  A dark pattern scam targeting older folks. Targets invest 20 minutes in a dementia quiz only to find at the end they have to pay for results, while a countdown clock ticks down from 15 minutes until the results expire. Cost appears to be $2 for 7-day access, but fine print is that it auto renews at $40/month… forever. #scams

  UNA is introducing a particularly repairable GPS smart watch. I suspect the success will hinge how fast *software* features get added, like maps and navigation. Because the hardware looks great. https://unawatch.com/ #cycling #running

  I'm a Google Workspace admin, and a team member sent me a screenshot showing that a message they wanted to send was being blocked because it violated an organizational policy-- which was news to me-- I hadn't put in place to block messages based on their content. Turns out Google Workspace now warns by default when the message content mentions gender identity. #google #privacy #politics

  A bank website I designed in 1999 vs the (since merged) bank website today. The original design constraints involved designing for a 640x480 screen size, and a page weight of 100kb. #webdev

  "It's convenience vs principles. And it's not an easy thing to weigh. I live in this world with you and I constantly have to ask myself when interacting with products and services, "can I really say I hold this value if I support this company?" And sometimes the answer is uncomfortable." https://ryanleesipes.me/convenience-vs-principle/

  For running Linux apps on macOS there's now this Wayland compositor that's native to Mac. The demo video features Fuzzel by @dnkl and Niri by @YaLTeR https://youtu.be/VS3vQp5i8YQ?si=u52YycbIYc5458GK Looks like the expected way to use it is to run Linux apps on a remote machine and use "waypipe" to display them natively on macOS. It's novel in that's there's no VM involved. #Linux

  @yy on why urban grocery stores should prioritize bike parking over car parking: - You don't need a car for groceries - Grocery access is an equity issue - Car parking is expensive and subsidizes the rich - We can have 10 more customers park per spot - Induced demand works both ways - Spillover benefits - Built for the future https://yyahn.com/wiki/Bike-parking-at-urban-grocery-stores/ #urbanplanning #bikeTooter #cycling

  JMAP is a newer HTTP and JSON protocol that replaces IMAP, SMTP for sending as well as contact and calendar syncing. This 20 min “Destroy All Monsters” talk on it by @rjbs from @fastmail is both imformative and entertaining. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/3JQKHF-jmap-for-everything/ #email #opensource

  For #Niri and #Hyprland users, if you experienced a flicker when launching Fuzzel with certain decorations or animations, this release may fix it. https://social.treehouse.systems/@dnkl/116166155359103494
