Just added #brotli compression to the #DWEP PWA web app. It can compress javascript by 80-90%. So using this significantly reduces the need of minifying #javascript. And if minifying is avoided then the app is more transparent since the user can see the actual code that is being run
This line can be used (for example in a CI file) to create brotli-compressed files: find public -type f -regex '.*\.\(htm\|html\|xml\|txt\|text\|js\|css\|svg\|md\)$' -exec brotli -f -k {} \;

PNG is back!After 20 years, PNG is back with renewed vigor! A new PNG spec was just released. Jokes aside, this is exciting news. PNG is back to its former glory after its progress stalled for over two decades. Did you know the U.S. Library of Congress, Library and Archives Canada, and the National Archives of Australia recommend PNG? It is important that we keep PNG current and competitive. After 20 years of stagnation, PNG is back with renewed vigor!

Despite rapid technological innovations, Global South countries remain trapped in Global North-dominated intellectual property regimes designed to extract endless rents through patents and licensing fees– stripping them of wealth and stunting their development.
Despite the growing technological and industrial capacity of countries in the Global South, countries and corporations in the Global North continue to own intellectual property patents on key products, locking the South into indefinite patent payment regimes. These include patent payments for pharmaceuticals, digital technologies (such as licensing fees for software and telecommunications infrastructure), and agricultural goods (such as genetically modified seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and equipment). Scientific and technological advances have indeed accelerated in the Global South, with several countries – particularly in Asia – developing sophisticated high-speed rail, green technologies, and telecommunications infrastructure. Yet even in these sectors, most countries continue to pay large rents to Global North firms that own patents on key components.
There are five sectors where the imbalance in patent-related payments is most severe (in other words, where Global South countries pay significantly more in royalties and licensing fees than they receive in return):

Writing a basic Linux device driver when you know nothing about Linux drivers or USB
A couple of months ago I bought the Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock, the latest and greatest in USB-hub-with-RGB-LEDs-and-hooks-for-gadgets technology. This invention unfortunately only supports the real gamer operating systems of Windows and macOS, which necessitated the development of a Linux driver.Over the past few posts I’ve set up a Windows VM with USB passthrough, and attempted to reverse-engineer the official drivers, As I was doing that, I also thought I’d message the vendor and ask them if they could share any specifications or docs regarding their protocol. To my surprise, Nanoleaf tech support responded to me within 4 hours, with a full description of the protocol that’s used both by the Desk Dock as well as their RGB strips. The docs mostly confirmed what I had already discovered independently, but there were a couple of other minor features as well (like power and brightness management) that I did not know about, which was helpful.

Every hour you read something more warmongering than the previous. Everyday they say openly that they take our money to give em to a bunch of capitalists and we, the working class, just standing there like hypnotized waiting for the military call to be meat for their profits.
#Warmongers #FuckWarmongers #Eupol #USA #Uspol #ArmsIndustry #ClassWar
#Europe is seeing a dramatic boost in defense budgets, driven by both long-standing pressure from Washington and the continent’s own reaction to #Russia ’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine. That promises a glut of military contracts for weapons-makers in Europe as well as in the U.S., South Korea and elsewhere.
...The enormous scale of new defense spending — the European Commission estimates that the bloc’s members will need to spend €500 billion on defense over the next decade — still means there will be a lot of money available for European defense firms.
That said, the early winner of Europe’s defense buildup is likely to be the U.S.

The industry anticipates that no matter what the new U.S. president does, it stands to make a lot of money.Joshua Posaner (POLITICO)
Organizations, activists, political and material collectives who run for environmental issues, #ClimateCrisis etc. should take action to fight #warmongers. They openly say (everywhere, not just in #EuropeanUnion) that they must spend the money of #workingclass (you remember that big companies have less taxes than us?) for armaments and to leave the (capitalist) green transition aside. Means they don't care at all about the destruction war industry and their inevitable wars produce. Tusk explains better.
«Making references to Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine and Belarus's campaign of instrumentalised migration, which his country has experienced firsthand, Tusk implored EU states to address security "seriously" and be "flexible" and "creative" to design novel ways to finance the necessary boost in military expenditure.»
«"I'll be honest: we shouldn't really care too much about what method we adopt to finance pan-#European defence projects," he told lawmakers in #Strasbourg.»
«In the prime minister's view, "some" of the environmental regulations that the #EU has introduced in the past five years are responsible for the "prohibitively" high #energy prices. - Energy bills began rising in 2022 when the market hit record-high levels in reaction to #Russia 's manipulation of gas supplies.»
In a speech before the European Parliament, Donald Tusk called for a major boost in Europe's defence spending and a "critical review" of the Green Deal.Jorge Liboreiro (Euronews.com)

Con una trayectoria que pasa por El Periódico, El Mundo y La Vanguardia, fue un referente en el género de la entrevista y la crónica de ambiente y publicó numerosos libros
El periodista y escritor Arturo San Agustín (Barcelona, 1949) ha fallecido durante la mañana de hoy a los 76 años, según ha informado a primera hora La Vanguardia, uno de los periódicos que habían acogido sus crónicas y artículos de opinión y con el que más asiduamente colaboro en esta última etapa de su vida profesional.
Antes había sido una figura frecuente primero en El Periódico, desde donde proyectó su mirada crítica de la realidad catalana y barcelonesa, y después en el diario El Mundo. Junto a su faceta periodística, en la que se reveló un maestro de las entrevistas, desarrolló otra importante como escritor muy vinculado a temas como el Fútbol Club Barcelona, del que era un gran seguidor, y el Vaticano.
Destacan en su bibliografía títulos como El otro zoo de Barcelona, de 1976; M'agrada que em faci aquesta pregunta: l'entrevista en premsa, de 1999, La nena del Leopoldo: Una crónica de Barcelona, de 2010 o Un perro verde entre los jóvenes del Papa de 2011.
En el campo del ensayo, escribió Tras el portón de bronce, que analizaba la realidad vaticana en tiempos del papa Francisco. Otro libro relevante suyo, publicado en el 2014, fue Cuando se jodió el nuestro, en el que analizaba la complicada relación entre Catalunya y España con entrevistas incisivas a personajes como Miquel Iceta, Jordi Pujol, Josép Cuní, Enrique Juliana, José Manuel Lara o Juan Manuel Tresserras.
Nacido en Barcelona en 1949, Arturo San Agustín pasó su juventud en el barrio del Poblenou –ahora renovado y principal colonia expatriada en la ciudad– y después entre el Somorrostro y una escuela de la Barceloneta, siempre ligado a esta parte de Barcelona. Su padre trabajaba para la compañía gasista El Arenal, situada en el distrito.
Antes de dedicarse de lleno al periodismo, San Agustín trabajó durante diez años como creativo publicitario, una etapa que le sirvió para desarrollar un estilo comunicativo directo y desinhibido, repleto de matices sugerentes, que aplicó posteriormente a sus labores tanto literarias como periodísticas.
El presidente de EEUU explota el 'peloteo' del secretario general de la OTAN: "Creo que le gusto"
El presidente de EEUU explota el 'peloteo' del secretario general de la OTAN: "Creo que le gusto" Mark Rutte, el secretario general que hizo del servilismo a Trump una forma de liderar la OTAN Los mensajes privados del secretario general de la OTAN a Trump: “Europa pagará a lo grande”
Que Mark Rutte está encantado con Donald Trump no es ningún secreto. Primero el presidente de EEUU publicó en redes hace unos días una conversación con Rutte, secretario general de la OTAN, en la que este le adulaba hasta niveles –para muchos– bochornosos por el ataque de Estados Unidos a Irán.
Luego, ya durante el marco de la cumbre de la OTAN en La Haya, Rutte y Trump comparecieron este miércoles de forma distendida ante la prensa. Mientras el estadounidense trataba de explicar que veía el conflicto entre Israel e Irán como “dos niños en el patio del colegio” a los que hay que dejar que se peguen un rato antes de calmarse, el secretario general de la OTAN le compraba el argumento, y apostillaba: “Sometimes, daddy has to use strong language” (A veces, papi tiene que usar lenguaje fuerte).
La frase provocó la risa de algunos asistentes a la rueda de prensa, y la cosa no quedó ahí. En otra comparecencia posterior de Donald Trump ante los medios, una periodista de Sky News le preguntaba: “Mark Rutte le ha llamado papá; ¿usted ve a los aliados de la OTAN como una especie de hijos?”. Trump contestaba que Rutte es su amigo: “Le gusto, creo que le gusto, lo ha hecho con cariño… ‘papá, eres mi papá’”. De fondo, ni siquiera Marco Rubio, secretario de Estado de EEUU, podía aguantar la risa.
Y de nuevo, el asunto no ha quedado ahí. Esta madrugada, la cuenta oficial de la Casa Blanca ha publicado –en redes y en su web oficial– un vídeo de la llegada de Trump a la cumbre de la OTAN que podría parecer parodia, pero no lo es. Lleva en grande el título ‘Daddy’s home’ (la casa de papá) y va acompañada de la canción de Usher con ese mismo nombre.

WATCH: “In a courtyard shattered by war and stripped of all signs of life, I found children sweeping the rubble with their tiny hands, trying to bring back a place that was once a playground. They ran barefoot after a faded ball, as if chasing days that haven't arrived yet. I walked closer and asked one of them, ‘Aren't you scared of the drones?’ He looked up, breathless, and said, ‘When did we ever stop playing?’”
