Microsoft Edge stops using React for some of the browser UI and it improves performance by 40-80%: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2024/05/28/an-even-faster-microsoft-edge/ 🚀
As a very "not normal" person that exists around kind people it gives me major whiplash when I realize that that experience is more of an outlier in most social contexts.
I get frustrated when folks get angry at others for being "not normal". I think "normal" people often assume that "not normal" people are attacking them or trying to invalidate them by being counter to their culture. The reality is the "not normal" person is just trying to exist with what is normal to them. I wish folks allowed more space for others to live their own reality.
Still thinking about this article.

There's still a chance the evil universe insane clown posse takes over in the 2024 election. One can dream
Re-watching this #homestuck "Lets read". This was so influential on me as a teen and contributed to me getting into computers. It's fun watching as an adult.

Do you have a book that you are currently reading? (To qualify, it has to be a book - physical, e-book or audiobook - that you have read within the past 3 days.)
Give this a boost, if you don't mind. It'd be nice to have lots of respondents.
Whoopsee. I see the warning signs of burnout. Time to drastically scale back resource expendature. Lets hope this one is straightforwars to ride out. 😝🤟
Debugging live #ActivityPub systems can be such a pain sometimes. Currently getting spammed by "Delete" events for random users whose public key can no longer be resolved via http signatures.

Excuse me but… why the chicken fried fuck can you stuff arbitrary WASM in a font?
High key enjoy making computers do neat things. Symbol manipulation and seeing its output is fun.

It's reasonably easy in most image editing software (lightroom, capture one, etc) to embed all sorts of EXIF metadata in an image. (Eg, photographer name, copyright, etc).
It would be great if there were a standard set of attribute tags for embedding Alt (and Title) text that gets automatically interpreted by services (like Mastodon) you upload to, so you don't have to type captions and descriptions every time. It would be so much easier to have this just live in the image files themselves.

What you're refering to as the Torment Nexus, is in fact GNU/Torment Nexus, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Torment Nexus. The Torment Nexus is not a man-made horror beyond comprehension unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full eldritch abomination as defined by POSIX.
