i recently watched a great talk about how NTFS isn't as bad as it's made out to be, and while i appreciate the host's patience with microsoft and hesitation to jump on the "this is bad because it's not how unix-likes do it" bandwagon...
i have to wonder, if you can get such a massive speedup by spawning another thread whose sole purpose is to close file handles... it kind of feels like a "you're holding it wrong" moment. like, why does the obvious way (open file, write, close) have such a massive performance penalty? why should tar (and rsync, and 7zip, and...) have to have a windows exclusive feature where it spins up a handle closing thread when every other system tar runs on doesn't need it? why does otherwise single-threaded software need to do this?
Apple's Response to iPhone 4 Antenna Problem: You're Holding It Wrong
There’s an old joke about a man who visits a doctor, complaining that his arm hurts whenever he moves it a certain way. The doctor’s response? “Stop moving it that way.Dylan Tweney (WIRED)
correct on the first part. however, if i'm understanding the talk correctly, other platforms allow the close call to go through immediately, and then the kernel takes over the work of making sure all that stuff happens while the process continues on to its next file operation
Tomorrow evening (tuesday 6th, 22:00 CET) local upper-austrian radio station Radio FRO will be airing a #faircamp special, created and hosted by @fadimat. Expect two hours of music exclusively from the faircamp universe (!! (╯✧▽✧)╯), and a brief appearance of mine as a guest on the show. Don't forget your universal translators, the talking bits will be in german. 😀

My @Mastodon mug made it back unscathed from #fosdem2024!

Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.
Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.
Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

I'm really grateful for @aumouvantsillage's Sozi project. It's a fun way to make creative presentations with nothing but open source and open standards. sozi.baierouge.fr/
I haven't used it in years, but am back in action prepping for my #GovernableSpaces talks.
Today at #Fosdem2024 I had the opportunity to get my #Mastodon official mug

In my fanboy moment I shared with him my deep gratitude for saving my digital life from the evil corps that were dominating the public discourse until the rise of the #fediverse.

"Write code for the web" by Manav Rathi mrmr.io/apple
This is from an iOS developer, but as an Android developer, I came to basically the same conclusion 10 years ago. The web isn't perfect, but it's a near-universal platform not owned by anybody.
Personally, I got tired of Google's constant breaking changes with every Android version, and all the hoops I had to jump through just to keep my apps listed. Whereas whatever garbage I put on the web 20 years ago still works today.
An investment in learning the web (even dumb stuff like document.all or document.write) still pays dividends decades later. Whereas all my old Android API knowledge is just gone, like tears in the rain.

Tokens: The Future of Money in the Age of the Platform (gang gang mmm ice cream so good)
I spoke to Rachel O'Dwyer about her new book Tokens about the history of tokens, how tokens are both more and less than money, and the way tokens have been for social control.
We also talk about the affordances of tokens and some advice for those designing tokens.

Hilfe | Friendica: Probleme beim Folgen eines anderen Friendica Accounts
Hallo Zusammen, ich habe das Problem das ich wenn ich von meinem Friendica Account @Raven 🏴 (social.aghd.org/profile/raven) dem Friendica Account @Sascha 😎 🏴 (loma.ml/profile/sascha) zu folgen folgende Meldung bekomme:
Von @Sascha 😎 🏴 kann ich dem Account @Raven 🏴 ebenfalls nicht folgen. Auffällig ist dabei das dessen Profilbild nicht korrekt angezeigt wird und auch die aktuellen Beiträge nicht
Versuche ich den Account dann zu folgen kommt folgendes:
Nach einigen Tests scheint das Problem vor allen im Zusammenspiel von loma.ml und social.aghd.org zu liegen.
Wo könnte das Problem liegen?

For all those who wanted to see the conversation about anticolonial tech at #transmediale which was cancelled due to political pressure on cultural institutions preventing raising issues on the war on Gaza: vado.li/anticolonialtech
The situation is still somehow unclear in detail, and the most disturbing thing for me is how people and organisations are worn down through the continuous scandalization by the press, and how the massive pressure of the Strike Germany initiative really is not helping.
Update: the Berlin Senate apparently trashed the law in question (which is technically not even a law) before it was even approved.
Leather remains a fashion staple, but its environmental and ethical impact has led to the rise of sustainable alternatives. Cactus leather, pioneered by Desserto, offers a plant-based, cruelty-free option. Let's delve into what cactus leather is, how it's made, its sustainability, and where to find fashion items made from this innovative material.
