Found out recently that Mapillary broke the navigation in their web explorer. Couple years ago it showed a trace as a series of points: you click on one and see the photo.
Now it displays a line. You cannot click anywhere on the line, but have to trace your mouse cursor along it, searching for a photo. And only then you can click and see it.
I think they don't use Mapillary anymore at Meta, that's why all its parts are getting worse with time.
The Fediverse's social reading platform BookWyrm lets you import your account data from Goodreads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary or Calibre. There are step by step instructions for how to do this here:

If you're wondering what the heck BookWyrm is, it's a Fediverse alternative to Amazon's Goodreads. There's an intro article here:

I know people are probably bored of ChatGPT mistakes - but its knowledge of #DoctorWho is impressively bad!
I asked it which Oscar Winners had appeared in Doctor Who.
The first two are bang on. Number 3… eh! I'll take it.
But then it gets worse (cont.)
Okay just, like right off the cuff here. But why does Vispero, a company making blindness software/hardware want videos for there Big Thing thing? Why not just text? Emails? Like, what? Why? Meh, whatever. I'll submit mine I guess. I'm sure some of you know what I'm gonna suggest. Feel free to submit your own ideas, goodness knows we need more grand ideas for screen readers.

I have ported #systemd to #musl. Properly. Passing all tests, properly. Booting my 2012 Ivy Bridge in 3.2 seconds, properly.
I'm aware of how unpopular this will be in some circles. But change does not happen without competition, and musl environments deserve more than what they have right now. systemd isn't a panacea, it isn't even that great, but it's here, it solves real issues people have, and it's now an option. Not a requirement, but an option.

This is (even more) aggro than I'd be about React (and, surprisingly, religion), but this line is the pure, uncut truth:
"React is useful for making complex interfaces like Facebook’s or for making otherwise simple interfaces, and their underlying codebases, complex like Facebook’s."
Christ on a cracker, @heydon; leave something for the rest of us!
Not much concrete stuff yet, but I've published the first post in my series about Using The Platform: dev.to/zkat/i-was-isekaid-into…
Over time, I'll fill this out with both what I've done so far, and with any interesting tidbits I'm figuring out along the way. I think it'll be a good exercise for me to document this stuff as its getting built from the ground up. The app is still really early, but I've still learned SO MUCH. I hope you do, too.

In light of the Internet Archive losing its appeal to hachette, I just wanted to point out some websites you should avoid:
* annas-archive.li/
* downmagaz.net/
* ebook-hunter.org/
* forcoder.net/
* freemagazines.top/
* liber3.eth.limo/
If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:
* libgen.is/
* oceanofpdf.com/
* pdfroom.com/
* pdfstop.com/
* pdfdrive.to/
* pdfmagazines.club/
* sci-hub.se/
* singlelogin.re/
* ... or any of the other sites listed at rentry.co/megathread-books

Jestliže vhazujeme PET lahve do žlutých kontejnerů, tak můžeme klidně víčka na lahvích nechat. Obsluha u třídících linek totiž víčka sundává. Důvod je prostý. Výkupní cena HDPE je totiž vyšší než u samotných PET lahví a též recyklace probíhá trochu jiným způsobem. Víčka mají všelijaké barvy a nejdráže se vykupují víčka červená.
Nakonec asi dává, čím víc se jim vrátí víček tím víc vydělají.
Backwards compatibility is alway tricky. The API methods are one thing, but behaviour is another. Just because an older curl never did a thing does not mean it will never start to.
In this case, the graceful connection shutdown involves operations outside of any application transfers. And some event-based applications are, understandably, surprised by that.

New fiction from me: What happened when we abolished borders.
"In the twilight of the 21st century, humanity was staring into the abyss of declining birthrates.
For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, our numbers as a species were declining every year. Capitalist economies premised on the assumption of infinite growth couldn't cope. Stock markets stagnated, inflation surged out of control. Governments had belatedly tried to address the problem, but every means of encouraging people to have kids—longer parental leave, tax breaks, cash payments, religious scolding—had failed.
Rural villages were emptying out, becoming ghost towns. Grass and weeds pushed up through cracked pavement in silent streets. Abandoned cars decayed on the roadside. Vacant houses were overgrown with vines, dry leaves and birds' nests. Trees sprouted like the vanguard of an invading army as forests spread and reclaimed the urban areas humanity had ceded."
