I'm introducing limits per test case in #curl test suite to make sure we don't unintentionally accidentally suddenly use many more allocations or much more concurrent memory than we can allow.

The idea here is to set limits per test how many allocations and maximum amount of memory it is allowed to use. This is a means to make sure the number and total size of allocations are kept in che...GitHub

Hey folks. I've noticed #DeltaChat hasn't got a page in #Wikipedia. Do you know sources which would prove its notability so we could create a page for it?
Boosts appreciated. If you don't know sources, someone else might.

Are you still on #Spotify?
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.
And don’t forget:
• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).
And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.
Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

Make no mistake. This is a USA automaker and oil company hit job on the independence and sovereignty of the Canadian economy.
They are trying to reverse the inevitable so they can continue their own businesses as usual for as long as possible.
It can't be allowed to happen. Canada is already lagging far behind other nations. Our Economy and our Society and our burning forests, will suffer if our government gives in to this pressure.
Canada does *not* have a EV manufacturing base to protect - and only if there is significant competition and take up here in Canada will there ever be one. Nor should we be the gatekeeper for the US, who have shown to do us no favours.

It works, but I don't expect it to get any huge updates anymore. The way foward is probably to switch to Compose and see which libraries are available there.

This year, there appear to be even more fireworks on my street. Which seems weird given both the tariffs and the fact these are a Chinese invention which are made in China, and the folks setting them off around here are very much ‘America first’.
Because the folks setting them off don’t seem to care about their neighbors nor neighbors’ dogs.

In case anybody needs to configure ASCII Braille support on their Mac for some reason, here's how:
1. Go to Voice Over Utility -> menu -> File -> Export Preferences
2. A save dialog will appear, pick a location on disk somewhere and save the file.
3. Open the file you just saved in any text editor. TextEdit should be good enough.
4. Find the following line:
<key>SCRCUserDefaultsBrailleTableGuideItems</key>
Use your editor's find feature (usually command + f) to do this.
5. Below this line, you should have a line containing <array>, followed by a few lines beginning with <string>, followed by </array>
6. Somewhere inbetween the <array> and </array>, make a new blank line and insert the following text:
<string>com.apple.scrod.braille.table.liblouis.ascii</string>
7. Save the file.
8. In VO Utility, go to Menu -> File -> Import preferences.
9. Pick the file you just edited, agree to replace preferences.
10. Congratulations, ASCII Braille should now be in your Braille table list.
