A reminder that if you're interested in #SVG and the #WebStandards process, and specifically about trying to get SVG standardization back into gear, there is an open meeting on the topic today. It's hosted by Eric Meyer ( @Meyerweb ) of Igalia, as part of W3C Breakouts Day.
Starts in 5.5 hours. You'll need a w3.org account to sign up; meeting is via zoom with irc chat.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards.W3C
Rough minutes from the #SVG session, if you were interested but couldn't call in:
w3.org/2025/03/26-svg-neglect-…
There will also be a video of Eric's opening presentation.
We didn't come up with any grand solutions in 1 hour, but I think there was a loose consensus on the following priorities:
- Getting a published SVG standard that is consistent with browser SVG implementations.
- Creating a comprehensive test suite to identify interop issues.
- Using smaller feature module specs in future.
I'm the maintainer of librsvg (it will turn 25 years old next year; rsvg-convert is used "everywhere" for secure-static rendering more or less).
Is there a way to get involved in these conversations?

If the W3C flattens (i.e. destroys) document SVG; then Inkscape will have no choice but to fork the standard.
The domination by Browsers and what they choose or fail to implement is a serious problem. That no SVG creators were involved in this discussion is damning and furthers the rift between SVG as a document standard and SVG as a CSS add-on.
Thanks for the at FMQ. 👍
@federicomena You can subscribe to the github repository issues.
github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues
There's also the public email list, www-svg@w3.org, but the only messages it gets most months are automated github issue summaries:
lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/
If you're interested in committing more time & energy you could apply to be an invited expert on the SVG working group.
But really, the reason for this one-off session was that all productive discussions on SVG standardization has stalled.

@doctormo Thanks, maybe indeed I should pay more attention to the repo's issues. I have looked at some of them in the past, but haven't really had anything to contribute.
My personal interest is in clarifying some things in the spec - but I'd have to trawl through librsvg's bug tracker to find places where we mention such things :)
(Also getting one or two features finalized, so librsvg can have parity with Inkscape - gradient meshes come to mind.)
@federicomena @doctormo It would certainly be helpful if you could file issues against the SVG spec whenever you run up against something that is unspecified, unclear, inconsistent, or just plain wrong.
However, do be aware that for a few years there really hasn't been anyone doing anything with those issues & it might be a while yet before that changes.
Also, apparently the build system is broken & editorial fixes that have been merged in the repo aren't showing up even on the Editor's Draft.
@federicomena @doctormo And to be clear, spec issues would still be useful despite all that because:
They provide a record for whenever someone is working on it again.
They provide evidence that there is still a demand for a better SVG spec, from devs working on all sorts of projects.
Not ideal, no, but yeah, if you have the time to at least post cross-links to your own bug tracker, it will hopefully make a difference eventually.
GObject bindings for Zig using GObject introspection - ianprime0509/zig-gobjectGitHub
@markasspandi @julia Currently it's basically the C APIs with some adjustments and a few useful helpers. There are a few warts where the generated bindings don't line up with what the C types expect (e.g. C wanting a null terminated list of strings and the Zig API not being null terminated), but you can write a C app with slightly prettier code.
Like Julia pointed out though, there's potential to build on comptime to make the C APIs nicer to work with.
@julia @markasspandi In some cases there's less boilerplate, and in some cases there's more.
Regardless of the boilerplate, you do things that make your code very reminiscent of C code, like this: gitlab.gnome.org/BrainBlasted/…
In Rust you can capture multiple values in a closure and use them that way. In zig you have to wrap them in a heap-allocated struct like you would in C.

If any journalist going to WWDC is reading this, I would love it if you could press folks involved with App Review to give a statement on what their plan is for when armed DOGE agents extrajudicially seize the app store's datacenters in order to deploy tracking software to migrants & trans people's phones.
Not a shitpost; this is a serious question. This is not a plan that we will get to develop after the fact. Do they have a hot spare of their trust root in a different jurisdiction?

I studied #German for 4 years in high school, but eventually gave it up because I didn't find it useful. All the Germans I met at university and conferences spoke English.
This is certainly not the case for people in the #car sales industry. When I bought a BMW in #Germany 10 years ago, it was a big official dealer and there was only one person who could speak English with me. Now I'm buying an Audi, it's again a big official dealer and there's no one who speaks English. We're negotiating a €25k deal with the help of translators. 🙂

"It's for your own good"
Google says this change will simplify things for developers and OEMs.Ryan Whitwam (Ars Technica)
If you run a program that's deterministic, then by definition, your experiences with that program will be typical of its expected behavior. There's some important nuance there about making sure that the input you provide is the input you mean to provide, hence reproducible builds, containerization, etc.
But still, that's by contrast with programs whose behavior is inherently stochastic. There, it's easy to fool yourself into believing the program "works" when you just got lucky.
That's part of the problem with "I tried an LLM and it worked, therefore LLMs are useful." It takes a lot more than trying things out to reach that conclusion.
I've used the analogy of a Vegas slot machine before; if all you see are people getting good results out of LLMs, it's easy to believe that's the typical mode of operation.
Relevant article: LLMs use a lot of the same techniques as psychics' "cold reading" to convince people they know more than they do.

Today is my birthday and the release on my album on audiotape and VHS!
"Objectivity" is an audiovisual critical study of the western industrial paradigm that sees nature as something that can be analyzed, tamed and counted.
Side A is a deep drone trip through analogous soundscapes. Side B is a versatile compilation, from a post-punk song "Predmet" to a musique concrete opus Holo Electron using a weird French machine from 1960s that is supposed to heal all your pain using electromagnetic waves. "Proctor" is a drone walk through the northern sea using analogous wooden synthesizers made by a friend of mine from Karelia. "Dissolution of Hierarchy" is a drone hymn to equity of all sounds.
The album can be purchased as a hard copy or downloaded for free or for a donation here:

TL;DR Delta Chat is not a classic e-mail client. It uses special messages to co-ordinate encryption, metadata and group interactions and now edit/delete. Delta Chat implements a Peer-to-Peer messaging paradigm without any server state.
