Jef Raskin’s cul-de-sac & the quest for the humane computer
“He wanted to make [computers] more usable & friendly to people who weren't geeks.”
<- long, deep, fascinating, as Dr Cameron Kaiser usually is
I wish people in the F/OSS world would read more Raskin. The modern idea of an app as a silo is the antithesis of his ideal, but something that's directly derived from the silicon valley VC startup mentality requiring you to grow, which you can only do in a mature ecosystem at the expense of others. This requires you to build things that keep people in your world and out of others.
He did have some blindspots though. The article hints at this:
Raskin thus conceived of a unified workspace in which everything was stored, accessed through one single interface appearing to the user as a text editor editing one single massive document
Raskin was very text focused. As someone who likes text, it's easy for me to fall into this trap as well. On early computers, this was understandable, because text was about all that they could do, but it was a limitation.
ClarisWorks did some aspects of Raskin's philosophy somewhat better than he did. If you created a text box in the 'drawing' program, you got the behaviour of the word processor. If you created a table in the drawing or word processor program, you got the behaviour of the spreadsheet. Component models were popular at the time, but they ran up against both economic and security problems (insert long CHERI digression here).
Raskin's First Law (A computer many not harm a user's data, or through inaction allow a user's data to come to harm) was an underlying principle for the CoreObject system we built for Étoilé. Every change was automatically persisted. Undo was non-destructive and you could always revert to any previous state by exploring the tree of previous versions. You could also merge changes from previous branches. Revision control systems have a similar model, but rarely integrate with the UI's undo model, so end up with the kind of modality that Raskin hated.

中途半端な時間に起きてしもうた…
たまにmacbook使うと、webの読み込みの速さに驚く。2013年のmac book proでこれなので、最新の使ったらどうなってしまうのか。
appleは結局9割（は言い過ぎか）の人たちはwebブラウザしか使わないのをわかっていて、それにあわせたチューニングをしているのではないかと思う。
여러분 귀여운 사람이 되어주세요.

Universal laws of data formats:
1. Any serialization format for complex data structures will eventually be used for storing only a single, unstructured string.
2. Any unstructured string field in any data format will eventually hold structured data as JSON/XML/etc.
3. These laws apply recursively.

ボイコットに意義があるのは、イメージにたいして亀裂を入れるからだとおもう。反広告というかネガティブな広報としての意味がある。
ボイコットとは利益に対するダメージであるというより、イヤガラセという側面は重要だと思っていて、悪いやつは何をされたら嫌がるのか。
And my job (like everyone else in #infosec ) is cutting my hours (and even months... next year i'll only be paid for 11 months out of 12). At least I still have hours to be cut.
I have a job until December 31st. I'm hoping they'll reup the contract, such as it is. We'll see.
I need to spin up my LLC again and see if there's any meaningful side work available.
Might join with other testers and form a co-op.
I had a successful side business for a bit and then the pandemic wiped it out just as it was about to turn into my main business. And then my life completely flipped the lid, lol.
But I'm in a better places now... so. Let's see if I can do it again.
In this environment. Lol. Sob.
Gotta put food on the table, even as fascism seeks to destroy us. Yaaaay.....

Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation
Last night, my wife looks up from her computer, troubled. She tells me she can't log into her computer running Windows 11, as every time she enters the PIN code to her account, the login screen throws up a cryptic error: "Your credentials could not be verified". She's using the correct PIN code, so that surely isn't it. We opt
