Leadership change announced at Bluesky.

I think Jay Graeber's biggest accomplishment: she allowed the Bluesky engineering team to follow their hearts on what they saw as pursuing the best design. Not easy to do given all the other pressures in the role.

Best of luck with what's next, and I hope future leadership does the same.

in non-meme poisoned form: this new CEO job is *temporary*. the details about the person who's about to be CEO for a bit are almost irrelevant. what matters is whoever gets the actual permanent job. all of this is very normal corporate stuff. you can't read into the tea leaves

"Autocorrect" is now "autoadjusting", consistently. By which I mean it's replacing perfectly good words with other words, which then make no sense, and convince me I'm losing my fine motor skills.

I tend to look at my hands or out the window while I'm typing so I don't catch it, but now I'm trying to watch the text while I type and I see it happen. Fast little changes where it will take something like, "A little pen with a mouse and bear," and change it to, "A little pan with a mouse and bear," and I SEE IT change 'pen' to 'pan'. Like...why? Pen is a perfectly cromulent word.

S konfliktem na Blízkém východě se na sociálních sítích objevila videa generovaná umělou inteligencí. U některých je to poznat na první pohled, odhalit jiná může být daleko těžší.

Multiple outlets (e.g. Middle East Eye, Reuters) also describe this double-tap: an initial hit, then a second strike on rescuers/parents gathering kids in a prayer hall. This is the second time in recent memory the U.S. military has been accused of an illegal attack on rescuers/survivors.

Couldn't sleep. Spent the night mocking up a rough draft of a refresh of KDE's 2003-era "Keramik" theme.

Hearing the "Oxygen" theme is getting love reminded me of this often overlooked aesthetic. Everaldo's Crystal icons defined this era of Linux for many users.

I've a pretty good idea of where I want to take this look. There's a good, crisp dynamic between blue and yellow design elements that already exists in many Crystal icons. Crystal has obvious influences, but Keramik itself is a standout, with reliance on 3D-like elements I want to explore more of.

(note: this isn't functional, I have no idea how to make a real theme, I'm just an artist toying around in Inkscape)

A mock-up of a KDE Plasma desktop themed in an updated version of a light blue-dominant theme, called Keramik, with a file manager window floating in the centre of the frame displaying several folders and files within its viewport. The title bar is a light blue with translucent white striations running its length, and the window title itself occupies a rounded, darker blue concave plate attached to the left side of the bar, currently displaying "Dolphin". The program window's surface above the viewport is slightly wavy, the vaguely metallic/plastic window fill appearing to dip down into the screen's depth just below the titlebar, but swelling back up again when it meets the viewport, with navigation buttons and the address bar cutting through the topography. A remix of Everaldo's Crystal icons, featuring crisp, glass-like representations of file folders, stand out across the desktop, with the floating, slightly concave taskbar below displaying a classic KDE "K" menu icon with an upper-case blue "K" blended in wth a yellow gear. An LCD-like digital clock occupies the other end of the taskbar. Several icons are on the desktop itself for various games from yesteryear: Day of Defeat, Counter Strike, Quake, Deus Ex, and Unreal Tournament 2004.

According to a post on LinkedIn by developer Uros Gazvoda, uBlock DNS has reached over 37 thousand accounts and over 36 million blocked requests.

linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:l

The project is unaffiliated with uBlock Origin and Raymond Hill. The project has been controversial, with some uBlock Origin users mistakenly installing it under the belief it was owned by the same person.
Adding to this, uBlock Origin fan site ublockorigin[.]com has began promoting the project, without disclosing it is unaffiliated with uBo.

RE: mastodon.social/@mcc/116200867

Notes about this:

1. For purposes of this week's music links I am declaring total amnesty on all sins and crimes, like *total* amnesty, even artists I am really upset with (I am not upset with Lil Keke)

2. I'm not actually sorry, Beck

3. You may have encountered Lil Keke being interviewed in the news in the last couple years about his time in the Screwed Up Click clique— specifically to talk about fellow S.U.C. member George Floyd, aka Big Floyd, later a resident of Minneapolis

Random thought.

If public libraries didn't already exist, capitalism wouldn't let you invent it. Can you imagine how many billions Jeff Bezos would plough into fighting the idea, destroying any politician who dared to back it?

Support your local library.
