« #Apple doesn’t understand why you use technology » by Elizabeth Lopatto

« This ad does highlight a particular Silicon Valley attitude: It scorns the past as outdated rather than respecting it as clever. In some sense, these companies have to: they’ve got products to sell. »

« As beautiful as code can be – regardless of your definition of “beautiful” – software is always somewhat defined by its utility. On the other hand, art exists per se, without any kind of intrinsic utility rather than its mere existence, and the sensations it generates […] A piece of #software, following this reasoning, must be useful, and hence is not actually #art.

But it might as well be classified as artisanal, in the sense that it conveys utility and beauty … »

« To make #SuperTuxKart a better game and to reach the 2.0 release sooner, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE NEED ARE NEW CONTRIBUTORS, be they helping with a few specific things or with many. #Artists who could contribute new textures, 3D modelling, music, icons; #developers who could implement features, fix bugs, improve the code structure or work on the engine; contributors willing to improve documentation, create content advertising the game or meticulously report bugs »

Yes, the #dopamine cartel … there's no more such thing as "art"

« The tech platforms aren’t like the Medici in Florence, or those other rich patrons of the arts. They don’t want to find the next Michelangelo or Mozart. They want to create a world of junkies—because they will be the dealers. » The Honest Broker

#HowTo convert DTS to AAC (and save space) thru #Linux with #FFMPEG

› Open you #MKV file with #MKVToolNix
› Select only the audio track you want and run multiplexing
› You have normally your MKA file now
› ffmpeg -i input.mka -acodec aac -vn output.m4a

I've gone from 4GB to 400MB 🤓 (could be useful)

You can now "remerge" this new audio track with the previous MKV

In June, #enshittification to come for #Chrome (and its derivatives) : #Google's #ManifestV3 will take effect.

• #AdBlockers will be limited to 30,000 rules … no more

• They will no longer be able to update themselves daily, but only when new versions of extensions are published (which Google sometimes takes up to 3 weeks to validate)

To sum up, #AdBlocking extensions will always be late on websites, and in any case will not have enough rules to cover all sites.
