The GENIUS Act is not the end of the financial surveillance agenda. It’s the next phase. And anyone still clinging to the idea that regulated stablecoins are "better than CBDCs" needs to take a long, hard look at the fine print.

@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

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.
