Go to GiveButter.com/mogaza to support a disabled teen and his family! 

Two generous donors have offered to do matching donations for Mohammed Hammad and his family for up to a total of $3,000 if people contribute $3k to his give butter by May 15! Truly double your contribution

One of the donors already got us started with $1k just because they are so confident we will meet the goal, so that means we are only $8k away from him being able to register his whole family for evacuation. Even though the border is currently closed, registration is still open. I follow a telegram channel with real time updates about the border, and the updates are hopeful that the border will open again soon. 

Even if the border were not to open back up, anyone who is fundraising for evacuations still gets their money, and it would just go towards the high survival costs that just get higher everyday!

We hope to be able to get him to meet his goal ASAP so that he can register as soon as the border opens again. If we meet this goal from the matching donors, then we will only be $3k away! 

Mohammed told us a while ago that his Give Butter needs $50k for him to be able to evacuate along with his mother and 5 younger siblings. The amount is more than we thought initially because of the high commissions  that the merchants who control the cash flow take out. Moha says that where he is, the commission is 50%. You can read more about this in my post titled “can people in Gah-zah receive money?”

Check out Mohammed’s updates and stay connected with him at @moh.2090727 on IG

BBC press release:

BBC News Burmese launches on direct-to-home video channel in the aftermath of Myanmar earthquake

24 April 2025

To ensure audiences can access crucial information in the aftermath of the Myanmar earthquake, the BBC World Service has added a direct-to-home satellite video channel to the platforms delivering BBC News Burmese content.

In the coming four months, the Thaicom 6 satellite, which covers Myanmar, Thailand, and the wider region, will deliver BBC News Burmese TV and audio programming. The channel will also provide access, via a QR code, to the service's website, bbc.com/burmese. …

In the aftermath of the disaster that struck Myanmar on 28 March 2025, millions in the country, as well as Burmese-speakers in Thailand, came to the service's platforms for accurate updates and analysis. BBC News Burmese journalists were deployed to the earthquake epicentre and were reporting from Mandalay, Yangon, and Bangkok, as well as from London. BBC News Burmese extended its daily live radio bulletin from 15min to 30min to include additional reporting and lifeline information. Audiences can also watch the Monday to Friday 15-minute TV bulletin which goes on air at 20.45 local time.

BBC News Burmese channel on Thaicom 6 satellite will run all this programming, with evening repeats of radio and TV bulletins from May 2025. The channel will also visualise the QR code for the website bbc.com/burmese, so the viewers can access the latest news and information online.

Over the next few months, the direct-to-home satellite video channel – formerly used by VOA – will add to BBC News Burmese availability via the service's website as well as its YouTube channel and its Facebook page which has a following of 25m people. BBC News Burmese also connects with audiences via Instagram, Telegram and X. Digital free-to-air TV channel, Mizzima TV, rebroadcasts BBC News Burmese TV programmes.

BBC News Burmese is part of the BBC World Service.

From Phys.org:

New atomic fountain clock joins elite group that keeps the world on time

by Rich Press National Institute of Standards and Technology April 28, 2025

Clocks on Earth are ticking a bit more regularly thanks to NIST-F4, a new atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus in Boulder, Colorado.

This month, NIST researchers published an article in Metrologia establishing NIST-F4 as one of the world's most accurate timekeepers. NIST has also submitted the clock for acceptance as a primary frequency standard by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the body that oversees the world's time.

NIST-F4 measures an unchanging frequency in the heart of cesium atoms, the internationally agreed-upon basis for defining the second since 1967. The clock is based on a "fountain" design that represents the gold standard of accuracy in timekeeping. NIST-F4 ticks at such a steady rate that if it had started running 100 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed, it would be off by less than a second today.

By joining a small group of similarly elite timepieces run by just 10 countries around the world, NIST-F4 makes the foundation of global time more stable and secure. At the same time, it is helping to steer the clocks NIST uses to keep official U.S. time. Distributed via radio and the internet, official U.S. time is critical for telecommunications and transportation systems, financial trading platforms, data center operations and more.

NIST-F4 has improved time signals that are "used literally billions of times each day for everything from setting clocks and watches to ensuring the accurate time stamping of hundreds of billions of dollars of electronic financial transactions," said Liz Donley, chief of the Time and Frequency Division at NIST.

A special kind of clock

Cesium fountain clocks such as NIST-F4 are a type of atomic clock—a complex, high-precision device that extracts timing pulses from atoms. These clocks play a critical role in our globally connected society: They serve as "primary frequency standards" that work together to calibrate Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC (an agreed-upon system for keeping time using data from atomic clocks around the world, known as a time scale).

National measurement labs such as NIST produce and distribute versions of UTC using their own time scales; NIST's version, for example, is known as UTC(NIST). Those national time scales are then used to synchronize the clocks and networks we rely on in our daily lives.

In fountain clocks, a cloud of thousands of cesium atoms is first cooled to near absolute zero using lasers. Then, a pair of laser beams toss the atoms gently upward, after which they fall under their own weight.

During their journey, the atoms pass twice through a small chamber full of microwave radiation. The first time, as the atoms are on their way up, the microwaves put the atoms into a quantum state that cycles in time at a special frequency known as the cesium resonant frequency—an unchanging constant set by the laws of nature.

About one second later, as the atoms fall back down, a second interaction between the microwaves and the atoms reveals how close the clock's microwave frequency is to the atoms' natural resonant frequency. This measurement is used to tune the microwave frequency toward the atomic resonance frequency.

A detector then counts 9,192,631,770 wave cycles of the fine-tuned microwaves. The time it takes to count those cycles defines the official international second.

(That may change as early as 2030, when nations plan to consider redefining the second in terms of one or more different atomic elements used in so-called optical clocks that can measure time even more precisely than fountain clocks can. Even after that, cesium fountain clocks will still play an important, though diminished, role in timekeeping.)

Mai 2024

Immer offene Browsertabs, der späte Beginn einer Chronik (XI)

Im letzten Update dieser Chronik im August 2023 hatte ich nach über zwei Jahren mit dem Firefox-Plugin “Tree Style Tab” knapp 70 Tabs offen. Jetzt sind es zwischen 200 (wenn ich gute Vorsätze gefasst und aufgeräumt habe) und 300 (wenn nicht). "Die meisten davon dienen als Erinnerung an noch nicht vollständig umgesetzte Pläne oder Projekte" schrieb ich im letzten Update, und das ist immer noch so, "oder es sind lange Texte, die ich irgendwann noch weiterlesen will". Letzteres mache ich inzwischen nicht mehr, aus Tab-Sparsamkeit und weil ich eingesehen habe, dass ich doch nie weiterlese.

"Die immer offenen Tabs stehen in dieser linken Spalte ganz oben", schrieb ich im letzten Update, beziehungsweise vorher "ganz links", als sie noch am oberen Bildschirmrand angeordnet waren. Das stimmt im Prinzip immer noch, nur sind jetzt so viele Tabs geöffnet, dass ich weit nach unten scrollen muss, um zu Dingen zu gelangen, die ich täglich brauche.

Von oben nach unten:

Das Google Spreadsheet mit dem Gemeinschaftstagebuch (seit April 2020)

Ein Tag-Baum bestehend aus einem Libby-Tab (deshalb), einem Goodreads-Tab und zwei Storygraph-Tabs. Goodreads und Storygraph brauche ich sowieso täglich, um dort gelesene Bücher einzutragen, außerdem befinde ich mich in einem (stagnierenden) Projekt zur manuellen Ergänzung meiner Anfang 2024 nicht ganz vollständig automatisch zu Storygraph importierten Goodreads-Lesedaten. Ich müsste bei vielen hundert Büchern noch das Datum ergänzen, eine sehr langweilige Aufgabe.

Tumblr (seit Februar 2014), wegen des Techniktagebuchs

Telegram (nutze ich seit Januar 2015, scheint sich aber als separates Tab erst später etabliert zu haben)

Facebook Messenger (seit Mai 2015; vor allem wegen des Techniktagebuch-Redaktionschats, der aus historischen Gründen dort wohnt)

Discord (seit ca. 2020, vorher auch schon mal). 2023 hatte ich "leider immer noch nur selten Gelegenheit, es auch zu nutzen", das hat sich mittlerweile geändert. Allerdings nutze ich es fast nur am Handy, weil die Browserversion immer wieder Neuanmeldung verlangt. Die Anmeldung ist zwar nicht umständlich (QR-Code mit der Discord-App am Handy scannen), aber dann kann ich Discord auch gleich am Handy benutzen, vor allem, weil ich dort sowieso fast nur lese und sehr wenig schreibe.

WhatsApp (seit Anfang 2021) – vor etwa fünf Jahren wurde es nur von Rentnerinnen im Umfeld meiner Mutter genutzt, inzwischen kenne ich selbst 15 bis 20 Leute, die es bevorzugen.

der Chat von Google, der so oft umbenannt wird, dass es mir egal ist, wie er diese Woche heißt (seit Juni 2023, aus beruflichen Gründen und wegen einer Freundin, die diesen Kanal bevorzugt)

Gmail – eigentlich hatte ich das Tab 2016 geschlossen, und offenbar hatte ich danach bis 2023 keines. Jetzt ist es wiedergekommen, ohne dass ich sagen könnte, warum.

Slack – nachdem es letztes Jahr noch bei den weggefallenen Tabs auftauchte, ist es bald danach wiedergekommen. Das liegt daran, dass ich mein Openstreetmap-Editier-Hobby durch ein Open-Library-Editier-Hobby ersetzt habe und die Open Library es für den Austausch nutzt. Wenn man Slack täglich benutzt, entfällt das Problem, dass man sich ständig auf die umständlichste Weise neu anmelden muss, es stört mich jetzt also nicht mehr.

Als Kinder dieses Slack-Tabs um die 20 Tabs, die mit verschiedenen häufig gebrauchten Open-Library-Dingen zu tun haben: Anleitungen, Projekte, Suchen, Wikipediaeinträge, Vorlagen

Mastodon – seit Sommer 2022.

Mastodon Techniktagebuch-Account (seit irgendwann nach März 2023, damit ich als Techniktagebuch fremde Beiträge reposten kann)

Mastodon botsin.space – seit irgendwann in der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2023 für meine verschiedenen zu Mastodon umgezogenen Twitterbots. Seit dem Ende von Twitter betrachte ich sie allerdings nicht mehr mit Liebe, sondern wie etwas, das mich an eine unglücklich beendete Beziehung erinnert, nämlich die zu Twitter. Deshalb nutze ich dieses Tab eigentlich fast nie.

Google Keep (seit Juli 2015)

Google Drive (seit etwa 2006)

Unter den meisten dieser Tabs hängen (im Baum-System von Tree Style Tabs) mehrere Kinder-Tabs. Darin sind die Seiten, die ich aus dem jeweiligen Eltern-Tab heraus geöffnet und mit denen ich noch Pläne habe.

Unterhalb der hier aufgelisteten immer offenen Tabs kommen noch Tabs, die eigentlich auch immer offen sind (jedenfalls seit Monaten), aber nicht, weil ich sie ständig brauche, sondern nur, weil sie mich an Pläne und Projekte erinnern.

Darunter kommen dann noch die, die gerade aus flüchtigen Gründen geöffnet sind. Hier räume ich alle paar Tage auf und schließe die nicht mehr benötigten.

7 great WhatsApp features launched in 2023 to this point

In Short

You can now run your primary WhatsApp account on up to 4 different devices.

Chat lock feature on WhatsApp lets you lock specific chats without having to lock the app altogether.

You can only edit WhatsApp texts within the first 15 minutes after sending the original message.

1. Same WhatsApp, Multiple devices

After years of waiting, WhatsApp finally gave us the ability to use our same WhatsApp account on multiple devices. So, the feature basically works like how you use WhatsApp Web. All you need to do is — suppose you want to run WhatsApp on a different phone. Simply, download WhatsApp on the new device, and while you’re on the screen that says enter your phone number, simply tap the three dots in the top-right and select Link to existing account. After that, scan the QR code from your primary phone, and voila, you can now run the same WhatsApp account on two smartphones. And you can simultaneously do this on 4 different devices, which is pretty cool and handy.

2. Chat lock

Chat Lock is another cool feature that has been a long time coming. Up until now, to hide chats, either you could archive them or lock WhatsApp altogether. But now, you can specifically lock WhatsApp chats. To do this, simply head over to the profile info screen of any chat contact that you’d like to lock. Then, scroll down to find the ‘Chat lock’ option. On the next screen, enable "Lock this chat with fingerprint", authenticate and you are done.

3. Edit messages

Similar to Telegram, you can now edit sent WhatsApp messages, basically to rectify any mistake or edit your message. To do this, tap and hold on to the message you wish to edit. Now select the ‘Edit’ option from the three-dots menu in the top-right. Make the changes to the text and hit the ‘tick’ option to finalise the changes. Note, you can only edit texts within the first 15 minutes, and there’s going to be an edited tag below the edited message.

4. Share high-quality photos

Up until now, if you had to share a high-quality photo with someone on WhatsApp, you had to rely on sending a photo as a document. Well, not anymore. Simply, go to WhatsApp Settings, look for Storage and Data, and within Media Upload Quality, choose “Best quality” for Photo Upload quality. This way, you can send your photos in the best possible quality on WhatsApp without relying on the “sending photo as document” feature.

5. Dedicated video recording mode

Previously, to directly record a video from WhatsApp, users had to press and hold the shutter button in the camera section of WhatsApp. But now, with the dedicated video recording mode, there’s a separate button altogether that lets you record videos.

6. Voice status

We all know how to send voice messages on WhatsApp. But did you know you can now set voice messages as your status updates? Very simple. Head over to the ‘Status’ tab on WhatsApp and select the ‘pencil’ icon at the bottom. On the next screen, tap the ‘microphone’ icon and start recording your voice message for up to 30 seconds.

7. Status link previews

When posting a link as your status, WhatsApp can now automatically add a preview image by fetching the thumbnail or the featured image from the URL. Basically, with this feature, the person hitting your link will have context by seeing the thumbnail, like what the link is actually talking about.

You Can Block Those Annoying Cookie Banners on Every Website

They might be legally required, but they're also blocking everything you want to read.

By Pranay Parab

There’s a long list of things that make browsing the internet feel like living in a dystopian hellscape, and annoying cookie banners and consent forms are right at the top of that list. Most websites are legally required to display these notices and take your consent for using cookies. However, it also blocks a big chunk of the website you’re trying to read. Let’s fix this on all of your devices.

Block cookie banners on desktop

No matter what platform you’re using, you can easily install a browser extension to block cookie notices. Super Agent is a free extension that works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It’s built to automatically get rid of cookie banners and will come through for almost all the websites you visit. The extension’s preferences page allows you to customize which cookies you want to accept and which ones you want to reject. This is a key feature: You don’t want to use an add-on that automatically accepts all cookies on every websites you go to.

If you’d rather not install a dedicated extension for this purpose, you can use uBlock Origin as an alternative. It blocks a long list of annoyances by default, but you have to manually enable its cookie-notice blocking list. Click the uBlock Origin icon and go to Settings > Filter lists > Annoyances. Enable EasyList Cookie to hide cookie banners.

Be aware that automatically blocking cookie notices could prevent some websites from loading altogether, which is why you can consider using uBlock Origin’s element hiding feature instead. When you see a cookie notice on any website, you can click the uBlock Origin extension icon from the browser’s toolbar, and select the eyedropper icon.

This enters the element-picker mode: Hover the mouse cursor over the cookie notice till the entire banner is selected, click it once, and select Create Filter in the pop-up window. You may have to do this manually on multiple websites, but it’s a one-time effort for each website you visit and only takes a few clicks.

Block cookie banners on iPhone and iPad

As long as your iPhone and iPad are updated to iOS 15, you can use some great Safari extensions to block annoyances on the web. However, Super Agent is still the best cookie-notice handler for iPhone and iPad. It lets the cookie banner load and automatically accepts or rejects cookies based on your preferences. This takes a second or so after the website loads, but you don’t have to do anything after enabling the extension.

Block cookie banners on Android

If you use Firefox on Android, you can install the browser add-on for uBlock Origin to block cookie notices on all websites. If you don’t, your best bet is to use an ad-blocker like AdGuard for Android, which also blocks cookie banners on various websites. The unfortunate truth is that these types of apps are not allowed on Google Play, so you may have to sideload it on your phone.
