Firefox 130 is bringing a game-changing feature: automatic alt-text generation for images using a fully private on-device AI model! 🙌🏾

Initially available in the built-in PDF editor, our aim is to extend this to general browsing for screen reader users. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2024/05/experimenting-with-local-alt-text-generation-in-firefox-nightly/

"no politics" is the perfect non sequitur

e.g. whacks the croissant off your breakfast plate "i said NO POLITICS!"

makes you wonder what this is about. is it because the croissant is french? does this relate to the french not wanting to co-invade iraq in 2003? or is it because the croissant looks both like two dicks and the horns of satan, and thus promotes homosexuality? or is it due to the flagrant use of butter in the recipe, alluding to Jim Field Smith’s butter-carving satire Butter?

gonna publish two nice big 600 page hardcover tomes, one titled "politics", the other "no politics" and they are both just filled with noise textures

still can't get over that github ticket. you say the words "gender neutral" and all hell breaks loose. douche dev mumbles something about "no politics" because all he does between his porn sessions is to get lit and hang out on /b/. he gets milkshake ducked, kids create github accounts just to grandstand to him, and then the incel clowncar rolls up, the doors open, and out bounces an unholy conga line of death cultists ready to storm the capitol again. is it 2015? do we still do this?

This week at Config I gave a talk about pixel fonts that I think turned out really well.

It’s called “In defense of an old pixel,” and I don’t think I ever worked harder on a talk before. Check it out here! (25 minutes)

Hiya! I'm a programmer looking for full-time work in the SF Bay Area (or remote!)
I'm primarily a Python dev, but I've got significant experience in Java, C#, C++/C, Ruby, and JS.

I've focused a lot on Continuous Integration in recent years but I've got experience with in-house tool development, embedded software, back-end server stuff, and UI/Web/HIL test automation.
I've a lot of experience in digitization/archival work.

My resume & email:

Apple M1 (Honeykrisp) driver achieves Vulkan 1.3 conformance

Introducing Honeykrisp: the world's first conformant Vulkan® 1.3 driver for Apple Silicon.

AsahiLinux OP ,

Please note that Honeykrisp is still under heavy development and not ready for end users yet, nor are we shipping it at this time.

It is conformant, and that is a major milestone and demonstrates what is possible (and, importantly, what is possible when you write a native Vulkan driver instead of relying on less-than-ideal vendor Metal drivers on macOS as a base), but there is still plenty of improvement and optimization and feature work to be done before we can recommend using this for games. Please use wined3d and the OpenGL driver for the time being. Once we consider it ready for production workloads, we will ship it in our packages.

A friend just pointed out:

"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

Let’s do this.

The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

@mupuf @purpleidea @mjg59 @RnDanger @bigolewannabe IIRC Netflix goes up to 720p, which all things considered would make sandboxed L3 strictly better than breaking the law to play a DVD.

It's silly if you think about it, but so is the entire state of DRM.

Ha! The Discord GDPR/Data Export thing reveals that it's running models to figure out what gender you are. If you go to /activity/analytics/events-*.json and grep for predicted_gender you get something like:

<span class="st">{</span>
  <span class="st">"user_id"</span><span class="op">:</span> <span class="st">"282657081457115136"</span><span class="op">,</span>

Anyway, they seem to have this datapoint over time! Meaning you can make a graph of how male/female/NB you are according to discord, here is mine:

Was trying to print an iPhone photo, but couldn’t find a way to scale it down in the iOS print menu (I don’t want a full 8.5x11” page of color ink). @kde to the rescue! KDE Connect sent the photo to my desktop and Gwenview got the print settings just right.

Is the fabled year of the Linux desktop already upon us?
