mikae1on Asahi Linux Progress Report: Linux 6.19

And how easy is it to replace an aging battery?

mikae1on Gwtar: A static efficient single-file HTML format

Have you https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/single-file/?

If you really just want the text content you could just save markdown using something like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/llmfeeder/.

mikae1on NewPipe: YouTube client without vertical videos and algorithmic feed

It's a native Android app vs. a bloated multi MB web page. Of course NewPipe and PipePipe are better. :)

mikae1on NewPipe: YouTube client without vertical videos and algorithmic feed

> I use it for a chronological feed of my subscriptions.

YouTube provides RSS feeds. You could use an RSS reader to subscribe to your channels. I do, it's marvellous.

On mobile I use PipePipe for listening to stuff (like presentation videos) in the background and downloading offline audio and video.

mikae1on GLM-OCR – A multimodal OCR model for complex document understanding

Text me back when there's a working PDF to EPUB conversion tool. I've been waiting (and searching for one) long enough. :D

EDIT: https://github.com/overcuriousity/pdf2epub looks interesting.

mikae1on Google Fulfilled ICE Subpoena Demanding Student Journalist Credit Card Number

> they could purge and stop collecting identifying data on Americans.

That's their entire business model though...

mikae1on Antirender: remove the glossy shine on architectural renderings

Edge Function returned a non-2xx status code

mikae1on Two days of oatmeal reduce cholesterol level

Barley is also beta glucane rich and likely has an even greater impact on glucose and insulin levels: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15930484/

mikae1on I added a Bluesky comment section to my blog

I'd love to see a combination of the two as one comment section.

mikae1on JPEG XL Test Page

This...

I would not install non-recommended Firefox addons for things that can be achieved in about:config.

Just do set image.jxl.enabled flag in about:config to true.

mikae1on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe

"Just award them with some stars or points or whatever, and they'll be happy."

I wish these people would wake up and spend their time helping peers on a forum for some open source project instead.

mikae1on The Vietnam government has banned rooted phones from using any banking app

> I wonder if this makes room in the market for some simpler device for payments.

Like a credit card? They've been around for some time.

mikae1on The Vietnam government has banned rooted phones from using any banking app

Tape to pay, that is.

mikae1on Kagi releases alpha version of Orion for Linux

How do you know that? Source is closed. Is a network analyzer enough to determine?

mikae1on Kagi releases alpha version of Orion for Linux

> Webkit on Linux has essentially been relegated to embedded devices or the GNOME epiphany browser

Don't forget about https://falkon.org. It's a browser I enjoy using. WebExtension support will be big if it lands in Orion though.

EDIT: apparently Orion is not open source. Not particularly interested in a closed source browser, TBH. In 2022 they said they plan to open source "when there is merit"[1], whatever that means. No merit yet, it seems.

mikae1on Firefox extension to redirect x.com to xcancel.com

Don't use an extension for every redirect. Use https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/redirector to write redirects for all sites.

mikae1on Tixl: Open-source realtime motion graphics

> it has the potential to become the blender for 2D/3D VFX

Looks truly awesome, but having to use the worst possible closed source OS to run it is a downer.

mikae1on You can make up HTML tags

> And yes, I abuse the slot attribute even when I'm only using CSS, without JS.

In CSS, how do you target <div slot="hero-blurb"> based on the "hero-blurb" slot?

div[slot="hero-blurb"]?

mikae1on Calendar

I prefer this one: https://veckonr.se/kalender/2026

The year is split in two (ample space for notes) and it has week numbers. At work I print the year on two A3.

mikae1on CSS Grid Lanes

I routinely use an 11 year old computer too. I can not see why "userscript hacks" would be needed.

> Maybe sites could check for CSS feature support too? But they seem not to.

Certainly can: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/A...

mikae1on Making Google Sans Flex

Google broke up with RSS in 2013[1]. :D

To be fair, they re-implemented feeds for YouTube and added feed support in Google Workspace the other day[2]. So perhaps there's hope.

mikae1on Qwen3-VL can scan two-hour videos and pinpoint nearly every detail

Hope this on day will be used for auto-tagging all video assets with time codes. The dream of being able to search for running horse and find a clip containing a running horse at 4m42s in one of thousands of clips.

mikae1on What will enter the public domain in 2026?

Are you mistaking William Faulkner's mustache for Hitler's?

mikae1on DeepSeek-v3.2: Pushing the frontier of open large language models [pdf]

Or perhaps a 512GB Mac Studio. 671B Q4 of R1 runs on it.

mikae1on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming

It'd give you Plasma, for one. Even if I'm a proponent of uBlue I'd consider Mint if there was a Plasma version. Seems like a great distro.

mikae1on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming

I'm an https://getaurora.dev user and I agree uBlue is awesome. I'd like to create a custom image too, but it doesn't seem quite as easy as you say: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IxBl11Zmq5w

mikae1on Google Revisits JPEG XL in Chromium After Earlier Removal

The final piece of the JPEG XL puzzle!

mikae1on Disable AI in Firefox

https://startpage.com is a Google proxy instead of a Bing proxy (like DDG).
