I have no idea what's involved, so this might be the easiest money ever or way under target, but I'll pay a $5,000 bounty to anyone who can claim commit credit for getting this shipped in chromium.
How open source is chromium actually? Can anyone from not-Google get a patch into a new release? I desperately want programmatic live themeing, like "chromium --theme='Cool grey'" for Omarchy. Would pay a bounty!

🔥 Big news for @coolifyio and self-hosters! After 2 years and 400+ v4 releases, we're preparing for a stable release in 2025! However, there's one small problem. I developed version 4 pretty quickly - the first usable release was completed in a month - while I was learning

Over the last year or so we've been working closely with the team at @argmaxinc to improve MacWhisper through WhisperKit. Last week we (finally) released our most requested feature; on-device automatic speaker recognition which is powered by their new SpeakerKit framework.
Introducing SpeakerKit State-of-the-art on-device speaker diarization: - 10 minutes of audio processed in 3 seconds - 10 megabytes in total - 6-year-old devices supported Details and links to the demo app are in the thread.

Proud that I might actually be the reason gradients finally get fixed in Firefox :’)
Firefox is in rough shape. I want it it to be better. For it to get better, we need to be able to accept all the ways it is bad. I posted a video breaking down all of the pain I've felt using Firefox for the past month.

I think the best way to honor Donald Shoup, who just passed away at age 86, is to post 86 days in a row about the ways in which we all pay for "free" parking.

Did you know that last year England started mandating a 10% net gain in biodiversity for all new building projects? Seems like pretty great idea for nature but does anyone know how this has been panning out in projects since then?

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Can anyone in the #Vue #VueJS or #Vite worlds tell me if there's a better way to build multiple web components? Can't use the lib option because then we can't inline dynamic imports with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. #OpenSource
