    @deshipu How do we prevent these large organisations from forming?

    octoprint is so good. it sparks much joy, in contrast to every other 3d printer software and firmware.

    Nici,

    @tomw @jacqueline I'm also pretty curious as someone who's never used octoprint

    This paper starts out amazing and just keeps getting better

    https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.06133

    A screenshot from the paper, it reads "The shredded banknotes were then collected. Surprisingly, three paperweight cylinders were opened, and two of them had stones in them". Three pictures follow.
    Screenshot from the paper, it reads: "This cylinder only contained 82.57/138 = 60% of the shredded banknote pieces that the label had claimed. Although this issue is not the focus of this paper, it appears that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has broken the law."
    Screenshot from the paper, it reads: "The idea for this paper was discussed with the staff during my visit to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority visitor center. The paperweight souvenir is currently no longer available."

    Nici,

    @jonty @Nici omg I retooted this without even realizing it was you jonty!

    You lent me a lidar sensor at #cccamp23 I havent forgotten about returning it just so you know :)

    I'll really wanna make it to emf this year, and assuming that all brit hackers will be there I'll give it back to ya then :)

    Thank a bunch, cheers!

    Nici,

    @jonty

    >Do you remember who was with you that borrowed the other one?

    Oh man, I dont remember at all. I don't think we exchanged any socials... They should have your email stickered on the sensor though... Mine did.

    Nici,

    @deshipu what hid device doesn't have or at least emulate two finger scrolling or a mouse wheel? I wouldn't call a design broken because we've moved past draggable scrollbars

    I often wonder why news consists of negative events: War, rape, robbery, etc.

    It's never a celebrity who found new love, or a kid that saved some kitten from a tree.

    Positive events don't sell, and it should be other way around.

    Today's front pages are depressing.

    Nici,

    @jorijn Controversy sells. If you're forced to take a side you will inevitably argue with others and that drives engagement.

    The most popular news sites don't care about educating and empowering their readers, all they want is clicks and the ad revenue that comes with it. It is absolutely fucked.

    And then realize that's not how averaging works.

    toot.community is almost 1 year old 🧁

    Nici,

    @jorijn ohh this is fun, I joined at pretty much your one year anniversary!

    It just needs an icon but otherwise it's pretty much ready for flathub!

    #GNOME #libadwaita #japanese

    A screenshot of this WIP libadwaita application, it has two modes, a mode for hiragana and another one for katakana, on both modes you are presented with a big text on top that is the romanized version of some hiragana/katanaka character and you have to guess which character corresponds to that romanized text.

    Nici,

    @GTK @fkinoshita I would actually love this.

    Theres something similar on android that is genuinely amazing. Check out Kanji Dojo!

    Currently trying to #reverse_engineer how issuu renders its documents. The backend serves me a binary that somehow contains the pdf page layout which is then rendered into a <canvas> html field on the website.

    Theres some ascii text inside that binary but I havent managed to get much more than that from it.

    Here's the site if anyone else wants to have a go at it:
    https://issuu.com/strteachware/docs/24_rechtsformen_brennpunkt_bd2_lp_3

    image/png

    Nici,

    There's some logic referencing creating said canvas in the document-page-reader.js file but its one line 19254 πŸ’€

    Nici,

    The code at around line 30803 is responsible for rendering the canvas itself. It uses a function called "drawCanvasObjectTree" Using a breakpoint I found out that it's run for every frame, including the page flip animation it does.

    Nici,

    This is a fucking pain in the arse

    Nici,

    @jorijn I'm just glad I havent hit a brick wall yet. Making progress... Slowly...

    This part specifically looks really really interesting πŸ‘€

    Get ready for shinier chord names! ✨️ Fretboard now utilizes the β™― and β™­ characters throughout the entire app. The chord name entry has gained a deep understanding of how chord names are built up, and turns your sloppily typed abominations of chord names into properly formatted strings instantly 😎️

    Thanks to @wjt for suggesting this!

    #Fretboard #GNOME #Guitar

    Screen recording of Fretboard, demonstrating how the proper unicode symbols for sharp and flat notes are used throughout the app

    Nici,

    @bragefuglseth @wjt This is genuinely so fucking cool

    Nici,

    @jacqueline @badrihippo That case looks great! Is it 3D Printed?

    Nici,

    @jacqueline oh a mildly unrelated note: You dont happen to attend CCC Congress this year, do you? I'd love to hear a talk from ya on this and what challenges you're facing designing this as well as moments of euphoria <3
