Inspired by @kees and @bagder I graphed #ArkScript source code age (last 3.x version is from mid 2023 hence the big purple triangle starting in 2023)

There seems to be a lot of code, but tests are counted too.
16'540 lines for the source code only, and 12'430 for the tests (8k dedicated to the fuzzing corpus, 4k for the unit tests)

I attribute the big jump to my recent "add tests everywhere" addiction

Graph of ArkScript source code age. It starts in 2019 with less than 20k lines, goes up to 25k at the start of 2021, and then dips to 16k soon after. Then it goes slowly up again in 2021, 2022, and 2023, reaching 25k again by the end of the year. A big jump is observed from 2023 to 2024, taking the line count to 37k as of writing. Code from 2019 and 2020 slowly gets replaced by 2021 code, and 2022 code is added but then gets replaced quickly by 2024 code. Not much code was added in 2023 but it stays the same quantity.

Ayer, en la red social mala, anunciamos desde Acción Contra el Odio que estamos preparando una denuncia contra quienes promovieron la agresión a Pedro Sánchez en Paiporta, reivindicada por grupos neonazis.

Horas después, la web de CTXT fue atacada. No solo han tirado el sitio, también nos han borrado todos los ficheros. Agradecemos toda difusión y apoyo.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has put online 492,000 high-resolution images of artistic works.

Even better, the museum has placed the vast majority of these images into the public domain, meaning they can be downloaded directly from the museum’s website for non-commercial use.

When you browse the Met collection and find an image that you fancy, just look at the lower left-hand side of the image.

If you see an “OA” icon and the words “public domain”, you’re free to use the image, provided that you abide by the Met’s terms.

In making this collection available online, the Met joined other world-class museums in putting large troves of digital art online.

Witness the 88,000 images from the Getty in L.A.,
the 125,000 Dutch masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum,
the 50,000 artistic images from the National Gallery,
and the 1.9 million images from the British Museum.

RIP Quincy Jones.

Legendary music producer behind hits from Sinatra to Michael Jackson.

I know I'm alone in this, but I think "Billie Jean" was a more iconic and transformative Quincy Jones song than "Thriller." First time we saw the Michael Jackson moonwalk!

The real genius of “Thriller” is that it is 4 minutes of warnings about horrible scary monsters and then bang: fooled you, all that was a clever ruse to get you to hold me tight, kiss me, I will take care of you, protect you, love you, thrill you, this is a pop song, I am the King of Pop, what were you expecting?

But Billie Jean is a perfect song. And identifiable immediately after the first kick and snare of the intro.

There’s a dirty Trump trick you need to look out for. He used it in 2020 to try to overturn the election, and he’s going to do it again. But it doesn’t work if you know it’s coming.

Watch out for Trump to exploit something elections experts call the “red mirage” to prematurely declare victory before all the votes are counted.

You see, in almost every election, Republicans appear to take an early lead. That’s the red mirage.

Then that lead gets smaller throughout… instagram.com/p/DB9oGT9py7R/?u…

🚨🚨🚨 ARIZONA VOTERS — It’s been reported that thousands of early voters in Pima County returned only the first page of their two-page ballot. This is important because Prop 139 for Abortion Access is on page 2. Please don’t make the same mistake when you vote in person. Please share with AZ folks.

Saw the following on the comment thread where I learned about the 64 MB RAM requirement for OpenWrt (where I also commented):

> These days I mostly write code for systems with 256 KiB of RAM, so struggling with 64 MiB seems a bit excessive.

Just now, I wish I had chosen to work on that kind of embedded software. I guess I still could, at least as a side project. I know I'm doing important work where I'm at though, even if I have to tolerate the unconstrained excess of Electron and the like.

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub

You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.

It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

Read at: fediversereport.com/a-conceptu…

One of the main subjects of discussion recently has been whether Bluesky is decentralised and if it is federated. I think answering these questions requires a clarity on how ATProto differs conceptually from ActivityPub. Decentralisation and federation are valued for how they impact power structures, but there are multiple ways to build other power structures in open social networks. A bit of the summary at the top, since that might help during reading: The conceptual model of ActivityPub resembles that of email: independent servers sending messages to each other. The conceptual model of ATProto resembles that of the web: independent sites publish data, and indexers aggregate this data into different views and apps.

A conceptual model of ATProto and ActivityPub

If you were to design an open social networking protocol, what would that look like? Which metaphors and comparisons would you use to get a general idea of how the network functions? And what would you answer if people ask if your network is decentra…

Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩

Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨
Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs.
Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎

Stay tuned! :xmpp:

gtk.org

#gajim #xmpp #chat #gtk4

A message input with a popover showing a list of group chat participants which can be mentioned. The message input contains "@ca", which triggers a popover with group chat participants filtered by "ca".

Hugh Nelson sentenced to actual prison for creating AI-generated images of children. Fascinating case on multiple levels. But the fact remains that he received a longer sentence than if he had actually raped a child...because of AI. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq6l24…

Hugh Nelson, who used software to create images, told police he was "very corrupted and warped".
