Das dritte Kapitel von meiner Wattpad-Geschichte ist fertig 🥳

Es hat so lange gedauert, weil ich an dem Bild dazu so lange gearbeitet habe. Ich bin mit den Posen und den Schatten immer noch unzufrieden, aber trotzdem bin ich stolz, ein so komplexes Bild fertig gezeichnet zu haben.

Das gibt mir etwas Selbstvertrauen, doch wieder mehr an meinem Traum, einen Manga zu zeichnen, zu arbeiten, anstatt Geschichten zu schreiben.

I like #Lenovo for how easily accessible #service manuals their laptops have. 👌🪛 💻

Funny is, the laptop I am fixing now has the usual warning for powering off the device and disconnecting the power cord and battery. Or here literally to remove the battery pack. But actually you have to disassamble half of the machine to disconnect the battery. And then the rest of the machine to remove the battery. There is even no option to disable battery in bios. 😀 ⚡🔋

Screenshot from service manual: Danger! Before removing any unit remove the battery pack.
Another screenshot from service manual: To remove battery pack you have to first remove hard disk, pci express slot cover, wifi module, optical drive, keyboard, optical drive board, usb board, main board...

Cortana-grade AIs, in the Pre-343 Halo universe, took 7 years to go rampant. Sydney here is going off the edge after that many hours.

I don’t know what they’re putting in the water in Seattle, but why is Microsoft the only tech company out there building software that seems to have a half-life? Their file systems and OSes, and now their ML chat systems… they just _degrade_. It’s been true since the DOS days. They’ve been able to prolong it but just never fix it.

theverge.com/2023/2/17/2360490…


Microsoft limits Bing chat to five replies to stop the AI from getting real weird

Microsoft capped Bing AI chatbot conversations at five turns per session after reports of strange and unsettling responses. The company previously said long chat sessions can make it respond in “a style we didn’t intend.”

have you asked if@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social agrees to that? About a year ago we were approached and asked to remove all GOS apps from our repos (F-Droid's and mine; that also included their PDF Viewer) and have been told to not include them with any F-Droid repo without their "express permission".

Though the license of the apps would permit us to ignore that, we respect their request. So you'll have to get their express permission first.

as a library author, my rule of thumb is that short of memory corruption issues (like out-of-bounds access), everything should be user-recoverable. Anything that would signal an incorrect internal assumption ("I am asserting to myself, as library author, that this invariant can never be violated") should immediately panic and never expose that failure to the user.

@zkat Oh, yeah, I'm not talking about programming errors. I'm trying to distinguish two cases:

- something happened in this heavily recursive thing which should result in just not rendering an element (e.g. a transformation matrix ends up being non-invertible, no big deal, just not render the object and continue).

- OOM, or an implementation limit was exceeded - catch it, exit quickly, report an error in the public API.

  • GUI programming definitely has different requirements, where showing something at all is generally considered better than not showing anything (see also: it makes sense for JavaScript to be so loosey-goosey about types and conversions)
  • There's... a lot to be said in the debate on whether the modern assumption of "memory is infinite" and allocators being optimistic has been a good idea all these years, or whether we should exercise more control over our allocators.

I recently learned that German company Telefunken arguably invented the computer mouse. They offered a “Rollkugelsteuerung” (“rolling ball control”) for one of their mainframes in 1968, months before Douglas Engelbart’s “mother of all demos”. Telefunken’s mouse was also more advanced than Engelbart’s mouse as it used a ball instead of two wheels. (Photo credit:

A semisphere on a desk top, about the size of half a tennis ball, with the flat size down. It’s beige and scruffy. A green cable is attached at the based and curled up on the left. On the top of the sphere is a silver button. A label on the sphere reads "RKS 100-86"

Hello everyone! We've just created the proper v0.7.0 release of GoToSocial, Stormy Sloth! ⛈️ 🦥

You can find the release here: github.com/superseriousbusines…

This is the culmination of two and a bit months of hard work, and we're really proud of it :)

Big thank you to all contributors, testers, and well wishers!

Release highlights

  • Basic video support (mp4 only). You can finally upload videos, and view videos from remote instances too. Not all mp4 files work, currently -- this is something we'll investigate for next release most likely.
  • Support for federating reports in and out of GoToSocial, and viewing reports via the admin settings panel (this feature was sponsored by NLnet).
  • Support for webp attachments, avatars, and headers.
  • Users can now create, remove, and view status bookmarks!
  • Domain blocks now apply on a wildcard basis, so you can block a second level domain (like example.org) and it will apply to subdomains too (like poop.example.org etc).
  • HTTP request throttling -- only a certain number of http requests are served at a time now. This should vastly improve responsiveness under load on small instances.
  • Much better logic for pruning old avatars + headers, leading to gb of disk space savings.
  • So many bug fixes and performance improvements.

libadwaita updates

So a few things happened since the last thread (neurodifferent.me/@alexm/10978…)

A few people (mainly @brainblasted) have been trying the new widgetry in all sorts of apps. I've seen branches of:

- Contacts
- Fractal
- Patterns
- Telegrand
- Nautilus (!!!)

And I use Characters and libadwaita demo for testing myself.

This is probably the most widely-tested wip widget to date in libadwaita 😅

One of the missing pieces last time was undershoot style handling - if we have a flat header bar next to scrolling content, we need to add a border/shadow/whatever if content scrolls down.

I'm not going to detail the problems because I already did it last time (see neurodifferent.me/@alexm/10978…), but we ended up with yet another widget replacing GtkBox for this.

The preliminary name for it is AdwToolbarView (I don't particularly love it but don't have better ideas), and it actually allows us to do quite a few other things aside from "make header bars in dual pane view not look borked", even when header bars are not flat:

- Add a window handle to the full thing so search bars etc are automatically draggable - currently they are not even though they look connected to header bars

- Get rid of the borders between header bar, search bar, tab bar etc, like in this mockup: gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/…

- Get rid of double spacing after getting rid of the borders, again like on that mockup. This part is complicated though, I'll explain why in the next toot.

- Have a shadow on the header bar. We never did because if you pack it into a box it will go below the window contents and not above - in a vertical box widgets are drawn top to bottom so header bar is rendered before content, along with its shadow

- Have a property for extending content underneath it. At this point one can use it instead of flap for things like Epiphany header bar in fullscreen.

So while I was not enthusiastic about having a widget for this initially, it seems to be working surprisingly well in practice.

libadwaita updates

So overall we're at 4 new APIs:

- Adaptive states
- Browsing view
- Dual pane view
- Toolbar view

That's a lot of "view" in the names... Oh well

So this is enough to deprecate:

- AdwLeaflet
- AdwSqueezer
- AdwViewSwitcherTitle (because it's using a squeezer)

And we still have AdwFlap left. At least toolbar view gets rid of one of the flap use cases so it's just bottom sheets and transient sidebars.

Theming is a frequently requested feature for Conversations.

Conversations 3.0 will come with a green default theme and on recent devices users will be able to use "Material You".

There will be two settings:
· Theme: Light | Dark | Automatic (follow system)
· Use Dynamic Colors (Material You)

The latter will only be available on devices running Android 12+.
This means no color selection on earlier devices unfortunately; but time will take care of that problem for us.

The Conversations setup screen asking the user for their XMPP address. Green and white text on black background. The default dark theme running on devices that do not support Material You.
