DanQ.meMost-often when a toaster has a 'cancel' button it's simply labelled 'cancel', 'stop', or with a cross. But this week, I discovered a toaster that uses the 'eject' icon - like you'd find on a VHS tape recorder - on its button.
At first I thought this was an unusual user interface choice, but I'm coming around to it. It feels like a more-accurate and skeuomorphic representation of what actually happens than a cross suggests.
But the existence of toasters like this one does necessarily mean that, some day, some Gen Alpha will see a tape deck in, like, a museum or something, and will say 'hey, that's cute: the button you press to pop the tape out is the same as the one you use to pop your toast out'.

Konform BrowserThe Settings GUI in #konform #browser was in need of some love and is now having a refresh. Several new knobs, some shuffling around to make things more cohesive and less scattered, and some edits of hints to hopefully reduce potential for confusion.
New options for:
- First-Party Isolation
- Enhanced #tracking Protection tweaking in Custom mode (useful mostly for FPI users)
- #webrtc and ICE
- #dom Push and its optional network connection
- #jit features
- WebAssembly (#wasm)
- Geolocation
- WebGPU
- Async callstacks support
- Persisting of browser history
Hints and the "advanced" options expand when clicking the "?" for parent option.
Still a bit hesitant on where global toggles for #webgpu and #webgl belong. And perhaps configuration for cross-origin referrer could also move to Browser Privacy controls?
Otherwise feels like things are coming together - What do you think? Anything you're missing or that feels out of place?

InfoQShipping mobile updates is a bottleneck: app store reviews, slow user updates, multiple versions in the wild.
#Nubank flipped the model with Catalyst - a scripted Server-Driven UI (#SDUI) framework that ships more than just layouts.
3,000+ engineers can now deploy UI changes and complex business logic to 115M+ users in under 20 minutes.
🚫 No app store update required.

Vivaldi TipsTip #801
Enable automatic hiding of the browser’s user interface.
Automatically hiding the browser’s toolbars gives all the available space in the Vivaldi window to the page content. Whether the window is maximized or not. It’s great for those browsing on smaller screens and those, who prefer a more minimalist, distraction free experience.
To toggle Auto-hide on and off, use one of the following methods:
- Click the “Toggle Auto-hide” button on the Status Bar.
- Use the Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl+F11 / ⌘ F11.
- Type “Toggle UI Auto-hide” in Quick Commands.
- Go to the Vivaldi menu > Window > UI Auto-hide.
- Create a Mouse Gesture for the action.
- Go to Settings > Appearance > UI Auto-Hide and tick the box for “Enable UI Auto-hide”.
