|
||
|
|
<p>Ignore the pretentious title for a second and check the animations.
|
||
|
|
"Reinvented" may be a bit too much, but you have to give it to Apple for
|
||
|
|
coming with something actually different for cursor.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing comes to Linux in a few years.</p>

<p>I'm sort-of part of the organization of the next PythonBrasil (the Brazilian

it. Lots of tips on how to properly organize an event.</p>

<h1 id="how-to-fix-the-broken-web-as-a-site-owner-and-web-developer"><a href="https://markosaric.com/broken-web/">How to fix the broken web as a site owner and web developer</a></h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>I won't lie that the cynical in me reads this and thinks "This is cute".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sure, explaining how to make a good, GDPR and privacy compliant site is
|
||
|
|
possible, but we can't ignore the problem of "Why?" You put some tracking code
|
||
|
|
and boom, information about the source of searches, where people visiting your
|
||
|
|
website are coming from, how long they stay in the site; and then you put
|
||
|
|
another tracking code and boom, those clicks become money (very little, but
|
||
|
|
hey, it's money, nonetheless); and then you put 30 of those tracking codes and
|
||
|
|
boom, lots of little money coming in.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The only way to remove make people with websites to remove those is to kill
|
||
|
|
the incentives; telling them "that's not nice" won't prevent anything.</p>

<h1 id="we-are-complicit-in-our-employer-s-deeds"><a href="https://drewdevault.com/2020/05/05/We-are-complicit-in-our-employers-deeds.html">We are complicit in our employer's deeds</a></h1>
|

|
|
<p>I disagree with Drew in a lot of points -- specially on things that I like he
|
||
|
|
doesn't, and probably 'cause I talk the same things about the things I don't
|
||
|
|
like -- but I have to agree with this: We are. If we work for a company that
|
||
|
|
does something "morally wrong", even if that's not illegal, then we are
|
||
|
|
complicity with it. It doesn't matter if you take care of some "customer
|
||
|
|
support" group and the company does collect information from a lot of people
|
||
|
|
and, thus, you're not working on this bad thing, so you're good. As Drew puts,
|
||
|
|
you're using the "Nuremberg Defense" (basically, "I'm just following orders).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Bonus points: The post is actually Drew's thoughts on Tim Brays post about him
|
||
|
|
leaving Amazon due the firing of people complaining about the COVID-19 actions
|
||
|
|
of the company. Tim was working on the Tech side of Amazon and was not related
|
||
|
|
to the warehouse control and still he left the company.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Of course, Tim has enough political power to quit the company and write a
|
||
|
|
letter saying "The company I just left was doing something morally wrong" and
|
||
|
|
not suffer any huge consequences -- I bet if I pointed some morally debatable
|
||
|
|
things some of the companies I previously work for I'd be sued out of the
|
||
|
|
pants I'm wearing but I have to ask this: Do we want to live in a world were
|
||
|
|
pointing wrong stuff is punishable?</p>

<p>A directory of tips on how to delete your account on several different
|
||
|
|
websites. If you're unsure about the privacy measures one site takes with your
|
||
|
|
data and you're worried about what they can use to it (and remember, some
|
||
|
|
still collect information about you even if you don't access them directly
|
||
|
|
anymore), and you can't actually figure out how to delete your account
|
||
|
|
(Facebook is notorious about this), here's your chance to remove that account.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Languages generating static binaries are all in rage these days and Rust is
|
||
|
|
one of those. But actually, there is a lot that can be done to reduce the
|
||
|
|
binary size without losing all the safety measures the compiler takes when
|
||
|
|
generating said binary.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And while you may not be creating GStreamer plugins, a lot discussed here can
|
||
|
|
be used for any binaries.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>One of those things that seem so obvious that you have to wonder "Why I didn't
|
||
|
|
think about this before?"</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>We heard about the tales of <a href="https://time.com/5717401/microsoft-4-day-workweek/">Microsoft Japan reducing the working
|
||
|
|
days and keeping productivity</a>
|
||
|
|
and now we have this virus floating around that's moving people to work from
|
||
|
|
home and then someone actually made the connection and suggested that we could
|
||
|
|
put both together and just reopen things using this 4 day thingy.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Honestly, it sounds good 'cause I <em>can</em> work from home. How that would affect
|
||
|
|
people that can't is something that needs to be checked.</p>
