  1. I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display via Ben Holmen [Shared]

    Six years ago I had an idea to build a large, inefficient display with a web interface that anyone could interact with. I've enjoyed Danny Rozin's unconvenional mirrors over the years and was inspired by an eInk movie player that played at 24 frames per hour that got me thinking about a laborious display that could slowly assemble an image.

    I landed on the idea of a 40×25 pixel grid of pixels, turned one by one by a single mechanism. Compared to our modern displays with millions of pixels changing 60 times a second, a wooden display that changes a single pixel 10 times a minute is an incredibly inefficient way to create an image. Conveniently, 40×25 = 1,000 pixels, leading to the name Kilopixel...

  9. Quick Tech Tips: Consent-O-Matic will Autofill Cookie Consent Banners for you

    The Problem
    You know how it is. Nowadays seemingly every website has one of these Cookie Consent Banners.
    Often dark patterns are used to tire or trick you into giving away your data. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a tool that could handle it all for us?

    The Solution
    Introducing "
    Consent-O-Matic", a browser extension which autofills cookie consent banners. It essentially takes the approach of using a click bot to automatically fill the forms in for you based on your own preferences.

    In contrast with "
    I still don't care about cookies'" brute force approach of blocking or alternatively accepting if it can't block.

    Not all banners will be blocked but it should remove a significant portion. It certainly has improved my browsing experience.

    How do I install it?
    Recommended: Consent-O-Matic | Firefox | Chromium | Safari | Source Code |
    Alternatively: I still don't care about cookies | 
    Firefox | Chromium | Edge | Source Code

    Further Reading
    There is no EU cookie banner law - A short digestible read on why websites are using these banners in the first place.

  12. Framework laptops look incredible.
    This insight into how well they, and the team behind them, react when things go wrong from @pluralistic is a reminder that their commitment to making laptops good for the USER again is solid.

    My current 7th Gen i5 HP laptop is still working very well, I’m not replacing it any time soon, but when I do finally need a new #laptop it will absolutely be a Framework one.
