Sage advice for a calmer, more fulfilling digital life | datagubbe.se

www.datagubbe.se/sage

Datagubbe giving good advice in a bullet list. My favorite items are:

  • Disable notfications. I'd recommend to at least turn their sound off.

  • Use smaller software, use less applications.

  • Avoid social media. I'm building one haha.

  • Delete unused accounts.

  • Thank FOSS maintainers. That includes me.

  • Disable blinking cursor.

My least favorite is his recommendation to use laptops less. I myself should use it more, so I don't use the phone. And I don't have a desktop or a place for it.

News from WWDC23: WebKit Features in Safari 17 beta

webkit.org/blog/14205/news-from-wwdc23-webkit-features-in-safari-17-beta

The <model> element will provide a way to easily present 3D content in a web page without any scripting. Just like with <img> and <video>, HTML makes it possible for <model> to work in a robust and simple manner across web browsers on any platform. Model is still undergoing specification and is subject to change, but we expect it will work like this:

<modelsrc="asset/example-3d-model"width="400"height="300"></model>

New WebKit brings easy 3D-models to web.

Making Music Visible: Singing in Sign (Published 2021)

www.nytimes.com/2021/04/09/arts/music/asl-music-deaf-culture.html

A good A.S.L. performance prioritizes dynamics, phrasing and flow. The parameters of sign language — hand shape, movement, location, palm orientation and facial expression — can be combined with elements of visual vernacular, a body of codified gestures, allowing a skilled A.S.L. speaker to engage in the kind of sound painting that composers use to enrich a text.

This article used to be published on AMP, by the way. No longer! Tells a lot about AMP reliability.
