🎉 New Kitten feature: Markdown pages

You can now create .page.md files and use front matter to specify a layout template as well as any other props you want to pass to your layout.

(I’m working on the Kitten web site with docs, etc., so I thought I’d bite the bullet and add this feature this morning to make my life easier. Should make it easier to make this sort of site with Kitten in the future for everyone.)

Mozilla is working on putting an AI into Firefox that automatically describes images completely locally (without sending anything over the internet). In the absence of a description, this is a great help to people with vision problems

In other words: you don't hate AI, you hate capitalism

Man, I remember the days when spammers at least made an effort.

This is bit of a stretch ask, and, possibly very vague, but - I've been trying (and struggling) to find potential speakers for #ffconf that can talk on the subject of "how to think critically / being sceptical".

Ideally wanting UK based, but can stretch to Europe.

Any suggestions?

Prime Video has such weird vibes.

If it was a person it would smell exactly like Lynx Africa body spray, Lambert & Butler cigarettes and a particular kind of dorm room bedsheets that haven’t seen the inside of a washing machine in 6 months.

w00t! 🎉 #Kitten now has a shiny new…

kitten shell

…command you can use to connect to your Kitten daemon in production to debug it, etc.

Also, I don’t know if I missed something simple but I had a hard time handling Node’s #REPL preview completions over a socket connection. Couldn’t find any docs. Managed to fix it by implementing a control channel to communicate the remote client’s terminal size. Wrote it up here, in case it helps anyone else:

I do love that buffer.subarray() returns a – checks notes – Buffer instance, not an array, in Node.js. 👀

I'm in 'severe emotional distress' reading about these snowflakes all the time... 🤦‍♂️

'A Christian lifeguard is suing the city of Los Angeles for "severe emotional distress" after he was stationed near a Pride flag last year.
Jeffery Little filed a lawsuit on Friday claiming he is being discriminated against for his evangelical faith by being made to stand in the same vicinity as the Progress Pride flag.'

#LongCovid is real & it's not getting any better by ignoring it. #CovidIsNotOver & pretending otherwise is whistling past the graveyard

Fortune magazine is not any kinda leftie platform - they're watching how disabled workforce impacts bottom lines

I love that a multi-billion-dollar corporation like RedHat/IBM can ship an operating system with a broken screen reader in 2024 (it’s not just them, it’s true for basically every major Linux distribution today) and, when you point it out, the response is “it’s no one’s fault… it’s all free labour… it’s FOSS, man”. And then: oh, and this charity is paying for one person to work on accessibility support to be implemented now… Anyone else see how fucked up that is?
