Region-locked globalisation. Fun! … not.
All the major printer companies region-lock their ink. Here’s how I reset the regionalization on my HP Officejet printer.Nathan Edwards (The Verge)

We're back from #GDC23, where @godotengine had an official booth for the first time! :godot:
It was an amazing experience, with 16+ indie games presented by their developers, tons of great discussions with visitors, talks, and an IGF award! 🏅

Happy day! Got my copy of Mastodon for Dummies by
@workingwriter @chrisminnick huge thanks to them for sending it to me😊
Will be reviewing the book and testing out the explanations on my favorite dummy, since my husband has finally decided to make a Mastodon account 👀
Since nightly-2023-04-01, this Rust code can panic:
unsafe {*(1 as *const i32)}
because rustc now inserts a check that raw pointers are aligned before dereferencing them.
github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull…
This check is only inserted when debug assertions are enabled. If you have any notable experience with this, drop me a line!
Closes #54915 Jake tells me this sounds like a place to use MirPatch, but I can't figure out how to insert a new basic block with a new terminator in the middle of an existing basic block, using ...GitHub
"Cat pictures and videos are often shared across the Internet. Many of these files display feline subjects interacting with boxes and other containers.
Since there is currently no compact notation for describing such media, this document details a standard notation to describe the position and interaction of cats, containers, and related subjects pictured in these images."

Knitted origami
Elizabeth L. Wilmer
"Techniques are presented for embedding horizontal, vertical, and45◦diagonal crease lines into garter stitch knitted fabric. While theseare mostly based on standard lace knitting stitches, the horizon-tal creases use double-cable-crossed elongated stitches in a non-standard way. This crease library suffices to knit a model of a squaretwist, a foundational origami tessellation unit."
I think centralized, large predictive text models (no, they’re not AI—just ask Qui-Gon Jinn!) are missing the point. The more interesting application than literally mindless spouting and regurgitating things that have been said on the internet is specialized, localized models trained on very specific data.
But most importantly, can people please stop pretending text models are somehow inherently intelligent?

So I really like writing in C. And it's weird! But here's why:
gorpub.freeshell.org/goodmanso…
Donald Goodman's thoughts on various topics; descriptions (and, if appropriate, downloads) of his various projects; and all manner of (hopefully) interesting things.gorpub.freeshell.org
That's the fun thing about C---everybody knows enough to be dangerous!
I love working with shell, too; my only significant non-C program is in POSIX shell: codeberg.org/dgoodmaniii/makeb… And while it doesn't have C's footguns, it's idiosyncratic enough to need some creative thought, hence my enjoyment of it. But what I like best in shell is having to put together other programs in interesting ways. It's why I learned sed and awk! Which I use a *lot* in Makefiles now, too.
I read through some of that code. It is very well written, and I especially like the use of command -v. Lots of people use which, and that’s fine, but I’ve always used command -v as well.
I wonder if you might be interested in helping me with bashtml? It’s a fork of bashblog that adds support for plugins. I have some other ideas I want to do with it, but without someone who can see to make sure the pages aren’t messed up visually, I worry that I might break it for everyone except screen reader users lol.
I was wondering what happened to the beautiful Japanese actress in The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. Her name is Koyuki, and her Wikipedia entry led me to a manga about a career woman who takes in a young man as her pet. Koyuki starred in the TV version of this.
This was 20 years ago. Japan blows my mind. #kink en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramps_L…

The 400 million dollars US employers spend to block (often illegally) unionization each year is likely an under count of a much larger figure due to loopholes.
And the penalties for employers breaking the law are inconsequential.
I drew this in 2020, posted it on the birdsite, and it went viral (at least by my standards!), earning me 250 new followers.
It shows how much battery various stars would have left if they had battery indicators like phones do. #MastoArt

Just because someone claims a _thing_ is “accessible” does not make it so.
Failing WCAG, the bare minimum, can be confirmed with a quick automated check: nested interactives (1.3.1/4.1.2), not dismissable (1.4.13), hidden items get focus (2.4.7), state not conveyed (4.1.2), heading mismatch (1.3.1/2.4.6).
This demonstrates why CSS-only widgets are inaccessible: adrianroselli.com/2023/03/css-…
Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL.Adrian Roselli
