This sounds really innocuous, but Teen Vogue just axed their whole politics desk — everybody working on it has been laid off. This is devastating: it was a publication with a lot of reach and it was consistent in how it spoke out against this administration.

요즘 《물고기는 존재하지 않는다》를 읽고 있는데 가끔 이 책 제목을 잘못 말해서 《물고기는 답을 알고 있다》처럼 이상한 소리를 하게 되는 경우가 있어요.

"私の一推し曲「I Still See」では、歩道橋の上でふいに立ち止まり誰かを思い出す、という歌詞の世界に浸っていると、間奏で外を歩く足音のSEが入り、これがグッと来てしまいます。"

정말 진지하게 <때 이른 검은 백합> 추천해요. 대규모 전염병으로 인한 인구 급감의 여파로 강압적인 출생 장려 정책이 당연하게 받아들여지는 근미래 일본을 배경으로, 입시가 끝나고 졸업을 앞둔 시점의 고3 레즈비언인 주인공 사사모리 하나가 여러가지 일에 휘말리며 벌어지는 일을 다루고 있어요. 백합 게임이자, 상호작용이 훌륭한 비주얼노벨이기도 하고, 동시에 청소년 퀴어 성장물로서도 뚜렷한 주제의식을 보여주고 있어요. store.steampowered.com/app/1931940/

In case you missed it, I have another account devoted entirely to helping people use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. You can follow it to see tips, and tag the account to ask questions:

➡️ @FediTips

Feel free to ask if you want help using this place, especially if you are new here. I really do answer if you ask questions, it's why I run the account. (And yes I am a human being 😁 )

There's also a website for the account which has lots of easy-to-understand help at fedi.tips

In the decades-long process of getting my fvwm config JUST RIGHT, my xterm right-click menu now has a "duplicate" command, which opens a new xterm with the same geometry, on the same node, IN THE SAME DIRECTORY. (Directory info aquired via /proc.)

(I expect I'll still be tweaking this when Wayland is but a bad memory and everyone is switching to The New Big Thing.)

warm take #2: clock times are a social tool for people who live in a place: the day starts around 7am and finishes around 7pm no matter where you are.

That's more useful for more people than the vanishingly small minority of the world who have to think about multiple timezones every day.

warm take :

As an engineer, writing timezone-handling code is a privilege: you're enabling people to have a normal, predictable life in the place where they actually live; also you're saving literally billions of people from having to figure out what a bill/schedule/whatever means because it doesn't correspond to something that corresponds to their physical location. cease complaining.

i have current Blender running smoothly on MNT Reform with RK3588 and external AMD RX 580 GPU via M.2 to Oculink adatpter -> Oculink dock. ("JMT Dock-OC4"). this is a big deal for me because it means i'll be able to get into more 3D stuff at home. just need to think about a solid mechanical setup.

I visited the Mother of Exiles today for the first time. It was more emotional than I expected. By and large I don't feel defined by my immigrant identity, but it's always there in the background. Today it felt very real.

A view of the statue of liberty from below and to her right, looking sharply up at her torch hand."The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"The statue of liberty from a departing ship, viewed from her left. The clouds she is looking out at are dark and heavy, but there is a hope of sunlight at the top of the frame.

Victory for privacy in Europe!

After massive public backlash, the EU Council has withdrawn its “Chat Control” proposal to scan encrypted messages.

EFF and digital rights advocates have warned for years: client-side scanning breaks encryption and threatens human rights.

argh. i am a smart person and all but there's nothing like class to make me feel very inadequate. my engineer brain keeps on trying to spot patterns, but everything is "here is the rule, and here's alll the exceptions. just memorize it!" :blobcat_tear:

I'm thrilled that Laurenz Stampfl, a student at ETH Zurich, has completed his Masters degree, and has published the thesis: ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/speci

The work is based on prototypes I did in the last few months, but is a complete reimplementation with lots of optimizations, including portable SIMD. I believe it's the fastest pure Rust CPU renderer, and also shares a lot of logic with vello_hybrid.
