Rubicon ObjC 0.5.4 has been released! This corrects an edge case of macOS event loop shutdown that led to the app being prematurely terminated, as well as some consistency updates for uses of CFLifecycle.

Did a test fit of all the fursuit parts. This is what I look like as a bat, all floofed up!

#fursuit #bat

Attachments:

• gifv: A video of me wearing my bat fursuit, and a poncho. I'm basically waving around, showing off all the fluffy parts, moving the jaw a bit, etc. The bat's got white and gray fur, a bronze nose and ears, and yellow eyes.

Never rent a car from Avis.

They charged me a mysterious $661.14 on top of my payment.

After 35 minutes on hold, promising every 30 secs that a CSR would pick up, they hung up on me. Their website says "The rental details are not available at this moment, please try later"

This should be illegal.

Upside: it works great if you only have ~30,000 songs: https://jwz.org/b/yj4o

Downside: if not you have to use Rockbox, which is an extremely Linuxy flavor of hell: https://jwz.org/b/ykd7

I suppose I might as well ask, this is part of an email that Google sent me informing me that “[I’m] now using Gemini on [my] Apple device”, and I would like to know *where* I am doing that so I can shut that shit off, I definitely did not enable it on purpose

It has been an honor and delight getting to know @Tzipporah and @Yehuda over the past few months.

If you haven’t met them, they’re the grandfather & grandkid duo that co-admin #TurtleIsland, a server focused on building community with Native/Indigenous people, other BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) people, and allies. To me, their story perfectly encapsulates the best thing about the fediverse and Mastodon: People coming together to build a place for themselves.

Read their beautiful story: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/05/community-spotlight-tzipporah-and-yehuda-of-turtle-island-social/

Python 4 but all it does is make `foo = "bar",` a syntax error instead of a tuple.

working in technology right now is great, the most PT Barnum motherfuckers you ever saw are all like, we have invented a time machine, and now 78% of all discourse is required by law to include endless hours of strokey-beard waffling about the endless political and social and economic implications of time travel and the deep impacts on our whole society and how we all must take time travel very seriously and shovel all our money into the time machine furnaces or we will be stranded in some terribly unfashionable decade with no snacks or friends and we’re all so busy worrying about that we’ve somehow failed to realise that there is no fucking time machine

(pulled from another thread)

Concerning Fred Brooks' "No Silver Bullet": I realized I've actually lived through a silver bullet moment in my field (CG).

In '95 a small number of people in the world knew how to do real-time perspective texture mapping and that by itself was most of the tech for a 3D game.

We got GPUs soon after and by 2005, we were up to fully programmable shaders with flow control and everything.

If anything, 10x productivity gain in a decade is underselling it.

Available now on @crowdsupply is the pre-launch for Modos Flow, a fast, open-hardware 13.3" E Ink monitor for everyday use:

- 3200x2400 resolution
- 60 Hz refresh
- Touch and stylus support
- Frontlight Support
- Available in B/W or Color
- Sub-100 ms latency
- USB-C for video and power

It's built on Enchanter, our new open-hardware board, and is designed to push E Ink even further, supporting more panels and higher resolutions.

this is the company that wants to “organize the world’s information”. was the intent of that mission statement to describe a world where there’s a curated pile of noise that, for legal reasons, everyone can be aware of but never act upon?
