Neat, there is a whole host of @inkscape videos on various Peertube instances.

It feels like an unpopular opinion, but liking things is more fun than hating things, and talking about things you like will make you feel better about life than talking about things you hate.

@garrett @cassidyjames amusing tidbit: logging in to Gmail recently got added an invisible redirect through some YouTube account URL which broke logins because different sets of quirks are now needed in different stages of the page load for different domains, and we had to fix WebKit to support that kind of thing.

Somebody at Google deserves a slow and painful death. It's tremendously evil that one service gets notice when you were trying to login elsewhere

@garrett @cassidyjames Oh yes, that's definitely a User-Agent sniffing issue right there. Every now and then we make a fix for the list of User-Agent quirks that WebKit applies to different sites.

Google is among the biggest offenders, with many of their sites insisting in being shitty instead of doing proper feature detection. Also, different Google sites need different kinds of quirks, and they change relatively often 😥

Love this.

Pretty good explanation why wearing masks & keeping distance are a good thing.

Same thing applies to computer/internet security, btw.

Piglets are very bad at telling who their mom *isn't*, leading to scenarios like this happening quite often

Latin isn't a dead language; it's an old development snapshot of the Romance languages.

Church Latin is an LTS branch that's had a lot of maintenance work and the odd backport...

Alien film where Weyland-Yutani have domesticated the xenomorph by putting a little jingly bell on it that lets you know when it's coming

Idea for #Hacktoberfest: Instead of pushing code, you educate yourself on how software written by white men who do not listen to other people will never meet the needs of anyone.

Go read Technically Wrong, for instance. Or any of the billion posts, books and resources on the topic.

yeah linux is cool but does it have ransomware built in

Your regular reminder, as we head into US politics season once again, that CWs are good and anxiety isn’t praxis.
