I propose banning all advertising as an energy saving measure

Yup, because you can put lipstick, powder and paint on it all you want, at the end of the day, every frickin' web "app" you create is nothing more than an HTML document. And screen readers have been made to struggle with this perversion of the web for 15 years or so now.

Oh, I'm so... surprised 😒

"Outdated vs. Complete: In defense of apps that don’t need updates" by Vivian Qu https://vivqu.com/blog/2022/09/25/outdated-apps/

Yet another reason I now prefer to build for the web rather than for walled gardens. I had some apps for Android that were "complete" but have been removed from the store because I didn't update them.

This week we released GNOME 43 “Guadalajara”! 🥳 To find out more, and to see what else happened this week, you should check out the latest issue of #ThisWeekInGNOME!

Is Google Analytics illegal?

Yes, said Austrian, French and Italian Data Protection Authorities and today the Danish DPA agreed! 🇩🇰

Exciting times to be a European, privacy-first web analytics project 🇪🇺

Mein großer Wunsch: Ab heute muss endgültig Schluss sein mit den Debatten über anlasslose Vorratsdatenspeicherungen. Wie oft sollen denn die maßgeblichen Gerichte noch ein Stopp-Signal setzen? Stattdessen: Instrumente stärken, die wirklich helfen, ob idealerweise präventiv oder wenigstens bei der Strafverfolgung, ohne dabei die Grundrechte auch nur irgendwie in Frage zu stellen #Vorratsdatenscpeicherung #EUGH

Mullvad creates a hardware company!

https://mullvad.net/blog/2022/9/19/mullvad-creates-a-hardware-company/

It's official- the studio I work for is shuttering in a month.

If you need or know someone who needs either:

- A Unity/C# Generalist

- A programmer with a background in music / audio technology

- An Art Hacker with gallery / museum experience

for paid work, I would deeply appreciate the connection

Boosts much appreciated.

Weil die @HumboldtUni nicht verraten wollte, wie viel sie für Zoom bezahlte, haben wir sie verklagt – mit Erfolg! Wieso gehen die 90.000 Euro an einen US-Konzern, der den Datenschutz nicht besonders ernst nimmt, statt in die eigene digitale Infrastruktur? https://fragdenstaat.de/blog/2022/09/16/humboldt-uni-muss-zahlungen-an-zoom-offenlegen/

For the rest of us, we're losing a VC-subsidised, cheap as chips, innovation-floating-on-a-tide-of-cash free ride.

Which was, y'know, bound to happen. VCs gotta VC. If you want sustainable tools, avoid the VC funded stuff. Wait until their innovations percolate down the ladder. Maybe add some more Free/open source software into your app mix. Support the smaller players because they're the ones that tend to stick around.

“A new collaboration with Adobe”

So, let’s hope that as far as you’re concerned, Figma is feature-complete, because that’s them done in terms of long term innovation https://www.figma.com/blog/a-new-collaboration-with-adobe/

Bin aber immer noch begeistert davon, was “Nero Burning ROM” für ein cleverer Produktname war! Fun Fact: die Muttergesellschaft der Nero AG heißt Agrippina International SàrL… nach Agrippina der Jüngeren, die Mutter von Kaiser Nero.
