Blog post: A taxonomy of text output (from tools that want to be too clever) https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/sysadmin/ProgramTextOutputTaxonomy
(In which I attempt to inventory all of the increasingly clever and disliked ways that command line programs have come up with to make their output less pleasant and harder for me to use. Dnf, you're on the list (near the bottom).)

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5

> we need to ramp up the pressure to tax these companies and fund a UBI *now*. if we don't, by the time they've already eliminated these jobs it will be too late, and they'll hold all the cards.

I agree.
I wrote a piece recently called "A letter from 2016 to 2026" about a fictional person (not me, but based on conversations I was having) writing a letter to open 10y later https://dustycloud.org/blog/a-letter-from-2016-to-2026/
Part of it is the *promises* we were made of what life with AI was going to be like.
Liz highlights UBI as necessary here, and it's actually correct FROM THEIR ARGUMENTS. All the big CEOs of tech were talking up UBI as the answer to what would happen when AI automated everything. So we should hold them to account.
(They also said we'd be automating away the tedious stuff so we can focus on creative things like writing, code, artwork, and music. Oops! Funny how that worked out, huh?)
People keep telling me to treat LLMs as junior devs, as if "a junior dev who is structurally incapable of learning from mistakes" isn't a working definition of hell.

HarfBuzz 13.0.0 released with new experimental features: `hb-vector` for vector output of glyph outlines to SVG and `hb-raster` for rasterizing glyphs to A8 / BGRA32 images, among other features.
I would like to welcome our new contributors: Claude & Codex, without whom these new features would not have been possible.

One of best aspects of my firm is a Teams chat run by our incident management department, with about 700 key techs across enterprise receive updates on problems and issues trending that way. Anyone can raise flag about something weird, if confirmed gets split out. Just discretion. Not intended for management consumption, that's handled by incident department.

@evanEvan Prodromou yes, but... who is "we"?
If I want to write a client that reshuffles 24h of posts from my feed for some purpose I desire, I can't see why that isn't OK. We the individual users.
If my instance imposes nontransparent, complicated, algorithms not under user control..... well that's unacceptable. We the software designers and operators.
@johnefrancisJohn Francis 🦫🇨🇦🍁💪⬆️ such an interesting point. For much on the Fediverse I expect a lot of alignment of interests between users and developers, though.

I am setting up my new hard drive. I think I want to put a NTFS partition at the end of the drive and a Linux partition at the start of the drive. I assumed NTFS wants to be created by Windows, so I went into "Disk Management" and it's… mysterious. I guess what I want to do here is create one "blank partition" filling the non-NTFS bits and then one NTFS partition filling the rest?
Does ANYTHING on ANY OS care if the GPT is created by Windows, Linux, whatever?
Incidentally I do think that Windows 12 situation is interesting as an example of how this stuff gets laundered into social media bait. It was a multi-step process!
The original article in German on PC Welt wouldn't have trended since it was in German. Then it got roughly translated into English for PC World, and *that* version gave it the veneer of respectability despite being conjecture with absolutely no sourcing.
Update #Serbien: Die Landwirte blockieren seit 22 Tagen landesweite wichtige Straßen. Mehrere wurden verhaftet. Wegen ihnen gehen Menschen auf die Straße.
