In 2009, Microsoft made it a focus of the Windows 7 user experience guidelines to reduce pointless notifications. They point out notifications like the classic “There are unused icons on your desktop” as being in the Windows XP Hall of Shame™. Seriously, it’s in there: https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/uxguide/mess-notif
In 2026, Windows interrupts you to ask if you want to clean up printers you haven’t used in a while. The intent is unclear (which printers?), there are too many choices, and it stays visible until you click an option.
For a good while, Microsoft were limping their way to good UX, and this doc was finally a clear set of guidelines. Now, it feels like they’ve slipped back into the Windows XP Hall of Shame™ era, and any good UX they happen to come up with is an accident.

Today's technology & language mess: Google's voice to text is censoring slur. I wanted to say DPD, in a message in French, which is a delivery company. It understood "des pédés", French homophobic slur, so of course, it censored it.
That delivery company must have many issues in French. 😅

An obvious remark.
In the world of one-click LLM proofreads, I immediately value your post/blog/comment/email if you used your brain to write it.
There are signs that and I'm sure we can all pick those writing styles intuitively now. I can't believe this but it is almost a sign of respect in 2026 that the person replying to you used their own thoughts. It doesn't matter if you write perfect text with no grammatical mistakes, because it is human. Please don't let this practice die. Anyone else feel this way?

Newer HP machines (#Elitebook laptops, #Elitedesk desktops) seem to be woefully incompatible with #OpenBSD.
During boot, both the regular kernel and the ramdisk kernel hang at "entry point at 0x1001000". After tinkering for literal hours (BIOS options, different boot mediums, different versions, etc) I managed to get it working.
The problem is with the memory space. It can be fixed relatively simple with a custom kernel that uses a different address space. Here is the patch: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=161674750427354&w=2
Now running OpenBSD-current on an Elitebook with an eleventh gen Intel i5. The special keys (screen brightness, volume, etc) work out of the box

Das beeinflusst noch nicht zwingend die OS-Wahl meines nächsten Smartphones (vermutlich werde ich einfach ganz normales Linux drauf tun, Apps brauche ich ohnehin nicht), aber dieses Verschwörungsgeraune und persönliche Angriffe mit willkürlichen Unterstellungen auf jede*n, der/die Kritik übt, lässt schon aufhorchen.

Open standards – like the Open Document Format used by #LibreOffice – are extremely beneficial to end users. They reduce vendor lock-in, improve compatibility between apps, and preserve your data for longer: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/01/16/why-open-standards-are-beneficial-to-end-users/ #foss #openSource

@ChrisMayLA6Emeritus Prof Christopher May it doesn’t actually require them to see the homeless as deserving of help - if they just cared about the money, we’d house everyone for the cost savings.
That they aren’t housed even though we know it saves money means they’re willing to spend money to hurt homeless people.
They actively hate homeless and poor people and want to punish them.
@sus @ChrisMayLA6Emeritus Prof Christopher May
The rich might say that the working classes need to be disciplined. The real example of ruined lives visable on the streets is a motivatioal tool to get workers to work harder for less.
We can easiy solve homelessness if we want. It even saves money to do so by avoiding other costs police, mental heslth, hospitals etc.

Inspired by troubling events I re-watched "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" from Cabaret and when I played it YouTube had it playing inside an auto-generated playlist called "Patriotic National Anthems"
“In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.”

At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.
We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.
Our servers are based in Iceland.
If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?
Have a nice day!

I absolutely understand many, many people do not like AI generated videos. I don't like them either.
However, do not get threatening and sanctimonious and dog pile on someone who has posted something in good faith, clearly didn't know it was AI, and doesn't have the skills to spot it.
Because people become terrified of posting anything for fear of it being AI and getting lambasted for it.
AI is DESIGNED to fool people. And when you beat up someone who is fooled, you're beating up a victim.
