Remember kids, if you’re not writing your web apps in VBScript and ActiveX then you’re going to be left behind!

I hate to say I’m desperate, but I haven’t had work in *months*. If anyone’s looking for a #freelance senior #wordpress #developer, please keep me in mind. I do full, custom theme builds, specialize in #accessibility and #semantic code, and am a great communicator about time estimates and budgets! My full portfolio is www.amberweinberg.com

If you don’t have any work, I would appreciate a boost 😊

All I knew about Zig before reading this post is that it's a programming language in the C/C++/Rust subspace. I have no opinion at all about the language. But this post almost makes me want to use it, just because of its credible long-time plan to become and remain community-managed technology.

Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

Holy shit this is detailed. Can you believe the hubris to silently collect all this information on users?

The Attack: How it works

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. This page documents exactly how the system works, with line references and code excerpts from LinkedIn’s production JavaScript bundle.

Friendly reminder: last year I built FediMod FIRES, a protocol and reference server implementation for sharing moderation data.

I haven't yet been able to get anyone to adopt it or even signal intent to adopt. But regularly I see people complaining about the lack of data sharing when it comes to moderation, especially for combating spam, scams, and harassment. The tool is there, please use it!

Whilst I'm not actively working on FediMod FIRES this quarter, I did apply in November for a grant to continue that work, and last I heard a few weeks ago is that the grant made it to the next stage, so I may have some money again to fund development.

It's not 1.0.0 yet, because I decided it needed more work for me to be happy to call it that, but it is usable!

Installation is also super simple for data producers, literally two commands on debian or ubuntu boxes.

The Macbook Neo gaming benchmarks YouTube videos are pure comedy. Watching people celebrate 30 FPS at 720p in Cyberpunk is wild when we have handhelds and even Android phones pushing more efficient numbers. With a non-upgradeable 8 GB RAM ceiling, this isn't a good machine. It is a ticking clock for a landfill.

There are better ways of spending $600+. Like a used Thinkpad T14 Gen 3 or 4 that lets you change your storage, RAM, and even repair other parts of the computer.

The Neo's memory bandwidth caps at 60 GB/s. In case you don't understand just how small that is, even older entry level PC's have caps above 400 GB/s. It is slower than a 2020 Macbook M1.

Hardware sovereignty starts with specs that can actually survive the remainder of the decade.

Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement.
Tomorrow, Gluon will release JavaFX 26 builds. I'm very proud of our team, and the whole JavaFX community, for the great work that has been done since we started working on JavaFX 11. Out of nostalgy, I was reading an old blog post: https://gluonhq.com/javafx-11-release-and-support-plans/
About 8 years ago, not many believed that we would continue and succeed. But we didn't give up.
JavaFX 11 Release and Support Plans - Gluon

A number of things have happened since it was announced that JavaFX will be offered as a component separate from the core JDK. Most importantly, a mirror of the OpenJFX repository has been created on GitHub, and a number of new developers have arrived to increase development efforts. These new contributors arrived because GitHub made […]
