reflected in the output

wiki.js
It has a few UI editor options, but I can definitely recommend the WYSIWYG markdown editor - Comment on Fun/interesting things to self host? 5 weeks ago:
I used to do it that way too, but my wife is not technically inclined, so we settled on something with a web UI for editing.
There are a few areas where the wiki is marginally better for me, the main one being the ability to do quick edits from a smartphone.
I do really like the simple approach with a static site builder though - Comment on Fun/interesting things to self host? 5 weeks ago:
Your own wiki, and your own social media-type service
I post miscellaneous notes to my social media-type service, and save lists and more organised information (including recipes) to my wiki.

The brain cells presumably have a life span… if this technology ever gets used in consumer devices, I’d like to know how people will try and squeeze extra life out of a failing component.
Take it out and warm it in their hands like an alkaline battery?
Give it a shake?
Sing to it?
Some kind of stimulant drug? - Comment on 16-inch laptop with Blu-ray drive, USB 4 and AMD Ryzen 7: Fujitsu FMV Note A launches 2 months ago:
