New hardcore #PDF rendering performance benchmark for #Poppler:
"Jesus Christ it's a #Lyon (map), get in the car!" 
That map takes 26 seconds to render with Poppler on #Linux, but only 6 seconds with PDFjs, or 15 seconds with XPDF: gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler…
I've profiled the issue on the various Poppler rendering backends, and there are some hypotheses about the slowness. If anyone can help fix this, that would be fantastic.

Hlavně za ty cesty a zahraniční politiku obecně.
To, že vám tam z toho #Fico dělá gulag, kde nejde ani bezpečně odejít z práce, když jsi lékař, mi je jako Vašemu sousedovi celkem fuk.
To, že vás rozkládá zevnitř mi sobecky je taky jedno - zvolili jste si to.
Ale to, že podobnej pitomec jezdí za hlavním nepřítelem #EU a #NATO, kterých je součástí - tohle z něj dělá bezpečnostní riziko pro mě, moje děti a EU obecně a to mi teda zatraceně vadí.
Všech myslících Slováků je mi líto...
no veď sa ti ani nečudujem.. je to na piču a v blízkej dobe to tak ešte stále bude, nie je vylúčené že Fico po tomto mandáte získa ďalší na ďalšie 4 roky, podľa mňa to je veľmi reálne. Ukľudnil som ťa? Nemal som to v pláne..

'Dad Baffled When 6-Year-Old Daughter Turns Off AI Function on High Tech Doll and Plays With It Like Regular Toy'

Psychiatrist: '"I think because it takes away control from the child," she wrote. "Play is how children work through emotions, impulses and conflicts [as] well as try out new behaviors. I would think [it] would be super irritating to have the toy shape and control your play — like a totally dominating playmate!"'

Element, the Matrix client:
"Let's have pin be right next to the edit button. And have both actions be transient and very tiny. You need to edit all the time, but hardly ever do pin, so let's make it so people constantly pin incorrect messages accidentally, instead of letting them easily correct a message."
(There are lots of other UI "papercuts" in the Element client, but this is one I'm constantly hitting.)
(Edit: Bug filed: github.com/element-hq/element-… )
Steps to reproduce Thanks for Matrix; I love the concept, but I do hit a lot of little frustrating "papercut" issues in Element every day, including accidentally pinning instead of editing. In Elem...GitHub

Hey Mastodon, het is tijd voor een #eXit.
Volt zit sinds kort op Mastodon en onze aanwezigheid zal hier alleen maar toenemen. Twitter was ooit een plek voor ideeën en inzichten, maar X is een politiek wapen dat onze democratie ondermijnt. Daarom zijn wij van X vertrokken. Samen bouwen we aan platforms die versterken in plaats van verdelen.

"Beispiellos" gewachsen: Facebook sperrt Links zu Instagram-Alternative Pixelfed
Seit Metas Ankündigung, Inhalte auf den eigenen Portalen anders zu moderieren, wächst Pixelfed stark. Nun ist aufgefallen, dass Facebook Links dorthin sperrt.

Einerseits schon sehr amüsant das Meta sich sowie das Geschäftsmodell von Instagram durch Pixelfed bedroht sieht und nun zu solchen unlauteren Maßnahmen greift. 😅😉
Anderseits ziemlich bedenklich in mehr als einer Hinsicht sowie wohl auch rechtlich, das Meta auf Instagram nun Links zu Pixelfed als Alternative sperrt und somit Zensur vom feinsten betreibt. 🖕🤮

Haha, so wahr wie traurig diese Zusammenfassung. 😅😩👍
Somit ist Meta mit dessen Diensten und Plattformen wohl auch in die Kategorie von "Plattform für alternative Fakten und Verteiler von Falschmeldungen" einzuordnen sowie vollendes zu meiden und blockieren.
Diese wichtige Erkenntnis manchen Nutzern und insbesondere bei Familie und Freunde verständlich zu machen sowie konsequent durchzusetzen, das könnte die wahre Herausforderung werden...🤔😭
