Horsemen known as yegüerizos take part in the traditional saca de las yeguas (collecting of horses) in Doñana national park, near the coast in south-western Spain. The annual event, which has been running since 1504, involves collecting semi-wild horses, which are herded to Almonte town to be cleaned, branded and blessed by a priest before being sold. Horses that are not sold are returned to the park and freed to roam until the next year,

Whoa, as of 10 days ago we have functions to go between a Uint8Array and a Base64 Normal/URL Padded/Unpadded string in JavaScript without having to go via a String of “bytes” and manually juggle the padding in every major browser.

What a time to be alive.

The toBase64() method of Uint8Array instances returns a base64-encoded string based on the data in this Uint8Array object.

뭔가 지인은 남성복 살 때 몰개성하다고 해서 여성복 이쁘다고 부러워하고, 여성브챗러는 여성복 불편하다고 속옷부터 돌핀팬츠 등 남친 옷을 뺏어입는 거를 보면 뭔가 디자인을 희생해서 기능성을 잡던가 디자인을 위해 기능성이 안드로메다로 간 느낌이다

EF50mm F1.4 USM を X-T5 と 5DMarkⅣ の写真比較｜fun_photo

X-T5用にレンズXF56mmF1.2 Rを中古などネット上を徘徊しつつ防湿庫には、EF50mm F1.4 USMがひっそりと出番を待っている。 EFレンズを活用しようとマウントアダプター　Fringer FR-FX20も購入済みだった。 最新のレンズよりも古めかしいレンズとして、EF50mm F1.4 USMが守備範囲内だろうと試す。 この際、X-T5だけでなく5DMarkⅣにも付けて、写真の比較を行ってみた。 EF50mm F1.4 USMは、CANONのWebによると1993年6月発売、2025年4月の時点で生産終了となっている。 この記事のバナーとして使用した下記の写真は、5

Everlyn Ayo, a survivor abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army, walks past a site she recalls using as a shelter during her night commutes. The ‘night commuters’, one of the emblematic features of the horrific insurgency that raged for years, were children who trekked through each dark night to stay in towns or shelters where they hoped they were less at risk of being kidnapped by warlord Joseph Kony’s army, Gulu,

Today I discovered an interesting inconsistency in Activity Streams specs while investigating a Fedify issue.

The question: How should we interpret URLs like "icon": "https://example.com/avatar.png"?

JSON-LD context (https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams): @type: "@id" → “This is an IRI reference, dereference it to fetch an ActivityStreams object.”

Activity Streams Primer: “assume that a bare string is the href of a Link object, not an id” (no dereferencing)

Result: JSON-LD processor-based implementations try to parse PNG files as JSON and fail.

Turns out w3c/activitystreams#595 already discusses the same issue for href properties. I added a note that icon, image, etc. have the same problem.

Once again reminded of how tricky spec work can be…

Summary Fedify throws a JSON parsing error when processing ActivityPub objects where the icon property is a URL string instead of an Image object. This is valid according to ActivityStreams 2.0 spe...

要談美國的擁槍權有幾個事實還是要先確認啦：

1. 美國設立擁槍權的時候，當時的槍支跟現在相比可是不可同日而言，不僅有效命中距離短，射擊速度也慢（每分鐘最快2-4發，還是有訓練過的步兵才能做到）。

2. 這個世界也是有合法擁槍但槍支沒有氾濫也沒有大規模槍擊案事件的國家——瑞士。

A soldier inspects a damaged house, after Russian drones violated Polish airspace during an attack on Ukraine, in Wyryki. Poland’s prime minister, Donald Tusk, said the country is closer to military conflict ‘than at any time since the second world war’ as Warsaw and Nato allies weighed a response to the incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace.
