So... not many people will be surprised, #Google has done it again, it has crossed a big red line this time.
They already made it so that using their "share" feature from Chrome browser in Android would introduce their own tracking link, betraying unsuspecting users. That in itself was infuriating, but at least we had an escape hatch, we could copy the web page URL and share that directly.... until now.
It is no longer possible to copy URLs from the browser's URL bar (in Android systems). They have reached an entire new level of perversity and anti-user behaviour.
At this rate, they will manage to kill the #www for good at some point, something else will have to emerge.

Slowly, but without pause, our #FLOSS slicer for resin #3dPrinting is starting to take shape :) .
https://codeberg.org/SoulCrafted/Slicer
However, we are not alone, there are other people trying to bring new open source solutions to this space.
In a few days the #OpenResinAlliance ( https://openresin.org/ ) will release a first early access version to their backers on April 1st (no joke), and an open beta on on May 1st.
They started long before we typed our first line of code. So far, from what I saw, they are bringing something awesome to the table.
I hope we'll find ways to collaborate.

It's not like I'm entirely surprised by this https://openai.com/index/openai-to-acquire-astral/
But I find it quite sad. These mega-corporations are trying to own all our stack... we should find ways to build community alternatives to avoid falling into their trap...
But first we should learn our lessons about what constitutes good software. PIP has never been good, that's why `uv`, `ruff` and `ty` are an interesting purchase for #OpenAI. That's the kind of software that we should be building as a community.

I'm reading Kurt Vonnegut's "Galapagos".
This is a novel from **1985**... and, while it's not "great", I'd still recommend it for anyone living this current time, plus, it's kinda funny.
It manages to:
- describe AI techno-bros as what they are: self-centred assholes.
- (shallowly) describe incels before those were a concept in our collective imagination.
- (very subtly) establish a clear connection between all those self-proclaimed "apolitical" people and... nazis. -

If you are into #3dPrinting and use resin printers (as opposed to the more well known FDM ones, using filament), you might be interested in this campaign trying to develop a #slicer application for resin printers:
https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/soulcrafted-slicer-5006
I don't know this field in depth, but I've been told by some practitioners that the dominant providers of slicer software for resin printers are taking advantage of their privileged position and feeding user's 3d designs into training AI models... so a strong open source alternative might be needed.

I'm looking for "alpha testers" for an alternative forge ( based on #Forgejo )
Public registration is closed (for now), but we can create accounts if anyone wants one, or open registrations temporarily.
It will remain free for #floss projects, likely paid for private projects (although we are providing the service for free for a while, until we do an official launch).
Once/If we start having paid customers, we'll donate part of that income to the upstream Forgejo project.
This forge is 100% hosted in #Europe, and operated & maintained by a very small workers-owned #coop .
P.S.: Yep, we know about the great Codeberg :) .

Well, it turns out that someone very smart gave us definitive proof that #Asus firmware & drivers programmers are not doing a good job.
After seeing this, their dismissiveness towards people complaining now feels a bit more outrageous than before (it has been more than 3 years for some).
Without experience, it's hard to follow the analysis, but there are some easy to understand takes:
1. They force sleeps from 25 to 100ms... in interrupt handlers.
2. They use interrupt handlers as improvised timers/schedulers (re-triggering interruptions from within interruption handling contexts). -
I'm not sure if this is going to make a difference ( https://rslstandard.org/ )...
It's not like current #LLMs weren't able to read #licenses or terms & conditions before when these were not formalized in a "machine-readable" way (plus, besides licenses we already had the robots.txt declarative files; even if those were not as expressive as this new proposal).
So, is this extra work for web developers and maintainers? Are we going to operate under the new assumption that if we didn't do the work of implementing this then we are granting permission to scrapper bots to steal all our online creations?
Or can this be a net gain for creators in some specific way?

In Europe and other regions we have laws mandating that electronic devices must be properly labelled with information about their energy consumption and some other externalities...
We should demand equivalent or at least similar measures for commercially distributed software, same for cloud services.
It would be a fun experience for us, software devs, being forced to acknowledge how terribly bad is the software we create.
We should be held accountable.

#Regalo #libros técnicos, preferiblement en #Osona / #Vic , pero los pueblos de #Catalunya alrededor de la R3 hasta #Barcelona también los considero (no tengo coche y no quiero tener que enviar paquetes).
La editorial cometió algunos errores y tengo duplicados. Los que regalo:
- Math for Security
- The Shape of Data
- Statistics Done Wrong
- The Rust Programming Language (2021 Edition)A poder ser prefiero donar a quien por lo general no pueda permitirse muchos lujos, por motivos de equidad.

I have a relatively new #ASUS ProArt13 laptop where I still have a #Microsoft #Windows installation so I can keep upgrading its firmware (I planned removing it once I have a stable #Linux distro with kernel >= 6.14).
I'm surprised by how unstable it is. Just leaving it doing nothing for more than 10 minutes is enough to trigger a #BlueScreenOfDeath (I can reproduce the issue). If I keep doing stuff, it does not crash.
At this point I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's fault or ASUS'... but I suspect the blame falls on Windows side (nothing like that happens on my Linux installation).

Looking for advice on how to refactor legacy #JavaScript #frontend code (My expertise is on backend).
I know how to write relatively clean JS / #TypeScript for frontend in modern setups with modern tooling, but I'm not sure how to proceed with thousands-of-lines long files that are directly included as they are, so I can transition to having smaller & cleaner files and using static analysis tools that give me some peace of mind.
My only achievement so far with my current project is that I run #BiomeJS on some selected files.
I'm relying on #JSDoc for now, but "for my eyes only", I'm not using this typing information to validate anything.

I'm thinking about creating an #opensource competitor of #Freescout , but using #NodeJS and #TypeScript as core technologies.
For the past 4 months I've been working as a contractor on a private fork of FreeScout and I can say this: it is a horrible piece of software. It fails at every possible level: maintainability, performance, availability, data consistency, data integrity, many other security aspects... and it bewilders me that so many people are using it, and _recommending_ it.
That said, this kind of software is not "interesting" nor "attractive" _per se_ (although it can be made interesting if enough love is put into it), and I know I'd need external incentives to keep working on something like that. That's why it should be commercially viable, or at least "socially viable".
What does that mean? That I'd be happy if anyone felt any interest on the idea and wanted to work on something like that, this is no project to do alone.
I'm not really expecting anyone to be interested on something like this, but feel free to ping me in case I'm wrong :) .

A new post on how to create a React components library, although focusing on the aspects of publishing dual libraries (CJS+ESM) with types: https://blog.coderspirit.xyz/blog/2023/09/15/create-a-react-component-lib/

As far as I can see, #WebComponents and #WebWorkers are not enough.
The 1st allows us to execute JS in an isolated environment, but it has no access to the DOM (not even a "scoped" or shadow DOM).
The 2nd gives us a shadow DOM, but it does not prevent code to touch the rest of the DOM.
