SCIENCE!
Everyone in tech and national security should read this piece to understand what will happen not if but when China 🇨🇳 blockades or invades Taiwan 🇹🇼. It'll make the 2008 economic crisis look like a cake walk. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/technology/taiwan-china-chips-silicon-valley-tsmc.html?unlocked_article_code=1.PFA.V27i.oMfqB5NyJ8vB&smid=nytcore-ios-share
The Looming Taiwan Chip Disaster That Silicon Valley Has Long Ignored

If China invades Taiwan and cuts off its chip exports to American companies, the tech industry and the U.S. economy would be crippled.

Liebe #Politiker aus #Europa: alles klar sonst im Oberstüberl?

No way! Dass ihr diese Daten habt, ist schon ein Riesenskandal. Dass ihr die ausgerechnet den Amis schenkt, lässt mich an der Glaubwürdigkeit der #Politik zweifeln.

#DSGVO - schon mal gehört. War schon damals frech, Behörden auszunehmen.

EU gesteht USA wohl direkten Datenzugriff zu – automatisierte Verfahren möglich

Der jetzige Stand erlaubt auch die Weitergabe besonders heikler Daten wie politischen Einstellungen. Zukünftige Streitigkeiten dürfen nicht vor Gericht gebracht werden

DER STANDARD

I made an app.

Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

I hope it's useful for someone.

The app is now open source (AGPL-3.0), the app is free and rather simple

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making. F-Droid is an option, will have to look into that

I have a DJI osmo nano camera and I just saw an error log on the sd card that makes it pretty clear the OS for the camera runs in a docker container on the camera.

@jeffjarvis It's incredible to me that this man managed to resurface...

Anyhow, here's a song you might enjoy from the early 2000s - It's about the city of Hamburg. In it: Und statt unsympathisch, jung-dynamisch wie Friedrich Merz Ist hier alles laid-back, relaxed und friesisch herb...

@lutindiscret Oh for crying out loud ... can people stop complaining about #Mozilla for just 5 seconds?

In 2025 the #Firefox team added Vertical Tabs, Tab Groups, improvements to PiP, PDF editing and so on while still supporting MV2 and uBlock Origin.

They're now working on Split View, customizable keyboard shortcuts and other non-AI stuff. An AI kill switch is coming in the next release.

Scrollbars? One non-AI search learns: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-increase-the-width-of-the-vertical-scroll-bar/m-p/48640.

How to increase the width of the vertical scroll bar?

How to increase the width of the vertical scroll bar on Firefox? It's too annoying to work on this unreachable scroll bar. Can you fix it soon? Else I'll explore other browsers.

@kde It really seems worth supporting, not sure why it would need my home adress though...
