The console's system-bricking CMOS issue is no more. Will the PS3 be next?
While it's good that the issue is fixed for PS4 consoles, something more needs to be done. Manufacturers shouldn't be able to make their systems reliant on an online service and then discontinue that service. Forced obsolescence is extremely anti-consumer
A couple of months ago, I started to work on my own webmention receiver. Instead of relying on webmention.io, a service commonly used to receive webmentions, I wanted to challenge myself to create a receiver from scratch. To do so, I realised I would have to read, understand, and interpret a W3C specification, something I had not done up until the point of deciding to work on a webmention receiver. While I knew there would be challenges, I wanted to take control over how I received webmentions and build my own service.
Hopefully, you already received my webmention for this bookmark post and you get another webmention for this update.
Students from the Netherlands will take their new solar ride 3,000 km to Spain.
I'd love to take a road trip in one of these.
Bill would make iOS and Android more open to 3rd-party stores and sideloaded apps.
This seems like exactly what I've wanted for a while. Now we have to wait and see if it makes it into law, and how much of it survives. Then,if it passes, we'll have to wait through years of litigation as both of these behemoths try to implement this in the most consumer-unfriendly way possible to defend their respective monopolies.
Something about a browser that grinds your gears? Share it!
Too true, but I don't think Apple, as a company, cares. I think it's clear that Apple doesn't want to cut into their app store revenue.
I really hope this does well. I'd love a portable gaming machine without having to deal with Nintendo's hamstringing. And running a Linux-based OS is an added bonus
Another awesome release from the Deno team! I really love the emphasis on web compatibility. It's great to hear that they're working on getting displayed on MDN. That'll be really useful and maybe even raise awareness of Deno.
I made a small change to my site, so that bookmarks don't show up in the main feed unless I've commented on them. I tend to bookmark a lot of pages, so this will keep them from clogging up the home page. Plus, it clarifies the difference between bookmarks and boosts/reposts. Now, boosts are posts I don't have anything to add to, but still want to show up on my home page. Bookmarks are pages I want to save for later, but may have something to say about once I read them.
These bills seem very promising. Each bill seems designed to tackle one major issue and they're all scoped to only huge companies. I'll be watching them closely.
IndieForums looks nice. Seems like it might be a good catalyst for some blogchains and hyperconversations. https://indieforums.net Also on:
Yea that looks like a cool site! I hope it catches on, but we also have IndieNews and Indieweb.xyz and those have never really had huge usage.
I wonder if we just don't have a large enough community, yet, to sustain a forum like this. Or maybe showing the replies inline, like IndieForum, is what the other two were missing. That does make it much easier to follow a conversation.
