I am looking for some visual programming environment that allows not only small processing nodes (like NodeRED) but that also includes objects with state. Think NodeRED but with a another dimension that contains objects that the flows interact with.

Anyone knows something like this?

Is this pithy complaining on my part? Sure.

But also, maybe we hold the most valuable corporation in the world to like, basically the lowest possible standard? Idk just a thought.

A large part of this is the multiple-display issue on M2 Macs, which you can easily find many threads, support requests and bug tickets on starting well over a year ago, and which has never been fixed.

Several times a day, I either have to disconnect and reconnect cables, or reshuffle my spontaneously rearranged windows back into my preferred configuration, or both.

Apple blames monitor manufacturers, despite the issue _only_ occurring with M2(+?) machines. 🙃

While I was restarting my iPad in order to fix an interminable FaceTime bug, so I could wish my mom a happy Mother's Day…

…It occurred to me that I literally never touch an Apple device without spending time doing something like that; working around a bug.

You should know: when I use the word "literally," I mean literally literally. I mean each and every time I use an Apple device, for any length of time, for any reason, I spend some of that time working around a bug.

What a state of affairs.

New comiCSS cartoon: Framework Fans vs Framework Bros
https://comicss.art/comics/140/

It was inspired by a Pizza Cake Comic cartoon (linked in the source code).

Attachments:

• 4-panel comic showing a person who receives a message on their phone and says 'Oh! The developer of that framework you like is trending', a second person smiles, waving a flag with the text 'That Framework'. Then the first person looks shocked at the phone, which shows a message with emojis for fire and angry people: 'Oh... Oh no...' says while reading the developer's hot take. In the last panel, the second person looks shocked and ashamed and drops the flag. (remote)

Musk claimed that Signal has unpatched security vulnerabilities. As a cryptography expert I’m not aware of any: instead Signal has top-notch state-of-the-art encryption which has been adopted by its competitors it’s so good.

Telegram isn’t end-to-end encrypted by default. It has no group chat encryption whatsoever. It uses a bizarre, badly designed “MTProto” protocol about which dozens of cryptography papers have documented myriad unfixed flaws.

And here are two more pure CSS demos showcasing animated halftone patterns, while the elements they're on either fill the full viewport or are positioned in 3D.

• Cube made up of 6 pyramids with missing bases (coinciding with the cube faces). The lateral pyramid faces inside the cube showcase an halftone pattern with a map that's a repeating radial gradient at the common apex of these 6 pyramids. Animating the stop positions of the map creates halftone ripples.
• Scrolling though a bunch of full viewport halftone patterns with varying gradient maps having stop positions animated via CSS custom properties.

Survey research from European streaming service Deezer indicates that music discovery peaks at 24, with survey respondents reporting increased variety in their music rotation during this time. However, after this age, our ability to keep up with music trends typically declines, with respondents reporting significantly lower levels of discovery in their early thirties. Ultimately, the Deezer study pinpoints 31 as the age when musical tastes start to stagnate.

@ben We all told everyone so. All of you. But you all dumped usenet news, public forums and other systems for fancy commercial ones. You all ran to Discord instead of continuing IRC. You all went to Reddit. You all went to Stack Overflow. Oh it was so "convenient".
Or back in time you all thought it would be cool to add information to IMDB without getting paid.

Now we have the fediverse. And what do people do? They sign up for Bluesky and Threads or stay on X "because the press is there, too".
