Seems good for channels whose videos I really don't want to miss, since my sub box is more of an endless pile of stuff to watch, much like my fedi follows. Should probably start curating my feeds a bit more.

Seems like it's finally starting to happen, Firefox is adding WebGPU to its next update on Windows: https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2025/07/15/shipping-webgpu-on-windows-in-firefox-141/
This could open the door for way more ambitious webgames and experiences, but it's still a ways off from being supported by every browser on every platform. Maybe in a few years...

Migration to Fastly Object Storage is ongoing. Transferring 50TiB of data takes a really long time, and Fastly didn't get me the new contract until near the end of the month. I'm buying a new cheap VPS specifically to do the transfer on a dedicated pipe, it's been sharing with the US ingest server.
Please pitch in to keep Jortage afloat (and my wife and I fed)!!

tante@tldr.nettime.org"Whatever" is a brilliant essay on "AI" by @eevee:
"But I think the core of what pisses me off is that selling this magic machine requires selling the idea that doing things is worthless. Because if doing something has some value, then it must be somehow better than pushing a button and receiving Whatever for essentially no cost."

In a lot of countries, when you publish a book there is a state archive which by law (Pflichtexemplarrecht in countries with legal code based on the BGB) will receive at least one copy of that book for permanent safekeeping and making accessible to the rest of the world because culture is incredibly important. Books in that sense are a media which is incredibly hard to de-publish and that's good.
Anyway this is a post about streaming services delisting shows/movies because of greed.

not to pontificate too much but: the ethos that people should be empowered to solve their own problems together by freely associating into short- or long-lived collaborations is the foundation of free software. it also works. modern computing does not happen without self-directed volunteers working together to make it happen. we have 30+ years of evidence at this point.
the roc package was broken in the AUR. i didn't need anyone's permission to fix it. the original maintainer made me co-maintainer. i merged my changes into the original package. i do not know this person, we'll probably never meet, but we collaborated and Arch Linux is better for it. computing is kept afloat by a million interactions like this.
and like... this is anarchism. if anyone asks or is confused as to what it is, this is it. with 200+ years of theory about how to think about it and manage problems and scale etc but this is The Thing as far as i can tell. people solving problems together without coercion or central coordination.
committed anarchists make the leap of observing the effectiveness and morality of this kind of organizing and ask how to scale it to other aspects of society, to all aspects. and there are answers to those questions. but it feels like a big deal to me that modern computing in large part is made possible by a kind of informal anarchist organizing.
a persistent frustration of mine is free software people struggling to make the bridge between the two, and i blame anti-left american propaganda and a limited western educational systems...

neonFinally got around to setting up a slog for my zpool, and despite widespread warnings around the internet that it would not affect performance, it appears to have made Akkoma and Kanboard respond much quicker.
Or it’s a placebo, but I’ll take it.

neonUpgraded my dual-booting laptop’s just-in-case-I-need-it install of Windows 10 to Windows 11, and despite my suspicions, it appears to have done so without messing up the rest of the computer! I suppose backing up everything carefully worked like taking an umbrella to ensure the day stays sunny…
Windows stays losing though, it’s surprisingly sluggish and slow to boot and shutdown compared to Arch with SDDM and Plasma.
