I've conducted extensive research and can now 100% confirm that Elon is a cat eater. Did I just search the internet for one lazy example of the exact thing I was looking for? Yes, but that's what he does to attack immigrants and the trans community every day so I'd say it's fair.
Mike Magee, one of The Register co-founders died 🥲

Looks like a nice tutorial, complete with bringing the dependencies in, of how to do things (making a chess engine in this case) in Zig: https://johns.codes/blog/making-a-chess-engine-in-zig
[FR] Quelqu'un aurait un bon article qui parle des problème de modération et de censure sur wikipedia? Pour partager à des gens qui ne comprennent pas le problème?
[EN] Does anyone have a good article that talks about the problems of moderation and censorship on Wikipedia? to share with people who don't understand the problem?

pros and cons of paying for disney+ vs piracy
disney+
pros:
- get most of the disney shows and movies
- can share account with ppl
cons:
- can't sue disney for any reason
- have to pay to use disney+
- shows and movies can be removed at any time
- you don't "own" any of the content you're viewing
- disney+ can and will probably shut down at some point, you may have to resort to piracy to watch things you enjoyed
piracy:
pros:
- free (mostly)
- can watch any movie you want for free, even those not on disney+
- can sue disney
- you own what you're watching. you have the file on your computer, and can keep it forever
cons:
- might need a vpn/seedbox depending on your country or if you're paranoid about your ISP. VPNs such as Mullvad/AirVPN can be used, which is cheaper than what you'd pay for disney+ anyways
I maintain an Android app that doesn't get any new features. I still have to keep upgrading it once in a while. The amount of deprecations I have to deal with is crazy. It takes a day each time I touch the app to just get it working with the latest Android Studio. I am not even fixing any bugs or adding features. All this running just to stay in the same place.
Now ask me if I will consider using cloud platform services from the same company that's responsible for Android.
I designed my personal website to load in 1 second on 38.4kbps dialup internet. I spent a lot of my life getting work done with my laptop tethered to a StarTac phone on 14.4kbps CDMA. Modern web developers have no clue what real world internet connectivity is like for the majority of users. https://mastodon.social/@simon@simonwillison.net/112984044070256201
I realized I've never written about my automated colour correction workflor for scanning. Might be helpful for some people.
Because I often scan large numbers of things in a session, I don't want to do any colour correction by hand. Instead, I use a fully automated workflow. I do calibration via an IT8 chart, a colour chart with a large number of swatches covering different a wide range of colours.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
