is really not too happy when I try to embed 90 MB of images. Possibly I should use linking, instead. 🤔

@TerryHancock

Yeah I have a bit of work on the boil to help with that, only loading parts of images instead of the whole thing. Even if you were going to embed the whole thing in xml, there's ways of making it work.

someone should write a high performance vector graphics editor

@digiwizkid @mntmn

The problem isn't the editor, the problem is the renderers.

Really really complex documents are a pain in the arse to render, especially when the svg isn't well constructed (I've seen R packages output millions of tiny dots to fill a graph area for example)

I estimate the cost of writing a vector editor at about twenty million dollars. Time or cash. It's why people don't want to do it, too expensive.

@mntmn @digiwizkid I'm currently being paid by Inkscape to fix such crashes for 1.4, so this is the time to report them.

Though if its "out of memory" we might have more work to resolve it.

Stack trace should appear in the crash dialog since 1.3, copy and paste that into a report. No need for gdb or symbols.

I've only ever seen that happen on windows machines with weird memory violations and Linux on out of memory errors.

There is 1.3.2 available and you're welcome to test 1.4b too, if that helps.

doctormo, to Netflix

I watched #Atlas last night on #Netflix recommendation. i.e. J-Lo battles robots in a mech suit

I enjoyed it. Well, I enjoyed it while I also programmed on my second monitor. What I can say is that the plot is quite thin; the contrivances are quite contrived.

But what I saw was a more interesting film of childhood trauma and how it drives us as adults. The acting was critiqued on imdb, but I thought it was subtle, damaged, and the best part of the movie's themes.

1/2

#SciFi, #ai #film #movie

2/2

The thing about the theme, is that it's clearly about Atlas being abused as a 9 year old.

Manipulated by a adult (robot AI or not) to do something intimate they clearly don't understand. And that leading to a life of guilt and shame.

It's important that the film say out loud that it wasn't her fault. I would have liked it to make it clearer that Harlan was a manipulative abuser even before being set free, but the writing can't quite get there.

I might need to book Friday the 5th off work, as I will likely be drinking heavily through the night as the votes come in!

I'm less enthused. I'll kick the Tory, everyone should. But unless Starmer is one hell of a liar, it's more of the same as we take the L this year.

@popey

There's an arms long list of reform needed to reverse the last 13 years. None of it has been in his manifesto.

Having a break from the whipping and a sop of water for the next 5 years, will not a recovery make.

Unless he's a liar of course.

@popey

Pretty much.

I certainly understand the desperate wish to stop being under the boot. Though I'm not convinced we are a country ready for bootless government.

Someone said it's important say this publicly in the US: so I will. (And I think each of us should, online and to friends)

This November I will vote for Biden.

I would regard not voting for Biden, particularly in: PA, OH, MI, WI, IN, IL,VA, GA, FL, AZ, ME, NC, NH, etc. as a huge error. I'd be disappointed to find out anyone I knew didn't vote. It's one of a long list of things we need to do. We can't skip it.

And still? We deserve better choices, and in the future we shall have them.

doctormo,
@doctormo@floss.social avatar

@biplanepilot @futurebird

As it ever was.

We focused on certain things and they got better, we ignored certain things and they got worse.

Anyone who tells you it's just one more fight for utopia is a liar. It's an endless push for reform that we must pace ourselves for. Be alert but not afraid.

Don't panic

I miss the days when Ubuntu was inspiring, an ideal to aspire to. We need a new distro that captures the essence of this again.

@rolandixor

Know any bajillionairs who've just had life changing space trips?

Ubuntu didn't make money for pretty much all of it's existence. All that hope came out of having the resources to put into actions and pay people for their labour. This spurred on other people who contributed on top of that

But that way of funding things isn't sustainable

We have to grow Free Software Desktops as an Industry. How can we make software in a just and fair way, and how can we make more of it tomorrow?
