My talk today at HTW Berlin for World Usability Day 2019 just finished, and the people seemed to like it.

Slides here: https://naii.io/wud2019 (German)

The Ethical Design Manifesto by @indie / @aral and @laura was an essential part of it since this is my contribution to spreading the word and raising awareness :)

And one attendee literally said it was the highlight of his day.

Super grateful to have experienced that, and yes I was on a little high afterwards *yippieeee*

New version of Site.js with live reload, build in progress… ;)

Did you know the Site.js binaries for Linux (x64), macOS, Windows 10 and ARM (armv6l & armv7l – read: Raspberry Pi and more – are all built on a Raspberry Pi 3B+?

I wrote an article about best practices (including travel tips) for PureBoot, @purism 's #FOSS tamper-evident boot firmware that allows the user to control all of the keys and secrets used for the signing process. Check it out here: https://puri.sm/posts/pureboot-best-practices/

Reminder that Blade Runner happens next month

Side-by-side:

Librem 5 Dev Kit & Librem 5 "Aspen" batch.

In that case, you won't mind if I identify you as a fascist and a sexual predator, then.

Hello. This weekend I'm going to update this instance to Mastodon v3.0.0... There are a lot of changes, some are breaking too, so take a look at the changelog:

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.0.0

The most important, I thinks, is that OStatus support has been removed.

Side note, if you don't know what ncdu is, look it up because I guarantee that you will need it someday

Getting vaccinated against brands. "M̷̱̈́͝c̶̰̓̂D̵̢̖̓͝ǒ̵̡̭͝n̸̨̉ǎ̷̝͒l̶̝̈d̸͉̟́ș̷͙̒" the doctor asks? I shrug, the sounds not lining up in my head. In my stomach I feel un-hunger.

PSA:

I do this every so often but just wanted to give a shout out to my favorite RSS reader software, Miniflux. Set it up for the umpteenth time recently and its always exactly what I need.

semi-regular reminder: the #Firefox and Chrome add-on Bypass Paywalls lets you easily get past the article-hiding nag screens on numerous major media websites, even WSJ

both mozilla and google rudely delisted it from their add-on sites so you have to get it from the author's github:

I just submitted the first release of Contrast to Flathub! It's a beautifully designed app to check the contrast ratio between two colors made with GTK & Rust by the GNOME Design Tooling team.🎉🥳
