I always confuse "Ivy League" and "Fig Leaf". Then I remember that one is what you use to cover up your unremarkable attributes, and the other one is just a plant.

Running X11 temporarily and OH MY GOD THERE'S TEARING EVERYWHERE.

Wayland naysayers, how do you doomscroll and not go mad? Do you really live like this?

So... file: URLs can have a query, like file:///foo/bar.txt?blah

But why? Is there anything that would handle that?

@jamesh https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-parsing seems to disagree 🤷♂️

@jamesh hehe, I haven't really learned how hostnames play with UNC paths or if they are even related.

@xogium Don't forget that circa 2010-2011, Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems and disbanded the accessibility team. They were responsible for GNOME's accessibility infrastructure. We went from about 10 full-time people working on accessibility to none.

@brainwane I didn't know that Phabricator EOLed 🤯

@brennen hugops in advance; sounds like a huge job!

You know how C compilers have warnings mostly off by default, and static analysis and everything...

And once you turn them on for the first time in a code base, it is FULL of errors...

And yet those features are off by default because otherwise unfixed code appears broken...

Guess what? It *is* broken. You just haven't noticed.

@mairin Yes, the flatpak works well.

@mairin Imagine that a large portion of your known universe and toolset has been sucked into a black hole, and shaken a bit. You step into the black hole. It doesn't hurt, but everything is a bit off-place.

There is video, chat, a whiteboard, a calendar, and really way too much stuff. It's pluggable, and you can even install Teams specific apps inside it!

When you come out of the black hole, you'll do so as vestigial radiation, ready for another day.

Librsvg 2.55.90 is out! Tab completion for rsvg-convert, support for vector-effect=non-scaling-stroke, <use> can scale referenced SVGs, and a bunch of little spec-compliance fixes.
