Minifying AND gzipping only really makes sense for large payloads. The real world impact of minification on sensible JS payloads is minimal

Great news! While Trump is busy dismantling the Library of Congress, the German National Library of Science and Technology (@tibhannover) is preparing for more to come: they've downloaded the entire 10 TB of the arXiv preprint server and safeguarded more than 2.6 million scientific articles. Thank you so much! This was especially needed since, last year, the arXiv decided to shut down its mirror network.

El mejor vídeo que he visto de Star Wars últimamente 😂😂😂

Bos dias fediverso. Frank Cuesta ha subido a su canal un vídeo reconociendo que ha mentido en todo, que ni es veterinario, ni herpetólogo, ni tiene cáncer, que todos los animales son comprados, etc. Si queréis perder aún más la fe en la humanidad os podéis pasar por los comentarios de ese vídeo que son un auténtico festival de gente diciendo "ah, ya entendí, ES SARCASMO, muy bueno Frank estamos contigo" pese a que el propio Cuesta ha fijado un comentario que dice, literalmente, que el vídeo no es sarcasmo.

🇮🇱Esta es la lista de los grandes festivales españoles de música que controla el fondo proisraelí KKR.

🎵Eventos como Sónar, Viña Rock o Resurrection Fest dependen de un fondo internacional que expande su negocio con la promoción inmobiliaria en territorios palestinos ocupados ilegalmente y la creación de centros de datos para las grandes tecnológicas.

Un total de 25 sociedades médico-científicas llegan tarde anunciando lo que algunos llevamos décadas diciendo.

Pero ea. Al menos mueven ficha.

Google is fighting Nextcloud by harming our Android app. Nextcloud now has less functionality than Google Drive. This is clear anti competitive behavior. https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/13/nextcloud_play_store_complaint/ https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-android-file-upload-issue-google/

If you had said even 5 years ago that I would be doing this, I would have thought you'd be crazy, or having a laugh.

But at @cyd flashes up old tweets, ancient blog shares as being deleted it's... strangely satisfying.

Pues por lo visto Facebook rastreaba cuando les adolescentes borraban selfies para mostrarles después anuncios de belleza. Luego que por qué andamos regular de autoestima. Ha tocado esta distopía. Yo, personalmente, prefería los zombies.

The Open Web Index (OWI) 🇪🇺 is a European-based initiative designed to foster a competitive digital infrastructure that aligns with European values and promotes independence from US-centered search engines.

This project is a significant step towards ensuring digital sovereignty and stimulate innovation within the European digital landscape.

It aims to provide an open alternative to proprietary search indexes, thereby reducing the over-reliance on a few dominant vendors that currently control the search engine market. 🔍

By doing so, it seeks to democratize access to information and ensure that the digital ecosystem remains diverse, competitive, and aligned with European standards and regulations.

The initiative is structured around several key steps, as illustrated in the image below. By visiting the page and clicking on the image, you can read more about each step associated with each phase:

Another lawsuit settlement has struck Google. This time, the company is now liable for one of the largest payouts from a state-level consumer data protection legislation in the United States.

Google has agreed to pay Texas more than $1.37 billion to resolve two lawsuits involving its use of location data, biometrics and its Incognito search engine.

The payout far outstrips any other state settlements against the tech giant to date on claims involving data privacy.

Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Google in 2022, alleging the company illegally tracked and collected users’ private data, including their location, their voiceprints and faces and their searches in Incognito mode. The latter has been the subject of other lawsuits claiming the special search engine does not deliver the privacy it promises.

“In Texas, Big Tech is not above the law,” Paxton said in a statement, which accused Google of “secretly” tracking Texans’ data.

“This $1.375 billion settlement is a major win for Texans’ privacy and tells companies that they will pay for abusing our trust.”

A Google spokesperson noted that the settlement reached on Friday does not mandate new product changes and said the company has already made policy fixes which address the issues at the heart of the lawsuit.

The settlement also includes no admission of wrongdoing by Google, the spokesperson said.

Does this fix anything? Not really. Since Google has already changed much of its privacy policies since the original 2022 lawsuit, this settlement seems reactive at best.

For those confused by the China tariff news:

• Trump caved and got zero in return
• No manufacturing moved back to the USA
• 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans
• 90 day pause still causes uncertainty
• Trump lost all negotiating leverage
- Matt McDermott

I've read two different news articles about a lower tariff deal with China and neither one of them bothered to mention what the tariffs were prior to all this horseshit.

The US media is hot garbage.
