As Ambient Intelligence weaves computing into everyday life, human existence has become inextricably linked to ubiquitous digital infrastructures, triggering a crisis of personal data sovereignty. Driven by extractivism and data colonialism, platforms exploit human experience as a terra nullius, enclosing proprietary user models within isolated silos. We argue that legal frameworks like the EU Digital Rights and GDPR fail to counter this power a... Read more ›
“YOU’RE SO boring, do you f*** your wife the same way?” is the most caustic putdown Roy Keane levelled at Carlos Queiroz. The much-missed Manchester United fanzine Red Issue revealed that tidbit 15 years ago. Keane then confirmed he had used such language in his 2014 autobiography, only he uncharacteristically omitted the swear words. Queiroz,... Read more ›
Very cool, never thought of that! "way smaller" is almost an understatement, when it's 50kb :P Neat that it loads in GitHub READMEs as well, which is probably a large reason people use .gif today. Read more ›
Jennifer Lopez just said the quiet part out loud. In a new interview, she listed the Hollywood stars she’d sleep with, admitted she misses “toxic obsessive love,” and credited her dad with healing her after the Ben Affleck split. Pause on that middle one. A 56-year-old woman, four marriages in, looks into a camera and... Read more ›

2026 has been getting much better! Mostly from a mental health perspective. I've come to truly believe that it's not the circumstances but how you react to them that matters. In that sense, what I'm saying is: "things" aren't going better, they weren't that bad to begin with. I'm mentoring someone in Google Summer of Code ! I've done it twice before, both times for Kiwix . It's going well so far, my student is really easy going and fun to work with. I really have truly embraced vibe coding , ... Read more ›

Switching from Obsidian-first drafting to Claude-first drafting nearly doubled my usable words per 90-minute block: from ~420 to ~780. That number surprised me. The failure mode surprised me more. For the first six weeks I drafted in Obsidian — vault, MOCs, Templater scripts, the whole setup. The graph view is genuinely beautiful. It's also a distraction engine when you need 800 words out before a client call. I logged every block with Toggl and checked output against a plain Notion table. My... Read more ›

The smartphone era won’t last forever, and the tech industry is spending billions to own whatever comes next. Artificial intelligence (AI) has sharpened that ambition, giving new momentum to an old dream: ambient computing that delivers information through a lens rather than a screen. On Tuesday (June 16), Snap unveiled its SPECS augmented reality […] The post appeared first on <a href=" Read more ›

OK maybe it's probably just me but, I often want to "Like" other peoples blog posts after I read them and find something I enjoyed. For me, it is a simple way of saying: "hey I read this" and also "hey I like your post"! In the indieweb/smol-web this … Read more ›

Of all the artists that emerged from the freak folk/New Weird America boom of the early noughties, Colorado-born Josephine Foster is one of the most enduring, and certainly one of the most interesting. Besides the obvious – her startling voice, opera trained but as wild as the hills – constant reinvention and inspired collaboration have […] Read more ›

Realizing scalable Quantum-to-the-Home (QTTH) faces a bottleneck: link asymmetry in broadcast continuous-variable quantum access networks (CV-QANs) hinders the selection of a globally optimal modulation variance. We demonstrate a downstream broadcast CV-QAN connecting a Quantum Line Terminal (QLT) to multiple Quantum Network Units (QNUs) over commercial fiber. Operating within a trusted local network domain, we establish a multi-user utility mod... Read more ›
