Some impressive test results from
@PatMeenan about Compression Dictionaries (just approved to ship in Chrome!):
github.com/WICG/compression-di…

Unlike traditional gzip or brotli usage, this allows compression ACROSS requests.

So app-v1.js could be reused when downloading app-v2.js so only the differences are downloaded basically.

Or a separate dict could be used to compress similar pages (e.g. those using same templates or layout) so they basically only include page-specific content.

A new version is out!

We have:

- A changelog! github.com/pietervdvn/MapCompl…
- hovering a mapillary-image reveals where the picture was taken
- Selecting nearby pictures can now be done by seeing where those images were taken on the map
- Some fixes and improvements to mapcomplete.org/notes.html
- mapcomplete.org/disaster_respo… now shows police offices (and some other police amenities) and many more objects (such as healthcare, AEDs, ...)

A part of the MapComplete interface. It shows a map on the left, with a drinking water icon and a green "picture" icon, which is where a picture was taken
THe interface to link images, showing many green dots indicating where pictures were taken. The pictures are shown above

Quite some years ago (2006-08), we brought the #OLPC AKA the 100$ laptop to Ethiopia as pilot. A surprising thing happened. The laptops were often without battery power in the morning. A thing that wasn’t anticipated. It had two reasons. One was the keyboard LED (it was removed in later series). It was used by the parents to have a light at home. The other was a bigger surprise. The parents used the mesh networking to discuss market prices for their produce. Fascinating. 1/8

Walking home from the donut shop.

9yo: Which of us is your favorite?

Me: I love you both infinitely.

13yo: I call the infinity of the reals!

9yo: …what?

*fifteen minutes later*

Me: So how many integers are there between 1 and 10? …and how many reals between 0 and 1?

9yo: Can we not talk about this anymore? It’s getting weird.

#MartinLutherKing leitete für die aktuelle Situation eine starke #Vison von den alten biblischen Texten ab. Ähnlich wie #FriedrichSchorlemmer
Das hat mich und manch anderen in der #DDR sehr geprägt und viel #Kraft gegeben. Es entfaltete seine #Wirkung weit über die hinaus, die diese Texte üblicherweise rezipierten. Ich denke, das hatte schon einen Anteil an den gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen.
Ich bin #MichaelHaspel sehr dankbar, dass er das neu in Erinnerung ruft. Das Eule Gespräch dazu hat mir Hoffnung gegeben. Danke @rockToamna@mastodon.social

New place means it's time for a new #introduction!

Hi there, I'm Jules. Been running Linux since 2010 (first encountered it in 2009) and Haiku alongside it since 2020. Some folks may know me from across the rest of the internet under various aliases; find out about those from Meanderspace's The WWW page:
meander.site/www

I've contributed to various open-source projects over the years, primarily with packaging (HaikuPorts, openSUSE, KDE Flatpaks), artwork (Haiku Community wallpapers, Budgie Backgrounds, KDE Konqi artworks, etc.), and
ports for Haiku (VVVVVV, Sonic Robo Blast 2, SDL Sopwith, etc.) from time to time.

Also a big foodie who likes to cook, likes exploring less well-known technology (hence the Haiku stuff), and always looking to learn more. Oh, also a big fan of theming in general; theming is a digital extension of a person and is an artform which should be recognised as such! Alright, that's enough rambling on from me for now.

Konqi with a big smile carrying a lot of things in a box, from a left-side profile perspective. The box has a GPU, globe, paintbrush with blue paint, mail envelope from mail@kde.org addressed to a KDE user, black pen, notepad with a simplified KDE logo, KDE cards, pink KDE smartphone, green book, and DSLR camera lens.

It's so silly that when I type out what really happened vs the lie, you won't believe that most white people in the Bay Area, and in the US, believed the racist lie. Many still do.

What really happened:
* SF had too many drug stores. Many chains were losing money.
* So there was consolidation. But the buying firms now owned too many stores in SF. They literally wrote in earnings reports that they planned to close many stores.
* Then the pandemic happened. Foot traffic dropped.

What people believed:
* There were a few videos of homeless folk running out of drug stores with trash bags full of toiletries and candy, like toothbrushes and snickers bars. Of course, all of the videos of homeless folk that made national news, featured Black shoplifters.
* The drug stores closed their stores as part of their merger plan, as they promised they would.
* Racists said the Black shoplifters made the drug stores unprofitable! Not the billions in lost pharmacy revenue.🤡
