Finished (almost) the leftie! Aurora Corne kit from SplitKB. Waiting for the battery (wired works fine for now), and to figure out the OLED display.

Very happy with how this looks, even though the keycaps are temporary, scavenged from a spare Nuphy Air set.

Tomorrow I'll do it again with the rightie! #crkbd

New boards arrived with silk made in #gerbolyze from a sheet of patterned #origami paper. The silkscreen covers the mostly empty bottom layer, with the top silk containing all component references. The footprint in the middle is a socket for a Würth WR-WST direct-to-board connector that I'm starting to use as a much cheaper and more convenient alternative to the offerings of Tag-Connect.

We are strongly against the new ‘dangerous’ #Google DRM / Web-Environment-Integrity. Here’s our take: 👇

https://vivaldi.com/blog/googles-new-dangerous-web-environment-integrity-spec/

With Google’s #WebEnvironmentIntegrity, the threat to the open web is greater as it could be used to encourage #Microsoft and #Apple to cooperate with Google to restrict competition in the browser and the operating system space.
This should be prevented from moving forward.

Unpacking Google’s new “dangerous” Web-Environment-Integrity specification

Why Vivaldi browser thinks Google’s new proposal, the Web-Environment-Integrity spec, is a major threat to the open web and should be pushed back.

@annmlipton However, when we see content they have selected for us using an algorithm, they can serve all the stupid, easily digestible, popular content, which we would never consciously subscribe to, but which we are prone to click on when it is available.

The result is, we spend more time consuming content, and they make more money, and the entire world spends more energy and time on stupid content consumption.

This is why I am on Mastodon and not spending my days on Twitter.
