I want something like callgrind but that will let me make a plot of function call depth vs. stack space consumed.

Librsvg consumes a lot of stack. I've been reducing it gradually, but finding the functions that could be putting temporary stuff in the heap is very manual work.

Bluesky Announces Series A to Grow Network of 13M+ Users October 24, 2024 by The Bluesky Team Bluesky now exceeds 13 million users, the AT Protocol developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped highly requested features like direct messages and video. We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised a $15 million Series A financing led by Blockchain Capital with participation from Alumni Ventures, True Ventures, SevenX, Amir Shevat of Darkmode, co-creator of Kubernetes Joe Beda, and others. Our lead, Blockchain Capital, shares our philosophy that technology should serve the user, not the reverse — the technology being used should never come at the expense of the user experience. Additionally, this fund has a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation and has extensive experience building developer ecosystems, so it’s a natural partnership as we continue to invest in the ATmosphere (the AT Protocol developer ecosystem). This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.). To ensure we and our users benefit fully from this expertise, partner Kinjal Shah will join our board. Kinjal shares our vision for a social media ecosystem that empowers the people who use it, and we are glad to have her supp

i do think the degree to which bluesky is stressing that they do not use blockchains really underscores how toxic even a faint whiff of blockchain has become to any normal platform

This is why I have been trying to warn about #BlueSky.

BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:

bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…

The board member is a bitcoin researcher involved with NFT analytics.

BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".

Mastodon is financed by crowdfunding instead of venture capital not because we don't know that venture capital exists, not because we don't have bills to pay, and not because venture capital isn't willing to give money to new social media platforms. VCs don't want a sustainable business, they want a big exit. Every VC-backed business is on a timer to deliver or die.

Life is a roller-coaster. It keeps getting stuck, frequently breaks down, no maintenance crew, has a couple of loose rails and someone threw up in one of the cars.

Search for the FISH pt. 4523

#unix_surrealism #technomage #cirno #9front #openbsd

Girl approaches a weird blue haired fairy (Cirno) wearing a bulletproof vest, accompanied by a rabbit-creature. Girl inquires about 'the FISH', showing the fairy a rugged hand-drawn picture, of a spiky circle. Cirno examines the drawing. Cirno: "The FISH... Yeah, we know it. I'll tell you where to find it... But just so you know, there will eventually come a time when you'll seek the rabbit instead."

This makes me want to scream and pull out my hair.

"Reduce your vocabulary by 10-20% to prove you're a human."

Dr. Damien P. William... Remember how i told y'all that text written by neurodivergent peeps would likely have a higher false positive rate on "Al" checkers because masking means they are likely to engage in careful and specific word choice and that that would show up in text as "unnatural?" This is more of that. Quoting Mike Masnick: Kid has an English assignment, where school has kids first submit essay to an "Al checker." Kid did not use Al. Al checker says the use of the word "devoid" magically turned essay into 18% Al written. Changing "devoid" makes it drop to 0%. We're spending time "un-Al-ing" an essay that has no Al.

On my way back from the glide demo. It was quite interesting. The prototype they had did not have all of the talking features like the one in the video, but I got to get a feel for walking with it at least indoors. Ergonomically it felt quite natural to hold the handle. Walking felt similar yet different to walking with a dog. I felt like I was able to go at a pretty comparable pace to walking with my cane. I got to speak with the founders and provide them with feedback. I can’t wait to see where this goes and try it out next year.

Wonder if any other #Blind #iOS 18.2 beta 1 users are seeing a serious #VoiceOver regression?
I suspect this relates to a specific kind of list control, but in certain apps, as I flick left or right through items, VoiceOver just goes silent on certain items. Sometimes, if you flick left to the previous item and then right to get back to the item that wasn’t speaking before, you hear the item, at other times you don’t, and the only way to hear the currently focussed item is to perform a three-finger single tap.
I am seeing this after trying several voices, and making a few other changes that I thought might work around the problem. So far, I haven’t found a fix.
I am seeing this in a list of articles in the Lire RSS Reader, it’s happening a little here in Mona, and it is also reproduceable if I go into VoiceOver settings and flick through the items in the What’s New in VoiceOver screen.
It is speech only. If you have a Braille display connected, you can read the item in Braille even when VoiceOver doesn’t speak it.
I’d be curious to know if others are seeing it, because if it is widespread, it could be a reason for those who rely heavily on their iPhones to give the public beta a miss assuming this first build goes out to public beta.

We fight for our rights to vote. Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) help blind people vote privately and independently. However, our surveys show that one-third of all poll workers do not know how to operate BMDs and that some blind and low-vision voters are not familiar with BMD accessibility features. So, to solve this problem, we have produced videos that demonstrate how to use BMDs. You can watch the videos at nfb.org/vote

Who at the #BBC made the decision to give a platform to "Hello. I'm Michael Gove...."?

Was it Tory Tim, the DG? Or maybe Robbie Gibb on the Board, former propagandist to Theresa May?

We've only just got rid of the odious Vote Leave creep, because he was too cowardly to face his constituents.

He's an EMPLOYEE of the owner of GBNews, and editor of the Tory in-house magazine. Let him use those platforms to try & rehabilitate himself. Not our licence-funded state broadcaster.
