The WINE 10.0 change list looks amazing:
- ARM support
- Many graphics pipeline and touch input improvements, could be worth trying this with programs like Paint tool SAI and CSP
- Better high DPI and scaling support
- Native Wayland support
- Improved COM/RPC proxies and calling
- Moving from GStreamer to FFmpeg for decoding things should improve many things, also things like game intro videos etc.
- and much more
Now to the kicker with meshtastic.
The project is run in the usual tech-bro seeming ways and are rude ass fuck to new comers with less experience / platform than I who've made the -same- observations about floodfill's limits.
The core team is die on the hill of the shitiest routing algo possible because they I guess don't want to read anything about routing algos research.
Bruh... I worked in a networking research lab in the early 2000's, almost every excuse this team has made is bullshit.
This is a subtoot and should probably be a blog post. But basically some techbros are re-inventing mesh radios (badly) going on like my 20th year of tinkering in this corner of tech.
Low cost, developer friendly mesh radios have kinda been going in circles for decades.
So in many ways I guess I shouldn't be surprised to review yet another cheap mesh radio project and realize, "dude this just plain sucks and isn't improving at all, oh and the community is kinda awful".

TL;DR: The Second Circuit has ruled in favor of Vimeo in its legal battle with record labels, reinforcing protections under the DMCA and rejecting the labels' claims that Vimeo lost safe harbor due to user interactions with infringing content. This decision is a significant victory for creator communities and helps maintain the balance between copyright enforcement and innovation on digital platforms. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/second-circuit-rejects-record-labels-attempt-rewrite-dmca #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum
If you find later on that you need the illustration for something else (e.g. your book is being expanded into a boardgame), you can always contact the artist at that point for another license and discuss the fees.
Remember: artists are humans too. We want to see you succeed. Contacting us again with a "hey guess what, I'd like to expand on this project" is not going to make you look weird, it's going to make us very happy for you.
(Indie) authors and other commercial commissioners: you do NOT need to purchase the full rights to a piece right off the bat. Save yourself a lot of money and ask for a usage license. This is a license to use the illustration for your book/boardgame/whatever only.
A usage license for just your book/boardgame/company mantlepiece will suffice just as well and cost you a lot less than a full buyout.

Extremely bad Signal bug
To reproduce
1. Have Signal on iPhone and iPad that you don't use that much
2. Block someone on Signal with phone
3. Wait a good long time to use iPad, long enough that when you open Signal on iPad it gives you the "syncing stuff" screen
4. Your phone will inform you that you unblocked the user in question, even though you absolutely did not
5. Hope that person wasn't abusive and that this doesn't put you in danger
6. Hope the @signalapp devs take this seriously
NL pol en rechtspraak
De staat wordt gewezen op haar verplichtingen: zij moet zich aan haar eigen wetten houden. Dat vindt het huidige kabinet niet zo leuk – jammer, denk ik dan – en daarom klaagt het over de rechter die eigenlijk gewoon een constatering heeft gedaan en daaraan consequenties heeft verbonden.
The Date is dead, long live the Temporal!

re: uspol, trans document changes (passports, driver's licenses)
Oh and -- if you have a passport with an "X" gender, I strongly recommend making any trips out of the country one-way for now, as there's some talk of denying re-entry or allowing re-entry but confiscating your passport so you can't leave again.
I don't know how credible those are yet. Just advising caution.
I've also seen it recommended that if you're trans and not a US citizen, that you hold off on any trips to the US at least until things settle down.
re: uspol, trans passport renewal
If you're trans / non-binary and your passport renewal application has been delayed or denied due to Trump's executive order, the ACLU would like to speak to you.

@cato Strange company. Public data shows the company works from a private home. And mostly lost money. It never had more than 140k€ in the books per year. There is a second company at the same address, with the same owners. Making even less money.
The Website list lots of different parts, all with generic datasheets, seemingly rebranded with their Logo. Whatever they do, it is really, really strange.
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
