@Techaltar I like some design decision on Spotify's video player, e.g. that the progress bar is not near the bottom, which makes it otherwise prone to accidental jumps on an Android tablet.

However, otherwise it is a bit annoying to watch, esp. id one wants to switch between desktop/mobile since Spotify enforces a single playable source.

@promovicz it's the simplest general model. the framing that a turing machine's purpose is to transform the tape is completely fucked. that's not the point at all. the point is that you have mutable state, some of which you can set aside, and other sections that can grow freely. the restrictive nature of the single tape works specifically for problems that work like implicit graph traversals. you can and should add on whatever else you want. a stack or two is always a good idea (although two stacks is really more useful for things that do parse strings)

Preserve a Public Noblogs Site

Public movement history should not disappear because a server, provider or domain does.

If you run a Noblogs site, save two different things:

A WordPress export containing the material needed to rebuild the site.

A static mirror showing the public site as readers actually saw it.

If you administer the site
Open `YOURBLOG.noblogs.org/wp-admin` and sign in.
In the dashboard, select Tools → Export.
Select All content, then press Download Export File.
Rename the downloaded file `blogname-export-YYYY-MM-DD.xml`.

Install the free, open-source program HTTrack.
Open HTTrack and select Next or New Project.
Give the project your blog’s name and choose where the backup should be stored.
Select Add URL, paste the complete public homepage address, then select Next → Finish.

When the download finishes, choose Browse Mirrored Website. Open several posts, archive pages, images and downloadable files to make sure they work.

Put the WordPress XML file and the entire HTTrack project folder inside one clearly dated folder. Keep one copy on your computer and another on a separate drive or trusted location.

The XML export does not preserve the site’s appearance. The HTTrack mirror is not a replacement for the WordPress export. Keep both.

If you are preserving someone else’s public site

For an important individual page:
Open the public page and copy its complete URL.
Go to Internet Archive: Save Page Now.
Paste the URL and press Save Page.
Open the archived result and confirm that it works.

Install the free, open-source SingleFile browser extension.
Return to the original public page, wait for it to finish loading, click the SingleFile icon and save the resulting `.html` file.

For a whole public site, follow the HTTrack instructions above using the public homepage. Do not sign in, enter passwords or attempt to reach private pages.

Record the page title, author or collective, original URL, publication date and the date you saved it. Internet Archive is an additional copy, not your only copy. Submitting a homepage does not guarantee that the Archive captured every linked page.

Finally, test the local backup with Wi-Fi turned off. Open its `index.html`, click through several pages, and make sure images and documents load.
Preserve public material only. Do not bypass logins, collect private data or republish material that could expose people. Respect authorship, context and removal requests.

An export is not a mirror. A mirror is not enough. Keep both. Keep two copies.

It is absolutely bizarre that people who insist on driving everywhere also insist that other people should have to pay for their parking.

If you drive, parking is your problem.

Personally, I think there will eventually be tolls on *local roads* as cities grapple w/ inadequate tax revenue to support maintaining all those paved streets. Some streets will simply no longer be paved, esp outlying subdivisions. The funds just aren't there anymore.

Watch their heads explode then.

Since we are collectively experiencing the brittleness of the domain name system, and the fact that the root DNS records are owned by shitty companies: its a good time to install `quien` which is "A better whois and domain intelligence toolkit"

Re-boosting this now that xAI is being taken to court by victims whose images have been used for training and they've got proof they're keeping them in their training set.

This isn't just Grok, it's just the worst of them because they decided it was OK to have pedophiles for customers.

This is all image generators. No wonder they don't disclose what's in their training sets. They don't care how many times they're going to re-victimize a survivor as long as they can profit from it.

Nuée de cigognes migratrices au-dessus de #Lavelanet en #Ariège. Un majestueux ballet silencieux au-dessus d'un supermarché et d'une station essence.

Voir les clients, tout embarrassés de leurs courses, s'arrêter pour regarder et filmer.

Observer une cigogne planer à quelques mètres du sol comme pour mieux se rendre compte de ces créatures verticales cachées derrière leurs smartphones.

Spectacle annuel fin août sur la route de leur migration.

The Psion 3 and especially Series 5 were just incredible engineering for the time. EPOC OS was so efficient and the design of the computer had such a premium look.

I was more of a fan of the 3 than the 5. The keyboard on the 5 was nicer but I felt the move to the touchscreen felt a bit of a sideways step: EPOC16 felt really nice with just a keyboard. And the battery life was much worse.

Symbian EKA2 was a beautiful kernel architecture, but didn't make it into any Psion products.

I love Windows CE though, so, I am just happy that this tiny Netbook exists.

I think you might be the first person I've heard say anything positive about Wince (and I liked Windows Phone!). What did you like about it.

sauf que oups, ça marche pas.
