Between the MetaVerse not panning out on top of buying more AI companies that don't need to exist, the writing has been on the wall.
Meta is reportedly planning to cut up to 20 percent of its staff in upcoming layoffs

DESCRIPTION - "Today we look at Plasma 6.6 on Neon and see the new features they advertised. After much manual intervention I was able to get many of them working. The system worked, but why does it need so much intervention to enable advertised features?"

🗨️ 👩🏽💻 Furthermore, the role of #digital tools, #algorithms, and #AI in war-promoting political rhetoric must be investigated -
Sacrificing #children and the #environment for this purpose is not collateral damage; it must be punished by the global #society -
#data must be analyzed, and #research and #science must also act in accordance with #humanrights and #ethics
Wars should be a relic, not progress!

#Instagram will #discontinue #endtoendencryption for #directmessages after 8 May 2026, allowing Meta to access private messages. The change, which will likely raise #privacy concerns, may be linked to efforts to combat illegal material on the platform. https://www.androidpolice.com/instagram-is-getting-rid-of-end-to-end-encryption-for-dms/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
Last week I promised I'd write up the messy process of setting up Isso comments for my blog, so here it is! Covered the whole process from design (and why I didn't use AWS) to hosting to config.
My hope is that this is also helpful to someone who wants to get started with self (managed) hosting but doesn't know where to start. 🙂

I used to be a graphics software and game reviewer for Dutch magazines.
Here's an article I wrote about 3D software in January 2004, including ZBrush version 1.5.
Back then, ZBrush was still an odd, experimental "2.5D" mix between a paint program and 3D editor. 🙂

Schermtijd | Dat ik wil minderen met mijn telefoon maakt me nog niet verslaafd
In de rubriek Schermtijd schrijft techverslaggever Rutger Otto wekelijks over het internet. Deze week buigt hij zich over de vraag: wanneer ben je verslaafd aan je telefoon?

Elementary OS shows my connected headphone battery percentage alongside my laptop battery. This is very useful as I can use it to check my headphone battery percentage.

Digg's short-lived reboot is on pause, and a sizeable proportion of staff is being laid off, but the story isn't over. Founder Kevin Rose sold the company in 2012 but repurchased it, alongside Alexis Ohanian, in 2025, relaunching it in open beta in January 2026 as "the front page of the internet, now with superpowers." However, it was pulled from the app store today, with CEO Justin Mezzell citing the "brutal reality of finding product fit" and an "unprecedented bot problem." What now? Rose will return to Digg full time to figure out next steps. Here's @Sarahp's story for @Techcrunch.
Instagram is getting rid of end-to-end encrypted messages after May 8, 2026, arguing that people barely used the feature, which is not enabled by default and only available in some areas. Here's more from @Engadget.

Kupno sluchawek #SONY #WH1000XM6 to (jednak 😉 ) byla jedna z najlepszych decyzji zakupowych ostatnich miesiecy:
- jakosc dzwieku jest rewelacyjna, szczegolnie pod #Linux.em, ktory obsluguje #LDAC 😉 pewnie 5. generacja tez by dobrze wypadla, w kazdym razie... sztos
- ladowanie akumulatora jest blyskawiczne - kilkanascie minut i masz ekstra kilka godzin dzialania
- moj najwiekszy pierwotny zarzut, czyli wygoda - sluchawki sie "ulezaly", uszy juz mnie nie bola, a...
- odkad je mam slucham muzyki w domu czesciej na nich niz przez glosniki - przyjemniej mi sie np. robi cos w kuchni kiedy faktycznie slysze muzyke niz jej "pozostalosci" dolatujace z drugiego pokoju
- @mrk to Ty pisales o potencjalnych problemach z lamaniem sie zawiasow? poki co nic takiego nie stwierdzilem, moze za malo je jeszcze eksploatowalem, ale juz lecialy ze mna samolotem w torbie podroznej i nic im sie nie stalo ;)
