Bee leaving flower. July 2023
I can understand not supporting old devices in perpetuity, but on top of having discontinued the ability to side-loading content via USB? Amazon's messaging is pretty clear, in a hostile capitalism kind of way.

✍️ New post: Lazy and Prompt
The story of Chrome 148 could have been about @…’s amazing lazy loading for video and audio 👏 – until Google decided to shove the Prompt API down our throats.

I played the #Marathon "server slam" for exactly twenty five minutes. i.e. as long as it took to finish the tutorial mission. I never tried loading into a real mission. Why?
I couldn't figure out what the fuck I was supposed to be doing nearly all the time; and I couldn't READ THE TEXT; icons were too similar; the color choices, while aesthetically pleasing, made some shit reall…
It bothers me WAY more than it should that websites feel slower today than they did 10 years ago. Everything else related to loading a web page is faster, but the software has become worse and worse.
@… There are mitigations. For systems where algif_aead is a loadable module like Ubuntu (by default). Something like this prevents the vulnerable algif_aead module from loading:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf'
Then unload the module if it is currently loaded, like so:

Bilder machen bei vielen Shops über 50 % des Seitengewichts aus – und werden kaum optimiert. 🖼️
Dateiname "IMG_4832.jpg" sagt Google nichts. Alt-Text fehlt. Format ist JPEG statt WebP. Lazy Loading? Fehlanzeige.
Dabei ist Bilder-SEO low-hanging fruit: Beschreibende Dateinamen, Alt-Text mit Kontext, WebP mit Fallback, Lazy Loading ab Bild 2. Kostet einen Nachmittag, spart Ladezeit und bringt Traffic über die Bildersuche.

Well, okay (after libxapian.so.30 was thrown out of the window and GoldenDict-ng got completely crippled)
It felt like it needed to compile the entire Qt5 framework, but at the end, all is well and working
* I had to change all instances of GoldenDict-ng to GoldenDict in my scripts for them to start working again
** Dictionary re-indexing was not an issue, as I normally disable "Allow full-text search for:"
I laughed out loud when we came across the car with this license plate. 😄
Then my wife asked me why I was laughing. :loading:

Bagmuck
I'm going to put this here, for now and maybe develop it further.
As a student I worked on a market garden which also had a small line in agricultural supplies. Every so often we had the job of loading bags of inorganic fertiliser onto lorries or trailers. The word used for it was bagmuck.
I think bagmuck captures rather well what this is. It's a substitute for muck, dung, manure, that comes in a bag. From ICI in those days.
Bagmuck /contd.
Just published a small enhancement and bugfix release for the #Webmention for #Craft CMS plugin.
It adds two important details though: lazy loading and alt text support for avatar images. 😎
«Firefox Has Quietly Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine:
Back in March, Firefox 149 was released with many changes, like a free built-in VPN, a Split View that allows the loading of two pages side by side, and the XDG portal file picker as the new default on Linux.»
…or/and use and config the @… plugin for more security and privacy in Firefox.…
"An ad blocker is preventing this page from loading."
No, my #adblocker is preventing your #ADs from loading. The fact that the REST of your page refuses to load if the ads dont load, well that sounds like a YOU problem.
What did digikey just do to their website none of the filters on the search page are loading.
like i can see products but the list of filters is just a blank gray rectangle.
Come on, your site 5 years ago was perfect and there was literally no reason to change the UI. Stop making it worse.

I have a habbit of making (too) many (small) packages for functionality that might be reused in different context. {box} might be an alternative by making scripts into modlues that can be loaded: #RStats
So, decided to wash my favourite pillow. Sigh.
I was feeling caffeine deprived but not foxy when this snow squall hit but I figured "other people will believe in me if even if I don't" (like my hero Peter Parker!) and sure enough I ran into these two between the Rhodes Hall loading dock and the 7-11; maybe the last time this year I went out in my winter phase

Changed the hosting on my site and also changed the registrar for the domain, and it seems it is loading alright.
(It is just a simple text-only page right now. Someday I may make it look cooler and/or be bigger.)

Actually the brown car was me 5 years ago, now I just park in the back of the lot. No congestion, The extra steps are good for me.
Oh wow. I guess it's "lazy and smart" in a way (and only gives you three attempts at loading, then 401)

I helped out at the Family Bike Ride this morning in Cambridge/Boston. Turns out probably the most helpful think I did, was to load all the cones onto the trailer on my bike, and haul them to the organizer's home -- for him, it is two trips, for me, just one (though it was darn heavy, but I have e-assist on that bike, and in a pinch, legs).
