In terms of accessible #UX for neurodiversity, one of the wonders of @Mastodon in my experience is the ability to remember things I saw in my timeline in a consistent order.

The fact I can often rebuild thought processes just by moving through the timeline again is something I missed from real-world environments.

On other platforms, one click will result in a re-randomization of the posts interleaved by viral slop, which keeps bombing the attention span back to zero.

Please keep it this way.

@maryjane I have a very vivid memory from some 15 years ago of hacking on the system GSM daemon's Python code debugging an elusive issue and having a strong aha moment while sitting on the back of a 105Na tram tapping the Freerunner's tiny screen 馃槃

So I just found a build of my 20 year old game stored on some CD-R in a shoe box, and then I found myself fixing what appears to be a 25 year old regression in Wine's MIDI implementation that prevents music from playing on some of its levels.

I think I just got nerdsniped by myself from 20 years ago.

@vmaurin @newbyte The alternative would be to report this to phoc's bugtracker when you noticed 馃槈 But no need to anymore, I believe this should fix it: gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p

@vmaurin @newbyte What's the problem? Doesn't swiping from the bottom (or top) edge work?

Don't say you've used a Linux phone if you haven't 100%'d Animatch (it only took me like two years)

@mort @typeswitch @eniko You only need three symbols to encode Whitespace semantics. Use native BOM for one symbol, and non-native BOM as a prefix to either of them for two more symbols.

Read someone claiming that "today's kids are the first native digital generation". As that was said about my generation as well, and I have my own kids now, that was somewhat surprising to me. On second thougt there's a merit to it. They are digital natives, but natives in a colonized space. The digital commons is closed off and hemmed in, the only skills they learn are the ones provided by the digital colonial masters and while they live their lives in the digital spaces, they have no control over it.

@cocolinofan @holypangolin Karambola and Animatch are already on Flathub. The rest (except Rumina, which is unreleased) are available on itch.io and GitLab, although you'll need a keyboard for Now and Then as it can't be controlled by a touchscreen.

There is a lot of alarmist stuff going around about .io ccTLD being "retired", fedi instances that use it having to move, etc. 馃憖

Keep calm. Here's the one thing you need to know about this right now:

馃憠 Even if .io ever gets "retired", it will take *years* for this to affect already delegated .io domains in any way at all.

I cannot stress this enough, we are talking years if not decades.

Soviet Union dissolved 33 years ago, but .su domains still resolve.

Deep breaths.Carry on.

In a move that absolutely no one asked for:
I am porting the Windows Vista/7 desktop Gadgets to Wayland with some GTK sorcery.

These widgets are actually zip files with web resources plus some metadata.
I got the Machine CPU and RAM stats working, along with some of Microsoft's weird JS API's.

@martijnbraam Though depending on application you'll also want to be quite cautious about track routing. My prototype suffered from ghost touches cause it turned out the tracks were where your finger tends to rest while holding the board for longer 馃槀

@martijnbraam Give them some proper clearance from that ground plane and don't fill the ground on layers underneath (or use partial fill if it's necessary). Otherwise it's pretty simple indeed 馃槣

A feature that has been in development for some time is finally here鈥擬ultiple Render Targets. This paves the way for necessary emulation work for GL_RGBA32F to enable GLES 3.0 support.

@raptor85 @sos @gamingonlinux Ever since Deck was released I suspected that Valve will eventually want to migrate away from Arch as a base for SteamOS because of some of its properties simply making it a less-than-ideal choice for such project long term. However, it looks like they decided to throw money at Arch to have them provide the things they're going to need instead. I haven't thought about that possibility, but in hindsight it is a totally Valve move 馃槀
