#SelfHosting week 1, phase 3.
Decision is almost made, considering a site based on hybrid solutions:
Newsletter -> buttondown
stories -> writefreely
interactions/comments -> lemmy (where stories from writefreely will spread to fediverse) and at this point I find less useful to federate Writefreely, given that this platform has no comments. Makes sense a "reply via e-mail" pointing to LetterBird page I have, and "follow [category/community] on Lemmy to comment via Fediverse.
What's missing? A stable navigation menu, and an internal search engine. Found a way to place a landing for the site, through writefreely's admin settings.
Ghost, even in the latest 6.10 version, is excluded. Tried it, and its accessibility is very very poor! It takes time to get rid of various interface elements not properly rendered by screen readers. Ghost is a clear adjustment due to obligations, not an "accessibility by design" project organization.
My main (no longer so hidden) intention is get rid of WordPress, despite self-hosted its philosophy is drastically changing.
And I even have Bearblog which solves some of the issues for nav menu and maybe search bar, but it's a centralized platform depending on one person only. Of course accessibility is the main focus, both in back and front-end.

Any suggestion or feedback is highly appreciated, this month will be dedicated to tests and experiments.

Logitech's mandatory app that you need to install to drive their keyboards and mice broke and won't launch on macOS, which means half of my buttons on my mouse aren't working, and they can't even push an OTA update, so you have to go to this specific support page and install the hotfix manually: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/37493733117847-Options-and-G-HUB-macOS-Certificate-Issue

I'm watching people in my feed screaming at each other over Firefox's "AI kill switch" this morning with some trepidation.

As far as I'm concerned, Firefox already has an AI kill switch. It's called browser.ml.chat.enabled, I set it to false more or less the day it appeared, it hasn't mysteriously popped back on since, despite angry posts to the contrary, and that's been that for me. It's disabled every "AI" feature I find objectionable. I'd prefer if Mozilla leadership would sync up with reality on occasion and stop deciding to put this paid placement trash into Firefox in the first place, but at least there's a reliable way to get rid of it.

Everything else people have been screaming at Mozilla about? I'm not sure I see the problem. The little model you can download to summarise web pages for you? I wouldn't trust it, and so I don't think it's necessarily a productive use of Firefox devs' time, but at least it's opt-in. The other little model you can download to help organise your tab groups? I don't use it much, but this one seems more practical, and it's also opt-in, despite the occasional angry report of it slowing down people's browsers even without having been downloaded. Liek, bro, maybe try closing a Slack tab or two.

I don't want ChatGPT in my browser, or Claude, or any kind of world burning data centre LLM pretending to be our new AI god. browser.ml.chat.enabled = false does that for me. It would be even better if it wasn't there in the first place. But tiny, focused ML models doing nominally useful things? I not only do not see the problem there, I'd like some of them to be part of the Web platform rather than just the browser. I've been wishing since they launched them that Mozilla would make an API available to web sites out of those translation models of theirs, for instance.

I'm monitoring the situation, as European heads of state like to say, but so far, despite the posturings of their C-suite types, it doesn't seem like any critical Mozilla resources are being diverted away from maintaining the Web platform into AI boosterism. Every new Firefox changelog is delivering on what it should be delivering on, and it's only occasionally that I see a new "AI" feature advertised. Compare that to a product like VSCode, which has been completely consumed by the cancer of slop production with only one in a hundred changelog entries being about building an actual damned code editor, and I'm not feeling all that alarmed about Firefox just yet.

I know this is Mastodon, but sometimes I just wish people would entertain having opinions that can have some nuance in between "burn the world down so the AGI can live" and "Butlerian Jihad now," you know?

"LLMs learn the same way a person does, it's not plagiarism"

This is a popular self-justification in the art-plagiarist community. It's frustrating to read because it's philosophically incoherent but making the philosophical argument is annoyingly difficult, particularly if your interlocutor maintains a deliberate ignorance about the humanities (which you already know they do). But there is a simpler mechanical argument you can make instead: "learning" is inherently mutual.

Threads意外地不少人認為伴侶同居沒有辦法很好休息，但主要原因又不意外地是家務，特別是要替另一半做事

是說我以前也很期待同居，但現在即使只有假日和伴侶同居，也會覺得沒辦法好好完全放鬆。一起居住是一種不能自私的妥協

所以伴侶有時候說有事不能來的那個休假，雖然會覺得可惜但又矛盾地覺得有真正放假的感覺

Absolutely right! I use several programs that are rarely upgraded and work very nicely. Bluefish and calibre immediately jump to mind. Both have slowly added features over around 20 years that I've used them and have stayed solid. I have another one for maybe 5 years that has glitzy new features often and a couple years ago a bug appeared that is annoying and limiting. The upgrades keep coming (one came this morning) and the bug I reported and got an email back saying they are a small shop, etc., is still there.

I must add: I have not paid for these programs, though I do donate, so I am still grateful for the use of all of them. Paying for stuff like that would be different. How can they sleep at night to control someone washing their clothes?
