Frustrating people create posters/leaflets/images with a QR code as the *only* way to find out more. That deliberately excludes people without QR code readers. It also opens up an attack vector; as there is no URL for a human to double check against it is easy for someone to stick an alternative QR code on top.

I'm glad that LNER took my advice a few years ago and now provide the URL in addition. Plenty of others could follow their lead.

This post brought to you by an unusable leaflet.

I feel like this image might be useful for the non-furries this week.

heat stroke = get medical attention

Rapid, weak pulse. Muscle crams. Heat stroke: Loss of consciousness. Throbbing headache. No sweating. High body temperature (over 40 celsius). Red, hot, and dry skin. Feeling nauseous or vomiting.

Before and after dragging a subexpression out

A block of code with a subexpression selected.
The selection from the other image is now outside the block. It's now contained in a sort of node, which is wired into the original block. It has two input wires, one for each free variable and one output wire. Each of the wires are labelled by the type.

Today May 12th, Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni was once again sworn in for another term, extending his rule to nearly 40 years.

As a young Ugandan, it really makes me sad to see leaders stay in power for so long while many people feel unheard and denied real freedom and democracy.

No one should fear change or be stopped from expressing their voice🥺

Small, consistent, local action is what change has always been made of.

Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers

After investigation; Gaomon, XpPen, and Huion won't collaborate on open-source drivers because of outdated naming conventions. Here's what I learned from direct contact with their technical teams, and what I plan to do to move forward.

@mlemweb @lufthans @cwebber

thank you so much. and that is very good indeed. sadly though, i do need thumb support: my wrist issues are exacerbated by a dislocating thumb, so that absolutely needs to be held in when it's misbehaving. i will bookmark this though, because i may have need of it for the other side at some point ...

many thanks again. and very well done! ✨

@lufthans @moonrabbit

I made a pattern for sewing RSI wrist braces based on @cwebber and my needs. You can find that here: https://mlemmer.org/blog/RSIgloves/

Most fabric stores that have spandex fabric have it in multiple colors (and possibly patterns) to choose from.

Now, caveats of that based on your post:
- One of the main reasons I wrote my pattern is because the style of brace that you've pictured is too rigid for our needs, we only needed compression not stabilization with metal etc. So depending on your needs my pattern might be too minimal
- My pattern focuses on the wrists and doesn't have any support/compression for the thumb
- If you were to make it in linen, you would need to use laces or velcro to get the compression since linen is a woven fabric and doesn't stretch
- You can do some embroidery on the spandex style compression gloves, but you need use a stitch that will stretch with the fabric so you don't lose the compression.
