@skinnylatte Fuck, I need this.

@Natasha_Jay This is in the Biblioteca Palafoxiana in Puebla, Mexico - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblioteca_Palafoxiana

Who called it speedrunning Zelda and not Link Time Optimization.

If anyone wants to muck around, the #Emacs source tree still has a bunch of XPM images, and more or less assumes that -lXpm will work.

It already supports PNG, too. Maybe convert the XPM to PNG?

(bigger project: make emacs use glycin for sandboxed image loading on Linux)

Things that blew my mind today about Emacs:

* It requires at least librsvg 2.14, which is from 2006, which is when rsvg_handle_get_dimensions() was introduced. That function was deprecated in 2.52, in 2021. If available, Emacs will use all the new APIs. There is #ifdef hell in there.

* src/image.c is 13K lines of code.

* Emacs still uses debbugs.

* The first commit is from 1985, but the first hundreds of commits are weird. It normalizes in 1991.

* And Savannah still uses cgit.

Reinstall laptop, 'cause update drift means random shit no longer works.

Pxeboot is set up, doesn't work? No time to debug; burn a USB stick.

Graphical installer freezes after initrd, before installer.

Run text installer. Ugly, but works.

Installed. Salt-minion won't connect to the master, says master's key is too old and I must upgrade its version of salt.

😡

The Cuphead soundtrack is surprisingly, unsurprisingly, good for fixing the CI and each job that fails.

@skinnylatte we also had Peatónito, who fights for pedestrian rights. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/nov/09/unmasked-mexico-city-superhero-wrestling-pedestrian-rights

@skinnylatte I don't remember if you have posted details of your stove plus your wok...?

@lgm "After reviewing the complaints and the defense, I concluded that the concerns lacked substantive weight."

This is what enables abuse. If you read https://stallman-report.org/ and still think that, you are abetting abuse.

If you develop user-facing applications at all, I highly recommend that you watch Tantacrul's story on how Finale's lack of usability killed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqaon6YHzaU

@andrewrk do you ever put a flat plate under a soup bowl to contain spillage? Yeah, that.

Librsvg 2.60.0 is out! This is the version for GNOME 48.

No changes from the RC release.

Agárrense, que mi suegra me acaba de enseñar a hacer huauzontles #comidodonte

@categulario ¿cómo los preparan? Estos:

- limpiar, cortarles los tallos feos
- blanquear en agua hirviendo con sal
- escurrir
- rellenar de queso (más bien, rodear queso con huauzontle)
- exprimir con la mano
- enharinar un poco
- capear y freir

@cassidy @ebassi GNOME contributors feeding the masses.

Dunno, I really like this aesthetic.

Nice problems to have: my Outreachy intern finishes his homework faster than I can come up with the next one.

Me vs. Krita: I have no idea what I'm doing, but IT IS SO MUCH FUN

@skinnylatte wait, this doesn't need rising? My god, what have I been missing!

Who called it a hard drive made out of LEGO and not a block device.
