Die Kritik an Correctiv ignoriert, was wir über Rechtsextremismus wissen | Übermedien
Die auf Übermedien formulierte Kritik an der Geheimplan-Recherche von Correctiv hat ein zentrales Problem, findet unser Autor. Denn sie will vom Wesen des zeitgenössischen Rechtsextremismus nichts wissen.Andrej Reisin (Übermedien)

Child A's first wobbly tooth fell out yesterday at nursery, and they didn't even notice! We only spotted the gap in the evening when I was helping them brush their teeth. They were very upset they couldn't leave anything for the #toothfairy , or get a coin for it. But don't worry, #German paperwork to the rescue. I created a mini 'lost tooth' form that we've filled out and put under the pillow instead, I'm sure it'll work out 😉
Bugfix rate in the #curl project is currently racing to an all-time high.
(yes, presumably this also means we insert more bugs as well as there need to be something to fix...)
@esoteric_programmer this article describes FediNuke. A subset of a subset of the pleroma.envs.net blocklist, with receipts, for the worst instances on Fedi. It’s designed to be suitable for new admins who don’t know a good starting point but are wary of most blocklists.
The linked article describes how it’s made and the criteria I use. The bar for inclusion is higher than most lists: staff with Nazi imagery, staff participating in targeted harassment campaigns against marginalized users by sending shock content and sui-bait, staff posting anti-Black and antisemitic racial caricatures, etc. are all common reasons to end up on the list.
You can either scroll through receipts and pick which instances you want to block, or just import and review later.

New entry in my “uses” page:
usvg is an SVG compiler, and one of the most under-appreciated tools I use. It compiles complex SVGs into simpler path-based SVGs. Edge-case SVGs may render incorrectly in some renderers (e.g. librsvg), but compiling them with usvg tends to iron these edge-cases out and make them more compatible. usvg is part of the resvg project, which is the most conformant SVG renderer I know of (and much smaller than librsvg if you include dependencies!).
I’ve sent all the SVGs on seirdy.one through usvg, and rasterized many of the emotes on pleroma.envs.net with resvg.
(sorry for the delete-redraft; I posted the wrong link and the link preview didn’t update when I edited!)

Librsvg 2.58.93 is out!
This is for the GNOME 47 beta release.
There's a new Rust crate, librsvg-rebind, courtesy of @sophie, which lets you use the system's librsvg shared library from Rust via a generated binding. It's different from the idiomatic Rust API, but it saves you binary size if you can assume that librsvg.so is already in the system.
Also, a bunch of dependency updates and build fixes.

@wezm I'm generally of the opinion that "code has to live somewhere" and that hard drives are cheap... but for example, there was a genuine concern from people who use librsvg as part of an AWS lambda and binaries must be small there - they wanted to remove the legacy gdk-pixbuf functions, which they don't use.
For flatpaks, size doesn't matter much, but for Loupe it does make sense to just use the runtime's shared librsvg instead of embedding it in the app's binary.
