Oh yeah, these votes are in! Got more than its sibling poll!

Interactive graphics, followed closely by mathematical analysis, come out ahead! Also programming's a popular subject among programmers.

Noone was interested in building USB/Bluetooth interfaces. I threw that option in because I too often see a need for it, when the native app's inaccessible. But clearly if you don't have the personal need there's no real interest in the subject.

So what'll I implement along these lines?

1/2!

I'll have *some* facilities for GUIs out of the box, and with your help I'll happily extend that over time. One interesting idea I saw as this poll ran is a declarative framework for drag & drop, that could be fun to incorporate!

And with your help we can consider adding images into those limited GUIs! Then build from there.

This should be enough to handle numerical analysis...
And I don't know what'd be desired from Alonzo for that other poll option...

merephone mini-news: I corrected some of novice mistakes & bought a pack of resisters. Now hopefully I can get my buttons to work?

If you have a pet, give them headpats for me!

We've released Dolphin 2609b.

This hotfix fixes several issues, such as a bug where Dolphin crashes for users in Alberta and British Columbia, color corruption on Adreno GPUs, missing translations on macOS, and more.

BREAKING NEWS: $MISS (Misskey) splits industrial saboteurs with $BTC trade #BreakingNews

@mastodonmigration Ahh yes: US weapons of mass deception. Not only a precision weapon but an area weapon too. They can carpet bomb their entire Internet and pirnt audience with a blizzard of lies as easily as aim a single well-written half truth or whole-cloth falsehood at one high value target.

@mattblaze deadline being November 10, if I recall correctly?

The real story of gen AI is the story of widespread, uncoordinated, unreported resistance.

When you see a CEO firing people who don’t use enough AI, the real story is that many of their employees refuse to do so unless their livelihood is held hostage.

When you see AI added to an application, present on every page, impossible to remove, the real story is that customers won’t use it unless it’s forced down their throats.

AI rejection is everywhere if you read between the lines.

@Alice @KevBot crowd sourcing may not be the answer here

@Alice @KevBot Pffft, no! I throw rocks in glass houses, it morphed into beerkakke before I finished writing that

@atomicpoet That tracks. Sadly.

On the topic of bad modern UX in browsers: unloading tabs.

Now, I don't have a problem with the idea of saving up space for RAM. But whoever decided: oh we'll just delete the tab entirely and re-fetch it from the server was a moron.

Unloaded tabs should be cached to disk and then reload *from the disk*. I should not open a tab on a phone, go into airplane mode, then hours later find out that it's no longer accessible.
