If one of you nerds in northern Germany or maybe southern Denmark wants a HUGE touchscreen for 300 bucks, there's a working Samsung SUR40 (aka Microsoft Pixelsense) for sale in Lower Saxony: https://www.ebay.de/itm/158218959099
Hit me up if you want to install Linux, I wrote the kernel driver for the touchscreen 😁
(beware: pickup only, it's 37 kg and nearly impossible to carry alone, I know this from firsthand experience 😖)

New publication! 🎉💻
My first paper in computer science is out: *Retrocomputing as a Model for Sustainable and Cognitive Computing*.
I explore what low-resource computing can teach us about computational minimalism, attention and sustainable design. 🧠🌱

@lmk Thanks for your comment! Very simple: Security breaks when usability is not considered. See PGP encryption, where even experts still have challenges in setting it up securely.
A positive example is Let's Encrypt: Easy to set up, huge impact on making the Web secure. So yes, it's possible!
Maybe it helps to start with a small change first. Even this may make an impact on users. This website has some science-backed resources to start: https://usecured.das.uni-giessen.de/en/

With industrial policy back in fashion worldwide, the question is not whether governments should intervene — they already do— but how they should proceed when they do not know in advance what will work. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/14/world/south-korea-industrial-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #southkorea #leejaemyung #semiconductors #ai #robotics #northkorea #us #hci #japan #samsungelectronics #skhynix #china

Your Turn: What's your biggest usability challenge in security? Looking forward to read your thoughts!

[BLOG] We often talk about cyber security, but rarely about how people actually perceive it.
At my Cyber Horizon Keynote, I showed how Usable Security improves user acceptance, maintains strong security, and reduces costs.
Here's how it works: https://www.stephanwiefling.de/2026/08/12/usable-security-keynote.html

Again, I don't want to work on this, I want to work on my game. I did install Cambalache though.
I'm sure trying to make a suitable GUI will cure my brain of wanting to make this git GUI.

Anyone know a GUI layout design app for something I can work with from C, or Go, or Python? Or am I doing this in Godot? I think there's something for GTK?
Note that I don't *want* to do this, but I do want to use the tool. Also, every time I go to make a GUI tool I get pissed off at the state of GUI development and give up.

I was just thinking about OS interface metaphor. The computer is the desk. The keyboard and other peripherals are the stationary. The screen in the desktop. So what goes on a desktop?
On a desktop OS it's always been files. On a mobile, apps. But what might be more useful - on desktop but maybe on mobile too - would be *projects*. So clicking on icon can open a set of projects files, and whatever apps they were last opened with.

Какую роль должен играть ИИ в психологической помощи? Разбор трёхлетнего исследования Индианского университета
За последние два года появилось больше AI‑сервисов для психологической помощи, чем за предыдущие десять. Одни обещают заменить психотерапевта, другие предлагают круглосуточную эмоциональную поддержку, третьи позиционируются как AI‑коучи или AI‑компаньоны. Но почти никто не отвечает на вопрос, который возникает ещё до выбора модели и написания первой строки кода: какую роль вообще должен играть ИИ в психологической помощи? Мы довольно много обсуждаем размер контекста, качество генерации, стоимость инференса и способы удержания пользователя и заметно реже обсуждаем, где именно в процессе помощи система имеет право находиться, а где не имеет. Что показало исследование

You’ll research how technology can “listen” to how athletes feel - not just what sensors measure - building interpretable ML models that combine subjective experience with physiological/biomechanical data.

Will there ever be a viable alternative for computer input? Voice control is out of the question for several reasons: it looks ridiculous in public, it’s easily intercepted, and it frequently fails to accurately transcribe spoken words.
