Sound UI

www.makeworld.space/garden/Computers/Sound UI.html

I think sound is a dramatically underutilized way to communicate with the user in modern software tools. Using sound for a notification is just annoying, but using other properties (pitch, timbre, length, etc) or producing varying drone sounds across time presents new ways to passively inform users of things. A classic example of this is fan sounds alerting users that their computer is under heavy load, and perhaps something is going wrong. As modern fans get quieter, computer programs should offer similar interfaces to provide all kinds of information.

I'm forking Ladybird and stepping down as SerenityOS BDFL

awesomekling.substack.com/p/forking-ladybird-and-stepping-down-serenityos

Ladybird the browser now targets Linux and Mac only. This is somewhat sad but I welcome this change. Now I can finally try Ladybird for real. I wonder what will happen to SerenityOS though.

bjesus/eyeroll

github.com/bjesus/eyeroll

Eyeroll is a WebExtension for Firefox that let's you scroll webpages by blinking your eyes. Close your right eye to scroll down, and your left eye to scroll up. It's great for scrolling chords without leaving your instrument, or reading the news while you're brushing your teeth! Eyeroll works 100% on your device and works on Firefox for Android too.

Doing Things That Scale – Space and Meaning

blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2020/01/17/doing-things-that-scale

Tobias told us about his past with a very elaborate riced Arch Linux config. Now he's a GNOME developer, who knows that it's better to contribute a better icon to the app than to update an icon theme; to use fish instead of zsh with a big config; etc. In general, invest time into things that scale.

I like his little remark towards the static site. I dislike his little remark towards self-hosting, although I see where he's coming from.
