RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

This is why I drew a line in the sand.

The industry wants to turn the browser into a concierge between you and the web, interpreting and filtering your reality. They call it delegation - I call it a loss of agency.

A browser should be a tool you wield, not something that makes decisions for you.

@arstechnica maybe worth mentioning us as an alternative ;)

Casio Business Navigator BN-20 hacking thread, part 1

A bit over a month ago our friend @kauzereiKauz stumbled upon a broken organiser and brought it home as a potential keyboard donor for a cyberdeck. The organiser ended up booting up. It didn't have any options to install any new programs, but it had a PCMCIA port.

I looked the model up, realised that it might be a 8086-based device, and called dibs on it. A few days ago I finally got my hands on it.

As it happens, the device is based on an embedded version of NEC V30 with an on-chip LIM EMS, and comes with 2MB ROM, 1MB program flash, 2MB user flash, and 128KB RAM. It seems to be somewhat related to the Casio PV series, but we don't know how much software it shares with it.

The standard software includes a calendar, a simple text processor, a spreadsheet editor, and a fax/modem. Let's hack it?~

The first order of business, though, is fixing the keyboard: some of the keys are not working.

The screen had blue backlight on.Spreadsheet editor on the organiser - it has a symbol selector, and hints that there are formulas that can be used in the spreadsheets, e.g. "SUM" or "COUNT"

Hrrrmm… kinda worried about the implications of what it says for pdm that that python developers survey considered Poetry significant enough to include under virtualenv/dependency management tools but not pdm.

Python Developers Survey 2026 screenshot. It asks what tools you use to "isolate python environments" and lists: venv, virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, uv, Hatch, Poetry, Pipenv, conda, Pixi, and none.

Linux distro vs. language package management

In the "normal" Linux distributions I've used, there's always this thing of, e.g.: "oh, no, that's the system Python*. Don't use that; it's only for other distro-managed software. You want a venv where you use pip (or whatever) to get the right dependencies."

I get why. But I'm curious: in distros like Nix or Guix, can you (easily) have the language-specific package manager handle the system-wide install of that language?

* not just Python, of course

[오늘의 상식] 기후위기가 심해지면 어째서 겨울에 더 심한 추위가 발생하나
- 전체적으로는 겨울의 기온이 상승하는 것은 사실입니다. 지구 전체의 기온이 상승하고 있으니까요.

- 겨울에 더 심한 추위가 발생하는 것은 제트기류의 문제인데, 제트기류는 북극지역의 차가운 공기가 밑으로 내려가지 못하도록 막는 역할도 합니다. 그런데 기후위기가 진행되면 이 제트기류의 흐름이 흐트러져 일시적으로 북극의 차가운 공기가 남하하는 경우가 발생한다고 합니다.
그리고 이렇게 남하한 공기가 특정 지역에 극한의 추위를 유발한다고 합니다.

Today, Data Privacy Day is celebrated in many countries. It's a great opportunity to take action and get back control over your personal data!

If you're looking to get off Google Maps, exporting your bookmarks/favorites from Google Maps can make a good start. Thanks to @rudo and his converter, you can easily convert your saved locations from there into a file format that you can import to CoMaps!
