DX.
Why did it take me so long to think of DX instead of trying to say "you know, UX but for library APIs"
Now I can just say: Hey FontConfig, you have terrible DX!
(I have long pushed on the idea that design is a required skill for programming *code*, not just GUIs or even CLIs, but the code itself should be designed too)
There’s a new camera app that you’ll just love! Here’s the FAQ for SnatchCam.
Sounds crazy, right? The content you created being held hostage by the tool you used to create it — who’d agree to such a thing?

I’m looking for anyone in my circles who:
• is a front-end web developer
• has some design sense
• understands the allure of buying a Linux computer
• is open to paid work
A Linux computer company reached out asking if I was available for paid work on their website and while I would love to, I’m just not able to find the time right now. But they’re a great company and I would love to connect them with someone!

#FOSS is so key to effective digital transformation.
`vet` is a CLI tool that acts as a safety net for the common but risky `curl | bash` command. It lets you inspect remote scripts for changes, run them through a linter, and require your explicit approval before they can execute on your developer or production machine.
#Resonarium:
An expressive, semi-modular, and comprehensive physical modeling/waveguide synthesizer.
Resonarium is still in development. The primary focus at present is stability and performance. Use at your own risk, and expect bugs or crashes.

Fra 16. juli til 23. juli blev BornHack festivalen afholdt for tiende år i træk med fokus på teknologi og sikkerhed. BornHack er åben for alle, varer syv dage og er bygget op som en teltlejr ude i en skov på Fyn.
Formålet er, at deltagerne netværker, lærer om nye teknologier, debatterer om digital sikkerhed og får ny brugbar viden med hjem. Logistikken er på plads - der er styr på strømforsyning og netforbindelse kombineret med en helt særlig wibe med stor tolerance og plads til diversitet. Ud af de ca. 500 deltagere er omkring halvdelen fra Danmark og resten fra andre europæiske lande. Tobias @fonsmark fra Semaphor har været med fra begyndelsen i 2016 sammen med de oprindelige initiativtagere til BornHack.
“Indholdet på BornHack med den kritiske tilgang til digital sikkerhed er mere aktuelt end nogensinde og matcher Semaphors udgangspunkt. Af samme grund er Semaphor dobbeltsponsor for BornHack – dels med Jitsi hosting, men også som kontantsponsor. Semaphor er endvidere involveret i planlægningsarbejdet omkring BornHacks workshops og paneldebatter. I år er der eksempelvis en spændende paneldebat om aktuelle sikkerhedsmæssige emner”, fortæller Tobias Fonsmark.
I paneldebatten, som Tobias Fonsmark er medarrangør af, deltog Camilla Gregersen fra Data Etisk Råd, Karen Melchior, tidligere medlem af Europaparlamentet, Poul-Henning Kamp, FreeBSD udvikler samt Henrik Kramselund, Internet networker og sikkerhedskonsulent. Journalist Anders Kjærulff fungerede som moderator for debatten, der omhandlede:
𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯å𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐦 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 i al krypteret kommunikation, hvor man fra EUs side ønsker at scanne alle beskeder for CSAM før kryptering - direkte på folks egne telefoner. Forslaget har vakt stor opsigt og bekymring i privacy-kredse og er blevet udsat flere gange.
𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯 𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟ø𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐩å 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐫 for at tvinge techgiganterne Facebook/instagram og TIKTOK til at holde helt unge brugere ude. I følge digitaliseringsministeren skal det ske med en app, som er klar i 2026. Denne app skal også være borgernes digitale wallet, som potentielt kan indeholde alt fra pas, bankoplysninger og sundhedsdata. Appen forventes at virke på Apple og Android devices sammen med Windows og OSX.
