@stefan Here is my recommendation: https://loganmetz.bandcamp.com/track/sunrise
What a fantastic talk by @cwebber about the importance of building open, decentralized, and secure technologies. It is about empowering ourselves.
@anildash This resonates so strongly with me. I find with so many new technologies (AI, blockchains, prediction markets), people on one side declare them as evil bullshit, and people on the other side over-hype them to try to quickly make loads of money off of people. And I always find myself in a middle ground that they are cool technologies, how can we deploy them in ways that empower people, rather than extract and harm to enrich a few.
@signalapp Please support Linux so we can lower dependence on Apple and their control of our privacy. We've been asking for Linux Arm builds in the Signal CI pipeline for years but it just isn't being prioritized or responded to. E.g. discussion here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/560dcb91d98ba1177162372a2837919225e3e2c9#commitcomment-176220509
@r I think @craftyguy was asking about something like this recently
🌟 Project Release Announcement Time! 🎉
I wrote a WebUSB extension for Firefox.
This lets web pages access USB devices (with your permission). This has long been supported by Chrome, but Mozilla has not wanted it, at least by default. Fortunately, because add-ons are a thing (for now. make sure to keep fighting for this!), it's possible to change that!
Common reasons for wanting this include programming microcontrollers, 3d-printers, smartphone bootloaders, and similar "physical computing" projects.
This works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
You can get the source code here: https://github.com/ArcaneNibble/awawausb
In order to make this work, you will need to install a small program on your computer. This is explained in the README. You can then install the .xpi file (on the GitHub Releases page) into your browser (which was _just_ auto-approved while I was typing this announcement up).
Please boost (if you want), test, report bugs, etc. etc. (although do keep in mind that this code is entirely written by a single catgirl)
i think this is the perfect type of project to drop late on a sunday / very early on a monday?
