Well, based on recent events, I'm gonna start releasing my future open source projects as GPLe, where it's copy-left but I reserve the right to extort you if you sell it better than me.

An Abridged History of Safari Showstoppers https://webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/history-of-safari-show-stoppers/ - not the mere niggles, but the absolute cesspit explosions.

The Register: "Apple accused of hoodwinking UK antitrust cops"

Apple claims they aren't being anti-competitive, but there isn't really any plausible deniability for that UI decision, so that might explain why they are trying to pretend it never existed.

Planting perennials is a lifeline for pollinators.

Today, the rosemary is hosting skippers, metallic green bees, leafcutter bees, and honey bees.

“The number of women in Texas who died while pregnant, during labor or soon after childbirth skyrocketed following the state’s 2021 ban on abortion care — far outpacing a slower rise in maternal mortality across the nation, a new investigation of federal public health data finds.

From 2019 to 2022, the rate of maternal mortality cases in Texas rose by 56%, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period”

This is an incredibly important piece by @rgadellaa; it digs deep and outlines why the multiplicative effects of an unbelievable litany of showstopping WebKit bugs combines with Apple's prohibition on iOA browser choice to single-handedly destroy an interoperable competitor to the App Store. Every regulator needs to read it:

Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) is an unusual type of memory. It is fast and can store data for decades without power. I opened up a FRAM chip to reveal the tiny cubes of PZT, the ferroelectric material that holds the bits.

TFW you look for a song from 2007, go to youtube to find a link to pass to others, see results that say "14 years ago", and you think, "Well, it can't be those. That's too far back." And then you remember.

Heard this song on my run this morning from some radio program, or maybe podcast, I've never heard of and isn't listed on the radio station's schedule. Anyway, this song is what got me thinking of songs about work, but it took me a while to track it down based on what little I could remember. Amerie's "Gotta Work":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA3n-KUe3j0

(I've listened to the song, but I haven't watched the video. So CW for unknown content that passes YouTube's low bar of available to the general public.)

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

The easiest way to start developing film at home is C-41.

Today, I'm publishing my completely rewritten guide for colour-negative film development, it's now better than ever:

https://www.analog.cafe/r/developing-colour-film-as-an-absolute-beginner-n3q4

The guide includes a complete shopping list, and the entire process, from mixing the chemicals to scanning and archiving the film. Plus 10 pro tips.

Dare I say, it may be the best of its kind on the internet!
