For the love of Lesbians, can y'all please not be mean to each other in the replies to a post about typesetting an obscure punctuation mark?

Not as impressive as all the stuff Phil has done in his Spectre.Tui Elm framework, but I implemented basic list support today.

I was reading @rosano's journal (https://rosano.ca/log/01kgkgw4fw3cdmf7tqc3vd1592) and came across this quote from @mauveMauve 👁💜's newest article (https://blog.mauve.moe/posts/decentralized-social-media) comparing the three protocols of the apocalypse

All other social media platforms feel like I'm zapping through teleshopping channels.

Mastodon is like finding the button that turns on interdimensional cable.

내가 보기엔 이 사람은 현대의 금융시스템 자체가 완전 non-sense라는것을 알고 있었던것 같고... 기회가 있었고 (나쁜 용도로) 활용했고 그리고 도덕적으로는 완전히 망가진 사람이구나 싶긴함 요약해준 ChatGPT도 (누군지 이름을 안알려주고 대사만 제시했는데도) 이 사람은 의도적으로 자꾸 회피하는것 같다는 의견.

⭕Un homme fuit à travers les débris après qu'une frappe #Israélienne a touché un immeuble de trois étages près de l'intersection #d'Askula à #Al-Zeitoun, dans la ville de #Gaza, malgré le cessez-le-feu déclaré. Photo : #Ali_Jadallah (6 février 2026)

The Israeli occupation’s Interior Ministry is moving to officially register five settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, including Havat Gilad, which sits on privately owned Palestinian land near Nablus.

Official recognition would allow these outposts to receive state funding, municipal services, and access to national infrastructure, while also enabling expanded construction under Israeli planning laws.

Under Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, settlement legalization has accelerated, with 25 settlements recognized in two months, aiming to reinforce Israeli control over Area C and block prospects for a Palestinian state.

ah i see, the fork in the road was between "leaving bluesky" and "potentially misleading"

i guess it always did this though github.com/bluesky-soci... i just don't know if it's a good choice

interesting read in defense of Nostr's architecture. really seems like there is a renewed battle between ATproto, ActivityPub and Nostr lately

Got to meet some great people while speaking at @innersourceInnerSource Commons 's OS Innovation Summit in Dublin this weekend. 🔥 Thanks for the pic @mgiffordMike Gifford, CPWA @FOSDEM !

Je lepší:

i think detecting "does text look like a domain" was the intent of the linked function. but i think it's false positively identifying anything, even "foo", as a domain, because new URL("http://foo").hostname gives you "foo" this seems like nonsense to me

Having a chilled Saturday night, listening to some quality music with my Boys 🎵🎶

What I'm listening to today: "BASTL WAVE🐦‍⬛BARD｜#14 - DRONE", boop _e_

A couple days ago I posted this artist using the Citadel, a eurorack module reprogrammable as any of Bastl's "Kastle 2" devices. Here's the equivalent desktop/handheld device, this time programmed as a "Wavebard", with the eurorack cables replaced with little wires.

Track is a soulful, disorienting dream about being lost in fog while giant glowing blobs of color pass by you, paintsplotches in the mist

Can everyone please stop with the AI generated profile photos?

It's absolute slop and it's killing the environment.

If you want a profile pic that's grossly exaggerated and looks nothing like you, I'd be happy to draw a bad caricature for free.

This account has a website full of tips and step-by-step guides about how to use Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse:

The entire site is written in ordinary non-technical language, aimed at a general audience. There's a section at the top with quick links to the most essential stuff, and a complete list of guides below that.

Sometimes when I talk to other developers and the topic of a DID comes up — I get the feeling they are making them out to be more complex than they really are

They are just a way to turn an ID (identifier) into a URI

There are certain technologies that expect URIs — and if you want to use your ID with it, you need to turn it into a URI

As a side note — the Fediverse turns Fediverse IDs into URIs by turning them into acct-URIs (rather than DIDs)

While I shared the initial post, it's worth calling out specifically: @rootnode is currently blogging a read-though of the ed(1) source-code and detailing the findings:

https://blog.wollwage.com/2026/20260207-daily-source-reading-ed.html

While the current read-through is only a minimal portion of the way through, it promises to be an interesting series.

Handy thing I just spotted coming to Python 3.15:

"The -W option and the PYTHONWARNINGS environment variable can now specify regular expressions instead of literal strings to match the warning message and the module name, if the corresponding field starts and ends with a forward slash (/).

Heard about the am-dash (https://www.theamdash.com/) on the latest episode of 99 Percent Invisible.

As I understand it, there's no unicode for the am-dash yet. While I have downloaded Times New Human and Areal, I wouldn't now how to actually get the am-dash in a LaTeX-generated document, since the command to get it is more than a single character.

I hacked something together, but obviously that's not the same.

Does anybody know how to do it properly? Or maybe someone has already contacted Cocogun to ask if they'd be willing to collaborate on a project to make a tiny LaTeX package or something, just so we can use the am-dash in our LaTeX-typeset documents?
