Whenever some moderator goes "some person shouldn't be doing this to staff member/moderator" I die a little.

There aren't a lot of things that shouldn't be done to member of moderation, that can be done to anyone else in a community. Implying moderation/staff is some protected class deserving more protection from rule breaking behavior is simply disgusting. If someone is harassing or behaving rude - it doesn't matter if its done to a community member or a moderator. You moderate it just the same.

Separating creatures into staff/non staff creates double standards and it's awful. Bleh.

Haiku domain PSA

The domain of the Haiku Project (haiku-os.org) domain has just expired, due to autorenewal failure. Do not visit links from the main site or any associated subdomains until the domain has been renewed.

I made this PSA in Haiku Community Discord earlier today too, but I've been seeing people in the Fediverse asking about this so it's posted here too.

In the meantime, there is still the official Haiku IRC/Matrix channel on OFTC (#haiku:oftc.net) and the various unofficial Haiku communities:

@gsuberland so basically:

Friendly reminder, if you stopped masking due to social pressure, anxiety, or for any other reason, and you wanna mask up again, you absolutely can! Lots of folks never stopped masking and some folks are starting again because of the cold and flu season on top of national COVID spikes.

#poll for folks who make art regularly as a hobby: how long do you usually spend working on a given art project?

Went through my notes and pictures of my two recent hikes in Wallonia and found a couple of benches and picknick tables not in Openstreetmap. So, added those. I love public picknick tables. I should primary focus on adding those to the map when I see one.

@th give someone one clock and they will always know the time, give someone two clocks and they will never know the time

Amazing. So looks like (in all Blink browsers on Windows since relatively recently) reading a user-selected File with a FileReader, and then putting the same file in FormData and sending it, crashes the tab.

I'll just work around this, can't be arsed to make a demo and figure out where to file the bug.

But yeah "file upload crashes browser" certainly aligns with the overall state of software these days.

Edit: I have not verified there are no additional circumstances involved. Just reports from multiple people about this particular internal tool consistently crashing in the last week or so. And yes, uploading a new Blob with the just-read contents fixes it.

Edit 2: fwiw I've tried to reproduce it outside of the environment and failed, so probably depends on some other weird shit I do, of which there's lots.

I did this drawing of myself the other day. I like how it turned out, even if it's not what I was aiming for at the beginning

There is no true "now"

possibly the greatest cat photo ever. happy halloween

I absolutely hate how a few incidents that could never possibly happen again with modern tech and standards gave people enough of a scare that to this day everyone chooses fossil fuel power plants that kill our lungs and our planet over nuclear power. Like we've already had the technology for safe, clean power for decades and we've been choosing to willingly sprint towards our own extinction instead largely because of 1 really bad situation caused by insane negligence and a handful of incidents where nothing bad actually happened but things got spooky for a few days.

Hey all! Our son's boyfriend is working on a project to develop a compendium of Transmasc Comfort Characters from books, movies, TV, and video games.

He'd love it if you'd fill out this survey with your favorite characters! Whether their transmasc status is canon or not - if that character comforts you, please include them.

Please BOOST! :)

Edit: Fixed - you can now submit multiple characters!

can we please reclaim the meaning of the word "love" and adjacent language as not exclusively romantic thing (for non-family members)?

i love my friends dearly

and it might have nothing to do with any romantic feelings

and i hate being scared of this being misinterpreted and having to clarify this, especially when i want to express these feelings for the first time

Saw a discussion on Bluesky about how web devs end up having no body of work as sites disappear, companies fold, and agencies shutter

This first happened to me in the 2000s. Almost every project, large and small, I've worked on since has disappeared. Even most of the ebooks I made for a publishers have been replaced. I've been doing this for almost thirty years and my body of work exists only as screenshots and vague memories

I had to deal with a freshly unboxed Android phone, and the flipping *clock* app, that was installed by default, came with a privacy policy.

I discovered this because the clock started crying that it couldn't work properly without Google Play Services.

I don't care what the privacy policy was for. I am tired. A clock app does not be into a position to have any privacy policy more involved than "we collect and report no data".

The clock is now disabled.

I am so tired of this.

So, lots of technologies have emerged over the last couple of years to make hot-rodded 3d printers really fast but somehow nobody has taken those innovations and put them into a matrix printer. Why? Please, some youtuber, make the worlds fastest matrix printer using controllers and tricks from the 3d printing space! Make that ink ribbon smoke! #3dprinting #retrotech
