Anyone with an account on Humble Bundle with payment details stored for easier checkout probably want to remove those right about now.
bittorrent is just extremely good and its full potential has never been really tapped because of its affiliation with piracy. non-piracy uses have gotten as far as making trackers, but i haven't found any work that actually gets down deep into the protocol itself. you can just solve most of bittorrent's problems with smarter trackers and bittorrent v2 but everyone got distracted by shiny things instead and wandered off to other protocols that work less good than bt.
Daily affirmation.

Hach ja. Wenn eins Omni-Freunde einlädt und die erstmal vorschlagen, Parmesan mitzubringen. Weil Spiegelei mach ich ja nicht, weil ich vegan bin. 🥴🫠
@Seitansbraten Das gute ist, dass man dann nur ehemalige Freunde wieder ausladen muss 😅🤐

@jamey oh! since you asked for details
the most fiddly part of using xft this way was getting its visual, and making sure it matched the one we were using xcb-side. fortunately we'd gone slowly through the xcb screen setup and done some background reading, so we were able to assure ourselves of that, but if we at some point want to support bars in non-default places, that's going to be rough.
thanks for your work on xcb, it is substantially more pleasant than xlib in a whole lot of ways, especially when binding to it from another language! :)
@ireneista yay, thank you, it's really lovely to hear that all that effort worked out! 😁
Now that's my idea of a holy trinity. I shall be joining the Abbot for a prayer meeting later I'm sure.

Please boost this, more people need to see this!
cool we got a reverse url -> torrent index going. now we need a little crawler to extract url lists from wacz archives by just skimming the zip index and grabbing just enough pieces pull them out, then populating the index becomes automatic.
so coming soon to a #sciop near you, a p2p wayback machine, where a URL can get resolved into a bittorrent-backed web archive. then we federate the sciops. and we have the federated/p2p archive dot org we deserve.

@jeffjarvis the headline got crippeled here: “Stehend k.O.“ is “Knockout while standing”, a boxing terminus
I hope he is the center and that it doesn't hold. The sooner markets and "the industry" return to something like sanity the better IMO.
@futurebird Maybe I’m naive but I think he’ll be fired. How can he be trusted to run such an important company?

@mariyadelano we should also normalise seeing llm use as a potential for improvement. Like "you used an llm here, fine, but how can we improve things such that we don't have to resort to it in the future?".
Even an llm-first person should approve of this, as it saves their tokens for other things.
@mariyadelano following up on my own post, I think building llm based workflows is akin to eating off of plastic plates that you throw away after every meal.
Both in terms of economy and experience when eating.
@mpjgregoire Do you feel Trump and his cabinet and advisors are fascists?
@Chigaze My assessment of how likely Pres. Trump is to be a fascist has fluctuated over the years, spiking up in January 2021. He certainly has fascist traits, and sending a mob of supporters to attack the legislature — isn't that what a fascist looks like on his way to power?
But: Do I think he's planned to cancel elections? To cheat on them such that his opponents can't win? To arrest or kill his political competitors? No.
On balance, no, I've always thought he's probably not a fascist.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
