• I diagram showing a ribosome reading mRNA to generate strands of amino acids (proteins). Around the diagram I have placed READ pointing to where the mRNA is read by the ribosome, EVAL pointing to inside the ribosome, and finally PRINT where the amino acid is squirting out of the ribosome. Finally there is a LOOP poitning back at READ. I am sure you could quibble about all this or something, but it's a joke. Cut me some slack, my fellow internet fiends. (remote)

Ah, this is the moment where a lot of #Python folks would start realizing their use cases were perfectly well handled by multiple processes or by C libraries doing threading for them, and GIL wasn't really the problem.

(But congrats to those who really needed GIL-less Python, for sure.)

OWA raised "body scroll issues" as a candidate for Interop 2025. The inability to block body scroll in mobile Safari makes it very difficult to build native-like applications and remains a very long standing issue.

Want to help, give it a 👍 in github.

Here's the core hero group for a story I'm working on.

This project is a sort-of homage to Masters of The Universe and the action-figure marketing entertainment I so fondly remember from my childhood, so I'm doing this as a "minicomic" in the sense of the original He-Man minicomics (which were actually picture books -- check 'em out here: https://archive.org/details/masters-of-the-universe-first-13-mini-comics/mode/2up).

Attachments:

• An illustration in the style of comics realism featuring four characters from a sci-fi/fantasy setting. One character, large, very muscular, and mostly naked but for a ragged burgundy cape, a loin-cloth, and furry leg-warmers, is labeled "DROK: Barbarian Battler". Another character is a helmeted man with a moustache in purple and lavendar high-tech armor. He holds a laser-sword, and is labeled "DURGAN: Melee Master". The third character is a large, muscular, and mostly naked lizard-like character. She holds a large bone axe and has asymmetrical shoulder armor, a gauntlet, and greaves with a distinct red/white/blue pattern on them. Her label reads "TERRANA: Saurian Slayer." The last character is a small, green-furred prosimian in an orange cloak. He holds an open book in one hand. His label reads "GVILNAK: Prosimian Sorcerer". (remote)

6. Split (2016). I skipped this when it came out because it looked terrible and I was right. I watched it anyway today because it is THE most popular horror movie of 2016 on letterboxd and I hadn't seen it yet.

The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services.

Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen “feeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”.

What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it.

Public systems should not require use of private services.
