"Notepad++ is an open source project without a registered business entity, which makes traditional validation challenging. We’re currently seeking a certificate authority that can issue a code signing certificate directly to “Notepad++” rather than to an individual. If you’re able to provide such a certificate, or know an organization that can, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we’d greatly appreciate your help."

OH RIGHT

while yall are investgating alternate browsers, STAY AWAY FROM BRAVE

• run by homopobe and financial backer of other homophobes Brendan Eich

• crypto is all over the fucking thing. they drip feed users tiny amounts of crypto for unblocking certain ads and fill the home screen with crypto trackers and shit

• they "block ads" but inject their own affiliate links into sites you view

this is not the browser youre looking for

The attempts by law enforcement & governments to subvert end-to-end encryption are ongoing. The European Commission is going to spend a year thinking about their new "Roadmap for law enforcement access to data", and they are (genuinely) asking for people to join their expert group to help. Here I urge you to join that group (also because I can't): https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/possible-end-to-end-to-end-come-help/

Possible End to End to End Encryption: Come Help - Bert Hubert's writings

tl;dr: The European Commission is honestly asking for experts to advise them on ways to institute “effective and lawful access to data for law enforcement”. If you are an expert, I urge you to apply to join this group. You have until September 1st. Do read on for more details! The never-ending battle where police and intelligence services demand more/total access to communications shows no sign of stopping, even in the face of mathematical and practical impossibilities.

I pointed a VM of the old Google Search Appliance at one of my retrocomputing project websites, and... remember when Google search results looked like this?

Did you know that new #Emoji can be proposed by anyone, simply by following some guidelines laid out by the #Unicode consortium? There's a time window each year where they accept proposals, and a select few might make it into future sets.

This year I turned one in: "Circuit Board", which I was surprised to find 1. didn't exist and 2. had not been proposed before (though CPU and Microchip have both been submitted and declined in the last 5 years)

You can read my proposal here:
https://storage.googleapis.com/greg-kennedy.com/Proposal%20for%20Emoji%20%E2%80%9CCircuit%20Board%E2%80%9D.pdf

and you can see the Unicode emoji proposal guidelines here:
https://www.unicode.org/emoji/proposals.html

Anyway, the odds aren't great of getting accepted, but if it IS then you can say "hey! I know the guy who submitted that one!"

Attached are the sample images I drew up for the proposal - which, incidentally, are now Public Domain as well. Enjoy!

Good #emoji proposal!

I always worry how they’ll “read” at 18 px

If someone has to pick them out of a lineup the colour is great, but such things may need some perfect design for people to see what they are

See FAX MACHINE 📠? ROLODEX 📇? PAGER 📟?

(Thank you 2000s emoji developers)

We just did PHONOGRAPH but got denied too 😔

Tried to simplify the image

Maybe they didn’t like the trademark Grammy/RCA confusion?

Or our comparing w/ other emoji

@AccordionBruce Ah that's unfortunate! I reviewed the big list of denied proposals and there's quite a lot in there, so I don't have much hope in this one getting through. But at least I can say I tried :)

Totally worth doing the proposals either way. I love the genre combination of “Serious academic research grant” and “Please let billions of people use my tiny cartoon” 🙏🏼

@greg it’s disappointing that a microchip was not approved.

I’m surprised there’s no Easter egg

@greg I was literally looking for a circuit board emoji three days ago - great timing!

MiSt Jun 29

@greg my favorite line from that proposal:
"Circuit Board is its own character."
yes! be independent! don't let the other characters tell you what you are! be yourself as you always were meant to be!

@greg @anthropy I love it! I was shocked there wasn’t even a CPU emoji. Any black IC with legs would do. It’s very symbolic and suitable for use as emoji.
