In case anyone who cares missed this, based on user feedback, I updated my AxSHammer Firefox add-on to add "Kill all aria-label" and "Kill all ARIA roles". As always, this could do as much harm as it does good, so if it breaks anything, you get to treasure all the little pieces. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…

New entry in my “uses” page:

usvg is an SVG compiler, and one of the most under-appreciated tools I use. It compiles complex SVGs into simpler path-based SVGs. Edge-case SVGs may render incorrectly in some renderers (e.g. librsvg), but compiling them with usvg tends to iron these edge-cases out and make them more compatible. usvg is part of the resvg project, which is the most conformant SVG renderer I know of (and much smaller than librsvg if you include dependencies!).

I’ve sent all the SVGs on seirdy.one through usvg, and rasterized many of the emotes on pleroma.envs.net with resvg.

(sorry for the delete-redraft; I posted the wrong link and the link preview didn’t update when I edited!)

Librsvg 2.58.93 is out!

This is for the GNOME 47 beta release.

There's a new Rust crate, librsvg-rebind, courtesy of @sophie, which lets you use the system's librsvg shared library from Rust via a generated binding. It's different from the idiomatic Rust API, but it saves you binary size if you can assume that librsvg.so is already in the system.

Also, a bunch of dependency updates and build fixes.

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg…


2.58.93 - development · GNOME / librsvg · GitLab

Version 2.58.93 librsvg crate version 2.59.0-beta.3 The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.78.0. ...

@wezm I'm generally of the opinion that "code has to live somewhere" and that hard drives are cheap... but for example, there was a genuine concern from people who use librsvg as part of an AWS lambda and binaries must be small there - they wanted to remove the legacy gdk-pixbuf functions, which they don't use.

For flatpaks, size doesn't matter much, but for Loupe it does make sense to just use the runtime's shared librsvg instead of embedding it in the app's binary.

Fluffy Coke sounds fun. Just don’t drink it. "...The marshmallow, of course, doesn’t mix with the soda for that dairy-fizzy interplay that the people oohing about it online seem to imply. Instead, when the sugary fluff comes in contact with the icy soda, it seizes up into a hardened goo, like tile mastic drying on a wall...." washingtonpost.com/food/2024/0…

I see Vance has chosen party (racism) over family.

(He has bi-racial kids and is clearly signaling they are allowed to identify with only one ethnicity and how they speak will be a measure of how well they match that ethnicity, which you can be sure he will assert is ‘white’).

Ref: washingtonpost.com/politics/20…

Asked if he questions Harris’s racial identity, Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), said the former president’s comments Wednesday were aimed at portraying the vice president as “a chameleon” on policy issues. “What I question is why she presents a different posture, depending on which audience that she’s in front of,” he said. Vance also accused Harris of using a Southern accent and referred to her teenage years when she lived in Canada. “Kamala Harris grew up in Canada,” he said. “They don’t talk like that in Vancouver or Quebec or wherever she came from.”

Trump attacks Harris’s Black identity. Harris says Americans ‘deserve better.’

Donald Trump also berated a Black reporter who questioned him about his record of offensive comments about Black people.

A new #law goes into effect today in #Louisiana that will make it a misdemeanor for anyone, including #journalists, to be within 25 feet of a police officer if the officer orders them back.

Louisiana is the 4th state to enact one of these so-called #police "buffer laws," which allow officers to order people to keep their distance.
