Chat I think I've made it and become a Software-Visionary 🤔

For years it has been obvious to me that a snail-like arrangement of browser tabs would be superior to linear modes. It clearly guides the visual focus to the screen center, and you notice when your tabs spiral out of control.

After years of brainstorming a friend started building it: https://github.com/grubersjoe/tabsnail

Anruf im linXXnet: "Wann bekommen Deutsche endlich das gleiche wie Ausländer!? Ich bin übrigens selbst Ausländer und rufe aus Berlin an." - @panzerfee: "Was genau meinen Sie denn?" - Anrufer: "Zum Beispiel bekommen Flüchtlinge in Berlin für 2.400 € einen Elektroroller."

This is unreal. The 2026 code4lib conference has been cancelled unilaterally by Carnegie Mellon University because the Department of Education raised issues with the diversity scholarships (which have been constant for at least a decade, if not longer):

> An applicant must be a member of a group not well-represented within the code4lib community, including but not limited to: women, people of color, LGBTQ+, ability/disability, non-binary gender identities, etc.

“Who cares if computers can make music? That’s not what music is,” says Wolinski. “The moving of the speakers to generate sound waves is such a tiny part of what gives music meaning. It’s all about the social relations around [it], the human dialogue between one person and another, even if they never meet. This is what art is — and it’s why generative AI completely misses the point.”

I'd really like to attend #39c3 this year, but I'm not connected to any organizations eligible to receive vouchers. do I know anyone who could help me get one? or just straight up a ticket?

edit: I have now been helped and will be getting a ticket as soon as my payment is through. thanks everyone who suggested things and especially the person who then sent me a voucher. whee! (this will be my first time having a ticket sind ... 2015? I think?)
