KDE “30 for 30” challenge Dan Lyke / comment 0
KDE contributor Farid inspired us to take on the “30 for 30” challenge: for our 30th birthday, we are asking you to do something to help the environment and make the planet a nicer place to live in. Farid is planting 30 trees and we want you to come up with something similar.
Film you and your crew carrying out your effort and we will promote your project on social media.
Here are some more ideas:
- Rescue 30 computers (or more!) from ending up in a landfill
- Upcycle 30 phones with a free mobile operating system
- Clean up 30 hectares of woodland
- Convert 30 people to a free operating system
- Take 30 techbros to court so they stop building AI datacenters
Via.

University of British Columbia: Are you addicted to your AI chatbot? It might be by design
AI chatbots can grant almost any request—a celebrity in love with you, a research assistant, a book character sprung to life—instantly and with little effort. New research presented at the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems suggests that this genie-like quality is fuelling AI addiction, and that chatbot design could be partly to blame.

Matt's Script Archive is precedent Dan Lyke / comment 0
that genehack guy from that dead bird site @extremely.website
Current status: wondering what percentage of my GenAI skeptisim is grounded in having lived thru the Matt’s Script Archive phase of the “this lets everybody code” era.

Wow So this weekend at North Bay Dan Lyke / comment 0
Wow. So this weekend at North Bay Python, the Apify folks were doing a "try out our API, win something". I'd had a glass of wine, so I fired up my phone, did a few queries to enter myself in the raffle, and carried on.
I'm not sure what I did that's ongoing, but just got the "you hit your $100 intro bonus API cost" email.
So clearly there was something I didn't understand. Another entry in the "I'm scared of cloud billing" bucket.

<br> handling. Dan Lyke / comment 2
After years and years of tolerating it, I finally fixed an issue with how the Flutterby formatter handles <br> tags. Actually, not so much how it handles it as with how modern browsers handle </br> tags.
Anyway, in the process I willy-nilly changed the doctype. Holler if you see anything stupid, or if I regressed utf-8 handling again, or something.
