Ever edit a PDF in MacOS Preview and have it mysteriously go password protected, effectively locking you out?
It's been a bug for at least two years, and the workaround I've found is to edit the PDF in Chrome instead – which you can still do even after the MacOS password has been inflicted on it. Which I have many questions about.
PDF is the gift that keeps on giving.
@ben it's caused by "I want to install a package but not reboot". And then the need to unlock because I need to patch live to test the shit I'm working on.
Maybe instead I should have reinstalled Workstation. Would have save me so much trouble.
Accrescent 0.24.0 is out with settings menu accessibility improvements, target SDK 35 (Android 15), and LOTS of translation and dependency updates! 🎉

Today I learned that somebody has created an "ethically sourced Lena image" and I dunno what I expected but this man is doing God's work.

Пару месяцев назад на форуме LowEndTalk увидел фантастическую акцию - давали Storage VPS с 4Тб за 3,30 Евро в месяц.
Пока я думал брать или не брать акция завершилась, тред закрыли.
Я полез зарегался на их сайте и написал титькет в техподдержку, что мол вот опоздал на 5 минут, а сильно хочу такую VPS.
Мне ответили, что таких больше нет, есть за 3,50. Я согласился. Потом меня расспросили какую ОС я хочу и т.п. Я ответил.
На месяц они пропали, титькет висел открытым.
Вчера приходит автописьмо, что мол дорогой клиент, мы извиняемся за какие-то неполадки, теперь будет всё хорошо, радовайтесь! А вот ещё промо какое-то.
Я уже забыл что это за хостер такой, полез логиниться. Вижу, что висит титькет, вспомнил историю.
Написал в титькет, что "ну так можно мне что-то такое?".
Сегодня ответили, сразу создали мне VPS с 4CPU, 6GB RAM, 4TB+100GB для OS.
Я просто окуел! И всё это за 3,33 (или 4,20 евро с VAT).
Такие дела :)

Normal authors: release book to the public early in the week, with much fanfare.

Si, lo que no te dicen es que la vista se sigue deteriorando y lo más seguro es que vuelvas a usar lentes.
Por otro lado, casi podría apostar que tampoco requiere la graduación que tuvo previo a operación. (Lo sé porque uno de mis hermanos está igual, se operó hace como ~15 años y dice que otra vez está ceguetas, pero como ~7X menos).
Igual terminé operandome porque la 🐨 terminó rompiendo los lentes que yo no rompí en 10 años 
Мне вот любопытно насколько ёботно на стеке Дотнет реализовать микросервисную архитектуру со всеми её service discovery, gateway и прочим присущим. Но никак не доберусь изучить данный вопрос, может даже что-то накидать. Просто как это в Spring происходит знаю, делал, участвовал в распиле.
Прикол в том что с NVDA ведёт себя нормально, а с Jaws 2022 нечто странное.
Ох да, MyMouse же к железу привязан. Из-за этого не мог на виртуалке поставить, когда было нужно. Приспосабливался к Вокалайзеру кое-как.
А ты с чем живёшь где MyMouse не поставить?
Time for that "Looking for work!" post, I guess!
Unfortunately, my current role is impacted by Amazon's move to mandatory co-location for teams, and my family is far too settled in Brooklyn to move away now. So after 7 years at Amazon, I'm starting the search.
I'm looking for a new role as a Front-end engineer/Design technologist/UX Engineer. I like design systems. And CSS. And accessibility. Love those things.

Ok, the bots are officially better at those CAPTCHA images than me, with a large margin. Clearly, they know where that motorcycle stops and consequently which squares should be checked - I don’t.
each time I get asked feedback about a website that asked me to solve a captcha, I give the lowest rating possible and explain why.
With a little luck somebody will read it.
When we lived in Vancouver, we would Skytrain to the airport every time we traveled.
Should we transit to the airport for our next flight? Oh right, we need to walk + take three different buses to get to Ottawa airport.
But Quebec city hasn't been promising to extend the metro to the airport for DECADES.
They are building the *second* station right now. What happened to the first? It was stuck in the cowardice of the Governments and their glossy report on our dime.
I don't know that throwing soup at a famous painting, knowing it's behind glass and will be perfectly safe, is a super effective form of climate protest.
But it is sinister how many liberals will laugh and say they had it coming when they get 2 years in prison for something they acknowledge was trivial.

A new beta for Fractal, message pinning in Element X, and c++ bindings for vodozemac. That and more happened This Week In Matrix!
Alright, finally got a new laptop.
(the old one was still plenty quick, I don't think it's even 10 years old - but I just cannae cope with a display that's only 768 miserly pixels tall)
Got me a Lenovo X1 Thinkpad Yoga, 'cause I do miss my old draw-on-the-screen Tecra M4. 1440 pixels tall. Still only 16:10, the new 3:2 laptops are still too expensive for my tastes, but we're finally moving in the right direction (vertically).
Anyway it turned up today and I'm optimistic even though I have some grumbles; the screen's reflective as hell and there's absolutely no reason for this thing to be as thin and flimsy as it is, but I guess that's just the modern way, all hardware now feels like it needs a pat on the shoulder and a nice big sandwich.
Anyway on my old convertibles, you've swivel the screen 180 degrees perpendicular to the base and then fold it down. With this one, you just open it as normal, and then KEEP opening it, until the back of the screen is flush with the back of the base.
Unexpected problem that I really should have anticipated: this way of going to tablet mode means the keyboard and touchpad are now on the back, and there's no way to pick this thing up without pressing a bunch of keys.
I'm about to install an OS, will whatever flavour of ubuntu be clever enough to disable keyboard and mouse when this thing's folded all the way open?
Every time I booted up it'd pop up some notification about the onscreen keyboard being misconfigured, with a suggestion on how to fix it that was Extremely Linux (bollock about with some file that it's telling me to mess with (well why the hell can't it mess with it itself)) and looked too exhausting to be worth the effort to fix vs just closing the notification each time
The top panel, which I'd set to auto-hide, would open every time I rotated the screen
They're still doing that ridiculous thing where every app starts with a K and has a blue icon and they expect you to find the program you want in an alphabetical list
At some point the screen magnifier started opening by itself on every boot despite not being in my list of startup applications, and when I searched for how to stop that from happening I got some more Extremely Linux chatter about how you could modify some configuration file and disable it and this was for accessibility, well fair enough but surely, SURELY the best way to do this would be "Pop up the magnifier once and just ASK ME if I want it to pop up every time, and if I say yes, stick it in the list of startup applications, and if I say no, then... don't do that?"
Loads of other stuff too minor to bring up, but generally lots of little embuggerances that add up to me trying Mint with Cinammon and finding it to be, well, Fine.
Screen scaling works, touchscreen controls work, scrolling was upside down but there's a checkbox you can untick to not have the scrolling upside down, it's Generally Fine.
And honestly Generally Fine is what I want, KDE always feels cutting-edge and ahead of the competition and full of new ideas and exciting but also really glitchy and you have to mess around with it a whole bunch.
I want a boring desktop environment that gets out of the way of the programs I run on it, y'know?
probably soon be replaced with chagpt and a monthly subscription to be able to search my messages...
