Das Wirtschaftsmagazin SurPlus probiert offenbar eine neue Form von Bezahlschranken-Perfiderie aus: die "verlängerte Anfixung". Gerade las ich dort einen Artikel, las und las, gefühlt schon etliche Minuten, auch weil der Text durchaus anspruchsvoll war, bis plötzlich doch noch die Abblende kam mit dem freundlichen Hinweis aufs Probe-Abo. Ich weiß noch nicht so recht, ob ich mich darüber freuen soll, immerhin so viel lesen zu dürfen, oder ob ich mich ärgern soll, so viel Zeit zu investieren, um am Ende doch nur verarscht zu werden 😉
@Catweazle Ja - nur dass das keine konstruktiven Lösungen sind, sondern destruktive. Hin und wieder linke ich auch mal in Postings auf archive.ph oder so was, wenn ich etwa der Meinung bin, dass bestimmte Bezahlschranken-Artikel zu wichtig für die politische Meinungsbildung sind. Aber es ist mir immer bewusst, dass das letztlich destruktive Lösungen sind.
@StefanMuenz, es ist natürlich legitim, das Publikationen ein Einkommen generieren, aber Paywalls sind meiner Meinung nach nicht der richtige Weg.
Die bessere Lösung wäre die häufigen Leser auf ein Abo anzusprechen, was man ja technisch gut bewerkstelligen könnte. Es erscheinen so viele Artikel in verschiedenen Seiten im Netz, das es für einen Benutzer einfach unzumutbar ist bei jeder ein Abo zu erstellen, wenn er sie nur gelegentlich, einem Link folgend oder zufällig benutzt, besonders wenn der Artikel in anderen Seiten frei verfügbar ist.
Dann kommen eben diese Paywall blocker ins Spiel, was eigentlich auch nicht so ganz richtig ist, höchstens de zuletzt genannte, der auf die originalen Veröffentlichungen umleitet, sofern sie existieren.
Ich benutze Andisearch, eine Suchmaschine mit KI assistent um direkt Notizen und Artikel in anderen Seiten zu finden, wenn ich auf ein Paywall in einer stosse. Ein Abo bei einer einfachen, oft wichtigen Info, besonders heutzutage in Politik, ist für mich ein No-Go. Dark Pattern sind nicht der richtige Weg
The last decade of trannyism revealed a religion. Religions never die. Military grade AI will be offered for free to lure the whole world into being incapable of independent thought or analysis. Later when we are completely hooked on Thinking-As-A-Service (TaaS), the Trannies will sanction any country which doesn’t accept Trannyism as One True Religion.
@CattleBaron I heard a story about this yesterday. The Dems want him to run again because he is good at fundraising, and their base loves him (former educator = commie libtard) in addition to having no one else on their bench to take his place. He’s like Biden, a brain dead lump that can be pushed around by the prog-lib special interests.
Problem is that his act is wearing thin with the indie voters.
@CattleBaron I’m not sure it matters much though. Because the state has seen an exodus of conservative voters over the last 4-6 years to states like FL, TN, and AZ leaving us with a majority lib population. And don’t get me started on the election shenanigans they’ve been pulling here since 2018. I am actually convinced the DNC used WI as a test market in 2018 for what they did in 2020 to get Biden elected.
The Palestinians of Ras Ain al-Ouja are the latest Bedouin community targeted for expulsion by Israel. They are being forced out through violent settler harassment as part of Israel’s plan to annex most of the West Bank.
Britain’s government is banning the group Palestine Action for its role in nonviolent direct action against Israeli arms factories — a sinister and unprecedented move from a government that wants to suppress opposition to the Gaza genocide.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that the total expenditure of the alliance countries on military support for Ukraine by the end of 2025 may exceed 50 billion euros ($58.2 billion).

Boeing and Airbus in a tizzy as C929 flawlessly completes 12,000km test flight
China's newest wide-body jet, the C929, is now officially airborne and ready to challenge the decades-long dominance of Boeing and Airbus. Developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, or COMAC, the C929 is not just an airplane—it's a testament to China's shift away from the West.
It's as if the western consumer capitalists dared them to jump off a roof, and in a hundred years, if humans survive, you WILL NOT BE SANE to get on one of their much touted bullet trains. They are WASTING THE WEALTH OF THEIR CITIZEN'S NATIONS to match an untenable and soon defunct western lifestyle. Next up. China in race with elon to lasso asteroids to mine them for magnetic material for Lectric cars. Mao is rolling in his grave
@heretical_i that's one way to look at it. the other one says that if they don't evolve technologically they will be permanent customers of the West. And I have no trust in the West
I'm of the belief that to be revolutionary, in a personal or institutional sense, one needs to completely walk away from... reject...untenable systems.. not mimick them. But that's just me. I live in an area where it's literally impossible to live a 'normal life' without a car, and as a revolutionary planet saving act haven't owned one for 30 years now. Not everyone can do that, but everyone can do something. Otoh China seems to be literally coercing it citizens into a technocracy
Teng Xiaoping considered it revolutionary to feed 1.3 billion hungry people. I consider it revolutionary to set up guillotines in all the main squares of every city and give priority to the bourgeois. It is a matter of perspective.
On the other hand, technology is a tool like a knife. Some use it to cut bread and others to make murder.

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 {} \;
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!

The Global North Lives Off Intellectual Rents: The Twenty-Sixth Newsletter (2025)
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):
Pharmaceuticals. Drug patents are largely owned by firms based in Europe, Japan, and the United States. A recent example of the high price of access to essential medical technologies was the cost of importing mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several countries in the Global South, such as South Africa and India, faced delays and inflated costs in vaccine procurement due to patent restrictions and limited technology transfer. (South Africa eventually opted to purchase vaccines from India’s generic producers – such as Cipla and the Serum Institute – which saved the country approximately $133 million over three years.)
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Every component of ICTs – from software and hardware to semiconductors and mobile networks – costs Global South countries a king’s ransom. This is not only because of the price of the physical products themselves, but also because of the high licensing fees for the underlying technologies, which are often controlled by exclusive patent pools (consortia of firms that jointly manage and license essential patents).
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 d…
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.
