On the weekend we discovered that the only English language DVD we own that we hadn't already seen was "Deja Vu".

We've had it for years, but we were both sure we'd already seen it.

Amazon raised the $9.99 ceiling for full royalty on ebooks to $12.99.

If it had kept up with inflation since the Kindle's 2007 launch, that ceiling would be $16.16. They're still squeezing authors.

So no, my newer tech books still won't be on Amazon KDP.

If you're bilingual, do you think with...

Unsplash’s Quietly Brilliant Stance on AI 🚫

"In an increasingly AI-dominated stock photography world, let’s take a moment to celebrate Unsplash.

Their strictly no AI policy demonstrates incredibly strong content values. They didn’t follow suit. Nor did they surrender to the bullshit. They stood by their vision and mission. There’s a lot to be said for that these days."

The junit-framework repository now has an official mirror on @Codeberg and is open for contributions!

👉 https://codeberg.org/junit-team/junit-framework

To support Codeberg's mission of providing a free and open source collaboration platform, JUnit has joined Codeberg e.V. as a member.

They explicitly stated we need a senior on their job application. I sent resume.
I have explicitly mentioned I'm a junior developer. They invited to interview.

Let's see where this goes...

You didn't ask for my opinion, but I am going to voice it anyway.

Close your eyes. Imagine a big field, consisting of beautiful green grass.

Now picture twenty two players - eleven on both ends. A ball is kicked onto the field.

Then, twenty of those players (one lazy player on each end) are running towards the ball like utter mad dogs, kicking it as far away as they can...

Only to run towards it and kick it in the opposite reaction. This completely deluded scenario is being repeated for no less than ninety minutes. Sometimes even longer.

Now, that is how I think of football and especially watching this so-called "sport".

I am officially announcing that Pride Month has now been extended to August 31st due to rising backlash by the right wing and other similar political views.

Enjoy the Pride Months!

(Yes, I am taking this seriously.)

All "privacy oriented" commercial VPNs are honeypots.

You can't change my mind on that.

Mullvad VPN has heavy marketing in Washington DC (their ads are plastered all across the metro stops frequented by government workers and foreign diplomats) for example.

The whole "you need to hide something? here we'll hide it for you! Everyone that wants to hide something should put is all in this one consolidated place!"

But they totally won't look at it.

They swear.

No logs, bro. I promise. I can look, but I won't. I could log, but I won't.

So while Mullvad the company is showing their ass, asking what other VPN to hop to begs the question: Why are you using a commercial VPN?

If it's to change your IP address to bypass porn restrictions in fundamentalist theocratic states, then cool. That's a solid use case.

If it's for a nebulous reason like "for privacy" or "for security". Then you might want to see if that tool actually meets your specific threat modeling.

So I'm wondering if it's something just for me or Tusky doesn't enable you to quote?

It's really good to know that Javadoc finally catches up. Of course there will be full support for the new Rich Note tags on our site. Having a standard for this, will make handling admonitions much easier and less error-prone!

There is a JEP pending to bring admonitions to Javadoc!
https://openjdk.org/jeps/8363700
(They call it "notes" though, but it's effectively the admonition concept as known from tools like Sphinx or AsciiDoc.)
APIdia found its own solution for admonitions in Javadoc some years earlier:

#java #javadoc #apidia #jvm

APIdia » 🌐 2025-12-01
@APIdia@mastodon.social

Did you know that #APIdia supports admonitions like known from AsciiDoc or Sphinx?
Since #Javadoc lacks admonition tags, a couple of typical HTML patterns is recognized and rendered as proper admonition boxes. See the screenshot for an example (https://apidia.net/java/OpenJDK/?pck=javax.swing&cls=.JComponent).

The most common pattern is
<strong>Warning:</strong>text until next<p>
as is shown in the example. Instead of <strong>, also <em>, <b> and <i> are recognized, colon is optional, so
<i>Note</i>text<p>
is also fine.
