Just spent more time than I'd like to admit creating my own game covers for the #PS1 games I'll play on my #MiyooMiniPlus :blobcatderpy:

It's not long until the 1st of June, so why not pick up the guitar and learn some catchy tunes for the summer? I've just published version 7.0 of Fretboard, which brings more accurate chord name prediction, note names on hover for the neck top toggles, and a couple of fixes for various small issues encountered since last release. It should be on Flathub very soon!

I am thinking about adding a computer history section to my blog, you know, researching companies, old tech etc...
Always been interested in that.

Anybody be interested in reading what I can dig up?

(Propably going to do it anyway...)

OK, #IFTTT has stopped my #bot (#RSS to Mastodon) and is now asking me for €2.5 to restart it as a "pro". I can't say I'm surprised … but I'm open to any good (and libre) alternative 🤓

Another act against programmed #obsolescence with a friend's #iMac, which was in perfect condition but hadn't had macOS updates for a few years and so couldn't have the latest software (thanks golden prison), which was annoying for a web browser (as an example).

As she no longer had any specific software needs, just office software, a bit of web and video playback, I installed @elementary for her and she's super happy, it's even weird for her to have regular updates 😅

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.

I have to admit that it's a bit "scary" about Matrix's priorities but the few channels I consult on Libera Chat are very very (very) poorly frequented … probably not worth the effort ? 🤔

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

« 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 … »

New bidder in the #SearchEngine alternative quest : #Stract. Clearly, the engine is young (2022), so expect a few gaps (it could do with a few more indexations), but it's promising. I particularly like the "optic" concept and the Explore tab 🤓

« Why Your Wi-Fi Router Doubles as an Apple AirTag » by @briankrebs

« Apple did not respond to requests for comment. But in late March 2024, #Apple quietly tweaked its #privacy policy, allowing people to opt out of having the #location of their wireless access points collected and shared by Apple — by appending “_nomap” to the end of the Wi-Fi access point’s name (SSID). Adding “_nomap” to your Wi-Fi network name also blocks Google from indexing its location. »
