Denise Prudhomme's bosses at Wells Fargo insisted that the in-person camaraderie of their offices warranted a mandatory return-to-office policy, but when she died at her desk in her Tempe, AZ office, no one noticed for four days.

Librsvg 2.59.1 is out! This is a stable release, with two mitigations for bugs found through oss-fuzz.
Librsvg now tries to catch shapes with coordinates that would overflow Cairo's computations, and avoids rendering them.

I'll backport this and release 2.58.5 too.

macOS Vista has been released it seems.
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.

Oh fucking great SilverBlue
@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.
Normal authors: release book to the public early in the week, with much fanfare.

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.
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.

It's time for Discussion Friday again~!
I woke up really hungry so in my quest to make everyone as hungry as I am, we're going to talk about food.
Does reading make you hungry? Have you read a particular good description of food or cooking in a c-novel* that made you salivate? Or perhaps you've read something that sounds absolutely atrocious (which makes you want to try it for Science). Did anything you read inspire you to cook, or seek that dish out?
Share them and let's make everyone hungry!
*feel free to very loosely interpret c-novel here for Discussion Friday, e.g., Chinese web-novels, Chinese novels, Chinese novellas/short stories, other language novels translated into Chinese, novels by Chinese (nationality or diaspora) published in non-Chinese language
Darl McBride has passed away. If you are a Linux fan/advocate/user of a certain age, that name probably stirs some feelings - none of them good.
The SCO debacle was a real eye-opener about the depths that people are willing to go to for money. There's cut-throat, take-no-prisoners business... and then there's outright shameless malfeasance.
It was, at least for me, the end of starry-eyed optimism that FOSS would change the world without being changed by it in return.
