spent some time today working on this diagram of how the ASCII control characters work in unix

there are a lot of mistakes/missing nuance but I think it's really interesting how little structure there is. Special codes (like `3` for SIGINT) that are handled by the OS are mixed with just regular keypresses (like `13` for "enter”) which are mixed with codes that are handled by the application (like `1` for Ctrl-A in readline)

(not looking for an ASCII history lesson right now)

#Catima 2.32.1 is out!

This fixes a regression in 2.32.0 which could break text display in the add dialog in non-English languages which I sadly missed in review: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

It also contains some translation updates that were submitted between the last release and just now.

Coming soon to an app store near you :)

How to turn the new Mac mini on/off.

This is not a joke. I repeat, I’m not joking

Democrats on #Twitter are shocked—shocked!—to discover that a mysterious cloak of invisibility has descended over their messages.

me: *attempts to clone the workshop repo locally on a lab machine set up in the room*

HTTP clone: *auth errors*

`gh clone`: *timeout*

hubber: "why are you trying to clone locally? You can run CodeSpaces in your browser."

We believe in the ability of Mastodon to create distinct, cohesive communities while also being able to talk to the world, so we’re excited to see people signing up for our inaugural meet-up via Zoom. There's still time to get the deets.

It’s happening this Saturday at 4 PM US Eastern time, 20 UTC. That’s currently 8 PM in the UK, 9 AM on Sunday in New Zealand, 7 AM in Eastern Australia.
This get together is open to CaneAndAble members. If you would like the Zoom link, please send a direct message to this account from your CaneAndAble account, and we’ll ensure you have the link in good time for the event.
Lynette and Jonathan will talk a bit about the instance and answer any questions or take your suggestions. Then we’ll just open it up for a conversation between all the members who attend. We’re particularly interested in getting questions or comments about making the most of mastodon, using Mastodon apps on various platforms, and other ActivityPub services.
We’re really looking forward to it. See you on Saturday.

@panoramax The number of 'panoramax'-tags has suddenly skyrocketed. Maybe cause I've moved about 10K pictures?

Where does the mastodon #embroidery crew hang out?

I've been playing around with art, and I wanna get inspired and chat with y'all.

Hi! I’m a software engineer with more than 15 years experience looking for my next role.

For the last 3 years, I’ve worked in a primarily #Erlang environment, but I really love #Elixir (and have professional experience with it), and I have a lot of #Python experience.

If you’re at #AllThingsOpen and hiring, DM me, and we can meet up.

Located near Washington, DC, USA. Remote preferred. Only authorized to work in USA.

Vamos a ver si Mastodon tiene magia.

Este es Cas, de la protectora Biosbardos de Ponteareas, Galicia.

En 2015 apareció atropellado, perdió las patas delantera y trasera derecha, les sugirieron practicarle la eutanasia.

Cas salió adelante y es un perro maravilloso, pero se está haciendo mayor y necesita suplir las dos plantas que le faltan.

Necesitan una silla de ruedas especial para él, hace falta primero diseñarla.

¿Alguien el la sala capaz de diseñar algo para que Cas pueda descansar sus pobres patas y moverse?

The new Mac Mini looks great, wow. New chip, 16GB base memory, five USB-C ports (three with Thunderbolt), and probably minimal fan noise. That $599 base model will be a better computer than almost every desktop PC under $1,000, as long as you're okay with macOS.

Apple’s all-new Mac mini is more mighty, more mini, and built for Apple Intelligence

Apple today unveiled the all-new Mac mini powered by the M4 and new M4 Pro chips, and redesigned around Apple silicon so it’s even smaller.
